Music has lost yet another great talent. For those of you who don't know who he is, Les Paul was a musician and inventor who has influenced almost every aspect of modern music. He invented the electric guitar, the 8-track recording system, and many other devices that are still used in recording today. He was as much responsible for rock as Elvis and The Beetles, Pop as Michael Jackson and Madonna. He played on a number of hit records in the '40's, 50's & 60's when he retired to work on his inventions. In the '70's he came back and recorded several country hits with Chet Atkins. He recorded his first rock album in 2005 at the age of 90.
With out him there would never have been an Elvis, The Stones, The Beetles, Black Sabbath, Bon Jovi, Madonna, MJ, Garth Brooks, Hank Williams Jr....
