The first ever solo rock'n'roll star on the charts- PAT BOONE-should have been the first member. Next should have been Ohio's greatest garage band THE OUTSIDERS The RnR Hof F is more about politics than music anyway and if it hadn't been for Boone its doubtful RCA would have signed Elvis. Boone was the catalyst who opened up the gates to allow black music into the mainstream. Not bad for a less than minor country star who made 3 singles for Republic in Nashville The RnR Hall Of Fame?

It's an honor about one step above having your guitar or shadow-box gold album hung on the wall of a Chili's. The opening riff of "Fatback" has done way more for R&R than half the high concept crap that lines the walls of "Ohio's Louvre".

Just one of many claims of Mr. Wray that never actually happened anywhere but in his mind. Rumble and Raw-hide were never million sellers, despite his claims -- they were issued after RIAA's gold record program began, yet neither have ever been certified gold. Link Wray had two modest chart hits, neither of which ever made the Top 10. Say what you will about the RRHOF, but that's not enough to get him in. Rumble was never banned, anywhere, period.
