I HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING AND BEING IN LES' COMPANY SEVERAL

TIMES DUE TO THE GENEROSITY OF ANOTHER FRIEND BUCKY PIZZARELLI

ANOTHER GIANT IN THE WORLD OF JAZZ. I WARMLY CHERISH THOSE

MOMENTS. REST IN MULTI-TRACK PEACE LES.

Happy Birthday Les Paul

I love les paul I dont have a single problem with his music, it;s just so care free and happy

@ABSjazz Who knows if Les was so clever as to speed up his high-pitched track as to be in tune, or if that was the first track he recorded & all the others were tuned to the pitch of the first? My channel of 700 playlists is 2 years old next week, 54,000 views so far! It's organized by me, but built by the uploaders, my friends & 1600 subscribers. This video is on my memorial list for the greats who have passed away these past 2 years. Nice to see the next generation here as we honor another!

The GREAT Les Paul just doing things his own way. That's what made him great.

@godluckyhoward Actually, Les Paul used his multitrack recorder to speed up the guitar track, leading to the fast, high pitch sound. He then overdubbed this with the standard track for the effect.

Fantastic

As much as I loved Les Paul, I beg to differ with Operalover....we certainly WILL see guitarists as splendid as he was...but not as unique in the big picture...innovator, inventor, musician...in that respect, he was one of a kind for sure.

mary ford, (real name colleen sommers) was les paul's wife and musical collaborator in the early 50's.

This is from the very first record I ever purchased, back when I was a teenager. How good to hear it again!
