Les Paul was the father of the solid body electric guitar - the inventor of multitrack recording, overdubbing (also known as sound on sound), delay effects, electronic echo and many other recording innovations that today's recording artists use every day. Musicians from every genre have credited Les Paul for their careers. Numerous museum exhibits and awards continue to celebrate the innovations and accomplishments of Les Paul.
Anderson
Cooper of CNN said that "It is literally true that what is now known as modern American music would not be what it is today without Les Paul."
Known also as the "Father of the Solid Body Electric Guitar," "The Wizard of Waukesha," "Rhubarb Red," "The Father of
Modern Music," and others, Les Paul's curiosity about sound began at a very young age. Contemporary artists like Slash, ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons, Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Joan Jett,
Jimi Hendrix and many others have paid homage to Les Paul throughout their careers.
