Guitar great Les Paul has died at the age of 94. This man invented the electric guitar.
Above is a clip from his 1954-55 TV show with a very creepy Listerine mouthwash commercial in the middle (watch it and be fascinated).
The woman singing here is Mary Ford, who was Les Paul's wife at the time.
The songs are "Alabamy Bound" and "Darktown Strutters Ball."

R.I.P., Les, r.i.p.
ReplyDeleteI'm a heck of a lot younger than Les and Mary, but still old enough to have slept (oops) with friends who loved what he gave the world.
R.i.p., Les and Mary - and thank you, Doug and Darrell.
