Read More »Wray’s new sound didn’t impress Cadence Records owner Archie Bleyer, who was ready to pass on the song. But his teenage daughter borrowed the recording for a birthday party. She loved it, excitedly telling her father that it reminded her of the rumble in “West Side Story.” Renamed “Rumble,” the instrumental reached No. 16 on the national charts and sold more than a million copies -- after being attacked for promoting teen gang warfare and being banned from the airwaves in Boston and elsewhere. But, as Wray later said, that “just made it sell more.” Half Shawnee Indian, Wray was born in Dunn, N.C., in 1929. When he was 8, a traveling guitarist named Hambone introduced him to the blues, giving him lessons on his front porch. He began performing in the late ‘40s, joining his two brothers in a country and western band. He served four years in the Army, and during the Korean War contracted tuberculosis, which later required the removal of one of his lungs and diminished his vocal capacity. Wray followed the success of “Rumble” with “Rawhide” (1959) and “Jack the Ripper” (1963). Among his other songs are “Black Widow,” “Big City After Dark,” “Run Chicken Run” and “Switchblade.” In recent years, his music has been featured in movies, including “Pulp Fiction,” “Independence Day” and “Desperado.” Wray moved to Denmark in 1978, living in a house on an island where Hans Christian Andersen once lived.
