Les Paul invented the Les Paul Gibson guitar and multi-track recording
Les Paul was a great musician and enjoyed over 30 hit successes from 1945 to 1961. He often recorded with his wife Mary Ford as vocalist. Their song “How High the Moon” is still revered as one of the great recordings of all time.
In the clip from the TV show Les Paul is demonstrating the multi-track recording technique he invented. Today we take multi-track recordings for granted.
