The Les Paul & Mary Ford Show

Les Paul Guitar
Les Paul, who passed away in 2009, was born in Wisconsin on June 9, 1915. His guitar playing and innovations, like his development of the solid-body electric guitar, are responsible for much of the music we hear today.

Among his many accomplishments, in the 1950s he had a five-minute syndicated television show with his wife at the time, Mary Ford. During that decade, Ford and Paul had a string of hit jazz songs, and The Les Paul & Mary Ford Show was often used to fill in space between regularly scheduled shows.

Check out this clip and the guitar playing skills of the man born Lester William Polsfuss:
