Les Paul & Mary Ford How High the Moon

Mary IS what made Les play like that... See the way he looks at Mary when he jams. its all about her. I'll never forget the way he would always refer to her as "My Mary".. RIP Les & Mary...

What about Mary Ford, she did a lot of great tunes with Les? They are both fantastic!! Thanks for this video, luv'd it!

this video makes me think 'bout les paul...he is THE FATHER! of ALL best guitarists in the world, like pete townshend, jimi page, hendrix, slash, mike mccready, etc.

and why he is only the father, 'cause he invented the multitrack recording too, to record this song, 'cause in the original song his wife was playing the rythm guitar and singin'.

he wasn't the best idol in the story of the music only...he was a god, a man who experimented with everything to get new sounds, like the flanger.

RIP

Les Made me want to be not just a good guitarist but a better musician and teacher
This is the best example of what good sound shoild be

but he did invent the one of the first solid body electric guitars

there wouldnt be rock and roll were it not for les

He invented the solidbody electric guitar...electrics had been around for decades by the time the les paul solid body hit the market and leo fender beat gibson to the solidbody market years before the lp. In lp said when gibson finally decided to market the solid body the ceo said, 'we laughed at you for 10 years.'

Fuck!! Great song! Til now i only knew the Polecats version.

You know something's great...when you get goosebumps. :)

If you've ever heard Les Paul play you don't think of a guitar brand when you hear his name. Heard him back when I was a little kid and never forgot that great sound. Les smoked that guitar! Watch him work on Hold That Tiger. The name a coincidence? Yea right!
