Fred Lincoln "Link" Wray Jr (Dunn, 2 maggio 1929 – Copenaghen, 5 novembre 2005) è stato un chitarrista e cantante statunitense. È conosciuto soprattutto per il brano Rumble inciso da Link Wray & His Ray Men nel 1958, utilizzato nelle pellicole Pulp Fiction, Blow e Independence Day, l'unico singolo strumentale censurato dalle radio negli Stati Uniti. Wray è ricordato per aver esplorato un nuovo suono per le chitarre elettriche, come esemplificato dal brano Rumble, pubblicato da Link Wray and his Ray Men, nel quale il suono della chitarra si fa più distorto che in precedenza. Link Wray si trova al sessantasettesimo posto nella Lista dei 100 migliori chitarristi secondo Rolling Stone. Leggi di più su Wikipedia
