Les Paul In His Own Words

LES PAUL IN HIS OWN WORDS

By Les Paul and Michael Cochran

Forward by Paul McCartney

Les Paul tells his whole story as only he could, in his own words. Les Paul’s enduring influence of his unique contributions to recording technology, instrument design, and American popular music are unsurpassed. Truly a man who changed the music industry, he is considered the “Father of Modern Music.” Les Paul was involved with nonstop experiments in his homemade recording studio which led to the invention of sound-on-sound, multi-track recording, echo, the solid-body electric guitar and a host of other discoveries that revolutionized the recording industry. While he and his wife Mary Ford dominated the 1950s pop charts, Les went on to continue playing into his 90s. Filled with personal anecdotes, behind-the-scenes stories and insight into his mind, Les Paul in His Own Words, is the most important book about Les Paul available.
