 Guitar Legend: Link Wray
The Wrays then signed to Epic Records after disagreeing with their original label, Cadence, which wanted to tone down the tough image they began to have from "Rumble." The Wrays' next single, the pounding "Rawhide," went to #23 and was a hit among leather-jacketed, motorcycle-loving male youths.
Wray claims that because he was too slow to be a wiz on guitar, he had to invent sounds.
Wray put his mark on other people's records as well: he played guitar for Bunker Hill (in reality the gospel singer David Walker) on his Top Forty record "Hide and Go Seek" and it is Wray's scream on it that listeners remember.
