“At a live gig in Fredericksburg, Virginia, in early 1958, Link Wray & His Ray Men came up with the instrumental ‘Rumble’, which they originally called ‘Oddball’. It was an instant hit with the audience, which demanded four repeats that night. The host of the sock hop, disc jockey Milt Grant, paid for the track to be recorded in Washington, D.C., and released as a single; in turn, Grant would receive songwriting credit.

“Eventually the instrumental came to the attention of record producer Archie Bleyer of Cadence Records, who hated it. But Bleyer's stepdaughter loved it, so he released it despite his misgivings.”
