He left his native America and went to live in Denmark with his 3rd wife for a number of years and died there of a heart attack in 2005.
Link Wray was Mr. Rock & Roll. I have a dvd of Link and his two young sidemen performing a gig in London back in 1996/97 and Link BLOWS THE ROOF OFF THE PLACE!!!!!. Plenty of whammy bar shaking and amps feeding back and guitar screaming solos amongst the rock & roll numbers!!.Link Wray probably had the best performing act of anyone pre-Beatles. Rumble ruled.
The gig is from the O2 at Highbury corner in north London in either 1996 or 1997 I can't remember which?.I really didn't like the late '90's, but I'll check it out seeing as how Link was from a different era.
Right on, Mr. Page says he invented the power chord..Link Wray was Mr. Rock & Roll.
