Les Paul

Who could imagine that an 81-year-old man could have changed rock music when he was younger? Well it's true, and Les Paul did it. This musician and inventor has sold hundreds of thousands, if not millions of albums. He has also created something that has changed rock and pop history, the solid-body electric guitar. Music and inventing all started before he became famous, when Les Paul was very young. Les Paul was born on June 9, 1915 …

…best. He sold tons of albums and gained great recognition. As an electronic genius, Paul has changed rock music, due to his inventions. Some of Les's most famous and important creations include, the floating bridge pickup, the first guitar with fourteen frets and the multi-track recorder. None of these inventions have changed music nearly as much as his solid-body electric guitar. The 81-year-old Les Paul has probably made the biggest impact on rock music ever.
