not sure how many will recognize his name.. but im sure most have heard his music, especially his song "Rumble" which has been featured in several movies including "Pulp Fiction".
Link Wray is known for being the first musician to experiment with the sounds that pioneered rock and roll and punk styles. Link virtually invented fuzz tone by deliberately punching holes in his amplifier speakers. He was also a true pioneer of the use of distortion on instrumental rock recordings.

If there's a rock and roll heaven
Well you know they've got a hell of a band

Sorry to hear this news. I really enjoyed Robert Gordon and Link Wray on Fresh Fish Special (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000085WK/102-2437629-2617730?v=glance&n=5174&v=glance)
