Les Paul is a unique blend of musician and inventor. His performing career started at the age of 13 and by the early 1950s he was the greatest jazz guitarist of his generation. The Les Paul Trio, which included his talented wife Mary Ford, produced such hits as “Tennessee Waltz,” “Mockin’ Bird Hill,” “How High The Moon,” and “Vaya Con Dios.” He also won a 1977 Grammy with Chet Atkins for the album Chester and Lester.
As an inventor, Mr. Paul’s breakthrough creation of the solid-body electric guitar paved the way for electric music made the sound of rock and roll possible. In 1953 while performing with Bing Crosby, he perfected the first muli-track recording machine, allowing separate lines of instrumental music and vocals to be blended together. His many recording innovations–including sound-on-sound, overdubbing, reverb effects, and multi-tracking–greatly accelerated the advancement of studio recording.
