The story of the almost forgotten man who started the rock revolution. The humble and talented Link Wray was a Native American. Born into extreme poverty, he invented the power chord and eventually a whole new genre of music with his song Rumble. Both Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan paid tribute to Link Wray after his death. Who was Link Wray and why doesn't the world know his name and story, even though his influence is undeniable? In the documentary, famous guitarists talk about Link Wray's influence on modern rock music. (The Rock Prophet: Link Wray. United Kingdom, 2023.)
