I'm a bit late with this information - it happened late November. Very sad but what a contribution to music? His classic instrumentals are going to live on forever as the birth of primitivism in rock and roll. We were lucky enough to see Link live at Dingwall's back in the early 80s and Sue got to shake his hand. His set was primarily made up of standards, Elvis tunes etc but he finished off with a rousing medley of his golden age hits.
My claim to fame is that I met Screamin' Jay Hawkins, another lost legend. A very scary man indeed.
