Les Paul was a musician and an inventor. He paved the way for the sound of rock and roll with his most celebrated creation: the solid-body electric guitar. In the 1950s, the Gibson company would seek Paul's expertise in the development of the iconic Les Paul guitar, an instrument worshipped by countless rock legends including Slash, Jimmy Page, and Pete Townsend.
Paul was also known for many other innovations in music which we take for granted today, such as multi-track recording, overdubbing, and delay effects – all of which are used every single day in recording studios around the world. His vision and creativity changed music so profoundly that Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones has even said, “We must all own up that without Les Paul, generations of flash little punks like us would be in jail or cleaning toilets.”
Today, we celebrate the life and creations of Les Paul with a playlist of Gibson Les Paul devotees.

I thought at least someone would care because without Les Paul, we wouldn't have most of our modern music today...

He was a catalyst in the music industry. It's sad he's gone, but 94 ain't bad!
