Lester William Polsfuss (June 9, 1915 – August 12, 2009), known as Les Paul, was an American jazz, country, and blues guitarist, songwriter, luthier, and inventor. He was one of the pioneers of the solid-body electric guitar, which made the sound of rock and roll possible. Paul taught himself how to play guitar and while he is mainly known for rock music, he had an early career in country music. He is credited with many recording innovations. Although he was not the first to use the technique, his early experiments with overdubbing (also known as sound on sound),delay effects such as tape delay, phasing effects and multitrack recording were among the first to attract widespread attention.
His innovative talents extended into his playing style, including licks, trills, chording sequences, fretting techniques and timing, which set him apart from his contemporaries and inspired many guitarists of the present day. He recorded with his wife Mary Ford in the 1950s, and they sold millions of records.

The popular hit-making couple string three songs together in one memorable performance: "I Really Don't Want to Know", "There's no Place Like Home", and "Tiger Rag". This comes from their appearance on the public domain TV series, "The Colgate Comedy Hour", originally aired on March 21, 1954. That variety show actually starred Abbott & Costello, and featured various acts between skits. Les Paul & Mary Ford are awesome! And they're both legends! In the long run, Les fared better than Mary in commercial success. It's a real shame they broke up. Les was an innovative guitarist who ultimately had a guitar named after him (the Gibson Les Paul)! Mary was also an excellent guitarist. And she was an OUTSTANDING singer! Les Paul and Mary Ford had a fun onstage presence that combined humor...
88-year-old Les Paul playing live in a New York jazz club in July, 2003. Shot for The New York Times Web site.
A VERY rare live television performance by Les Paul and Mary Ford. Most musical performances on TV in the 1950's were Milli Vanilli-esque lip-synched affairs so this is a real gem. Les and Mary perform "There's No Place Like Home" with some classic add libbing, especially from Les. Mary Ford was a fine guitarist in her own right and that fact is ably demonstrated here. Watch for when Les goes wild and breaks his high E string. Mary is about to punish him when... Well, watch the video. And, dig those gorgeous 1952 Gibson Les Paul guitars, heavily customized by the master himself. Trivia: Les shattered and almost lost his right arm in a 1948 car crash. Les had the doctors set his elbow at an angle so he could still play guitar but he could never again fully extend his right arm.

AMERICAN MASTERS PBS SPECIAL - Les Paul ~ Chasing Sound Les Paul was the Godfather of the electric guitar. Inventor of multi-track recording, overdubbing, reverb, and echo. Music as we know it would literally not be possible without the recording processes he pioneered. His virtuosic playing, and the mythical Gibson electric guitar that bears his name, inspired the legends of the rock & roll revolution. These award-winning programs are regarded as the definitive and final portraits of this musician, inventor, and American legend. Both capture the late Les Paul in his final ribald and roasting-toasting performances, hilarious interviews, and a privileged behind-the-scenes tour of his museum-like New Jersey home. Strap in for a ride with this larger-than-life 90-year old as he plays his stan...

Les Paul will forever be known for his role in the popularity of the electric guitar, the design of the Gibson Les Paul guitar, the multi track recording, the early guitar effects, and his million selling recordings with wife Mary Ford. However, did you know Les also appeared as product endorsee in more NAMM shows than just about any other artist? From the 1950s onward Les stood in the Gibson booth shaking hands and signing autographs while promoting the guitar line. In fact in 2006, after the Gibson Company purchased Baldwin Pianos, Les was at the NAMM show promoting the Les Paul Baldwin Piano. Les passed away in August 2009 at the age of 94. NAMM and the Les Paul Foundation will celebrate his 100th birthday at the 2016 NAMM Show in Anaheim in January.
