LP, besides being a brilliant musician, practically invented modern recording. It is impossible to overestimate his contribution; his influence is everywhere.
@Keablerthegreat 1951 was the year it hit the charts...Can you imagine hearing this one blasting from your radio for the first time...wonderfully powerful track that must have inspired generations of musicians present and future the first time they heard it.
@rockskimmer111 easy, Les Paul was a kind, loving man, while kanye is a deuce. that tells you where the nation likes to spend their time, watching some wanna-be-musician over the legendary Les Paul in (what i think is) his prime
Les Paul used to get drunk and beat the shit out of Mary Ford and he was also very abusive to his son, Les, Jr; Les Paul was hardly a great human being.
@SatchmoSings did you know the man personally?chances are your talking out of your ass my friend,if you CANT have something too share with us please DONT SHARE it at all.,"used too get drunk and beat Mary Ford",what GARBAGE,i will NOT let you dishonor the memory of this man,your are a horses ass,did you go too his funeral?,I DID,where you there with Pat Martino,Bucky Pizzarelli and others too pay your respects?i didnt see you there pal,you are WAY out in left field takeing a piss....
I remember in like 1970 this kid in my class kept going on and on about trying to save up for a "Gibson les Paul" (guitar).....he was clearly in mental agony about not having this guitar
This was the second (78rpm ) record I ever bought as a 14 year old boy.
It cost me almost 3 weeks pocket money, and set my basic musical preferences for the rest of my life. I was so fascinated by the multi-tracking it also started me on my career path - in electronics.
- and Mary Ford had the sexiest voice !
Even now,the beginning and end are used as the opening and closing themes on my computer. :-))
I can listen to this over and over and still be thrilled by it. Imagine having that level of pure competency and a Missus in it with you. A moment of pure heaven on earth.
Les was actually sued by the musician's union for unfair labour pratices because he'd simply over dub and play all the parts himself. The suit is reputed to have gone on for the long time and attempts were made to stop him from releaesing records unless he paid a "labour' penalty based on the number of over dubs per song. More liberty and innovation brought to the world by organized labour.
@ChynaRider yes indeedy... unions once again working to halt progress of the world so as to benefit the 'hard working' union members, rest of the world be damned.
This team, Mary Ford and Les Paul, was unbeatable and they’ve remained unsurpassed since their performances. Exceptional talent and real enjoyment. It was so very sad that they separated apparently under such tragic circumstances. They’ll remain greatly remembered and missed.
to all the ppl saying he didnt invent the electric guitar. HE INVENTED THE solid body electric guitar! and improved on it quite a lot! before him and leo fender the electric acoustics werent very good so research stuff people

Dirtydickable- you don't know what you're talking about. Atkins was not an electrical engineer and he did not create any echo or modulation effects. He was, however a good studio engineer and a good producer. He was also a great guitarist. But he is not to compared to Mr. Paul with respect to the various facets of music technology.
Les Paul did have a large input to multi-tracking but also used some echo effects devised & developed by Chet Atkins. Chet also developed the electric pick-up for guitars & worked with Gretsch Guitars for many years increasing the technology i.e. multiple pick-ups,tremolo. Chet was an electric engineer & made the echo chamber effect electronically to copy the effect of playing through 40 feet of pipe.
Les Paul did invent *a* solid body guitar ... but nobody - including Gibson - would market it at first. So when Leo Fender was the first to market a solid-body and it was obviously selling well, Gibson came grovelling back to Les...
I'm just glad they let this song back on YouTube. Man I was royally 'PO'ed when they took this down. Matter of fact, Ima gotta feature this now, for sure! Today would have been his 96th bithday, in fact.
Not only was this sheer brilliance to "multi-track", Mary's vocals (and looks) are luscious. All the "poorformers" of today- Miley Cyrus, Lady (?) Gaga and the rest
SORELY NEED TO HEAR HER. This is VOCAL TALENT. This is what's good.
Not screwing onstage or falling off it. Or trying to sing when honest to Christ jackasses
This discussion is all about solid body electric guitar, because in 1932 Rickenbacker was already comercializing George Beauchamp's invention: the Frying Pan guitar, an acoustic steel guitar with a magnetic pickup.
Lloyd Loar was an accoustic instruments luthier and worked at Gibson from 1919 until 1924. His experiments with electric instruments were not succesfully.
Les Paul solid body electric guitar was invented in 1939, but Gibson reffused to produce it. Later on, when Fender released his Telecaster model (1949), Gibson remembered Les Paul's invention and started to produce his electric guitar in 1951.
First "Pop" music I remember as a kid about sixty years ago, and I still love it. I know that Les Paul inspired many guitarists, but I think that his was a "god given" talent, and not something that you can learn. About time they mad a film of his life.
Les Paul offered to Gibson his new ideas on creating a solidbody electric guitar, gibson refused and referred to les Paul's prototype guitar as a mape. then LATER fender came up with the telecaster and quickly Gibson asked les Paul to work with them. two years later releasing the first les Paul guitar (sorry for my English)
Gee that,s strange some dope named paul gilbert said before jimi hendrix there was no electric guitar!!!??? this sounds like incredibly electric guitar and very advanced guitar to me !late 1950,s? this guy exudes and leaves behind an infuence this gilbert jerk off never will come close to!
look at the pickups at 1:36. Those are definitely not P-90s. They look like DeArmond Dyna-Sonics. Like those on Gretsch's Chet Atkins model. The competition!
I guess Les was always tinkering with his guitars...
@fwerfwater ah you got me. it was far too obvious...but seriously, just because this song was made long ago, doesn't mean its better than anything today.
@YourMateJosh first time in my life i read such a major bullshit!!!,.....LesPauls do not sound shit!!!maybe your taste of guitar sound,or even your playing is shit,not the sound of a LesPaul....
Les Paul: "twelve guitars and twelve Mary singing" guy intrerviewing: "Does that mean 24 tracks?" Paul "Very good!" :D Great playing by Les Paul and great singing by lovely Mary Ford.
Les Paul was an amazing man. Not only did he pioneer mult-tracking but also built the first solid guitar with Gibson. In addition he was a virtuoso on the guitar. He is an icon.
that man must have been fucking strong...

Good God Amighty!.
I'm 60, and I've been livin' in a cave!.
I do know 'of Les Paul', but virtually nothing else.
If this is an example of his Genius, then this, and everything else of him must be required study.
The mix of Mary Ford and Les Ford is fabulous, to say the least.
Watched, and listened to closely, it is perfection.
I WILL show this to my Grandkids, they really should know this.

Les Paul was an amazing man. Not only did he pioneer mult-tracking but also built the first solid guitar with Gibson. In addition he was a virtuoso on the guitar. He is an icon.
