Les Paul (June 9, 1915 – August 13, 2009)

Today the world lost one of the great innovators in music, guitar legend Les Paul, who passed away today at the age of 94 from complications from severe pneumonia.

Countless guitarists over the last 50 years have played and revered their Gibson Les Paul guitars, including myself, having owned my 1958 Les Paul Jr. since 1975.

Les's contributions to the world of guitar music can never be overstated.

I hope you enjoy the songs by Les Paul & his wife Mary Ford on this tribute playlist.

Les Paul, you will truly be missed, and your legacy will live on in the music of many of the great guitarits of our time.

Cheers to you, Les!
