720 ( Les Paul & Marry Ford - World is Waiting For the Sunrise )
Yesterday master guitarist Les Paul died; yet another amazing guitar man passes. Today he is probably mostly known for the electric, solid-body guitar that he invented and the one that's mainstay guitar of the industry which bares his name. For me, however I remember Les Paul for his blistering guitar work; this song contains one of his most memorable solos for me. Not bad for a man who's right arm was permanently set at an angle, which was because of injuries from an auto accident.
It's funny how so often someone makes claims that person "X" was a major or "THE" influence on music; there is no question at all about Les Paul's immense influence and contributions to music. I know that there are a lot of musicians out there mourning his passing and many who owe this man for their careers. He will be missed, but his music and the guitar that bares his name will live on.
Here is the studio version on YouTube.
Here is a mimed performance from the Les Paul & Mary Ford Show on YouTube.
