Link Wray - Deuces Wild (The Rumble Man, UK, 1996)

The first film to feature one of the most influential guitar players of all time, the mighty Link Wray. Some of music's most famous names have been in thrall to the guitar playing of Link Wray. Bob Dylan proclaimed Link's song "Rumble" as "the best instrumental ever".
Other's that claim to have been influenced by the great man include The Who, Neil Young, The MC5 and The Stooges. Wray has been performing and recording since the 1940's and enjoyed a U.S. million selling single with "Rumble" in 1958.
Filmed during Link Wray's UK tour of 1996, The Rumble Man is a mix of live footage and documentary featuring an extensive interview with the man himself. The Godfather of dangerous guitar talks openly about his life, his music, the army and his collaborations and friendships with an array of stars including Hank Williams, Tex Ritter, Gene Vincent and Elvis Presley.

I'm just amazed at Link an his playing I just don't get why this guy wasn't as big as the Beatles or stones or Elvis for that fact at the same time I'm happy to have found may he rest in peace on the internet 😀 😊 💛

They knew who he was though. Jimmy Page credits Link Ray with the originator of the power cord.
