LINK WRAY
May 2, 1929 - November 5, 2005

It is with great sadness that we inform you that Link Wray passed away from heart failure at his home in Denmark on November 5, 2005. He was buried after a private service at Christians Church in Copenhagen Denmark on November 18, 2005.

Link was a Korean War veteran and very proud of his service to the United States of America.

Link Wray played music for over sixty years, always staying true to himself. Not settling for the "oldies circuit", Link continued to release new music throughout his career. He recently completed a lengthy tour of the states just four short months before his death.

Link Wray laid the foundation of rock and roll guitar, influencing the likes of Pete Townshend, Bob Dylan and Neil Young, as well as hundreds of thousands of musicians and millions of fans all over the world.

Punk rock, grunge, garage, rock guitar, surf, heavy metal and more...it all started with Link Wray. He shared the stage with Patsy Cline and Bruce Springsteen...and just about everyone in between. He is truly an unsung hero of rock and roll.

Link's "Jesus God" has called him home and Heaven is rocking a whole lot harder tonight.

Rest in Peace Link.
