Les "Lester William Polsfuss" Paul
 |  | By Colin Archer, AP |

LES PAUL
Birthname: Lester William Polsfuss.
Age:
91; born June 9, 1915. Now lives in:
Mahwah, N.J. Innovations:
Developed prototype for solid-body electric guitar produced by Gibson; developed recording techniques such as close miking, multitracking and use of echo and delay; introduced first eight-track tape player in 1950s; built early model synthesizer. Notable awards:
Inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1988), Songwriters Hall of Fame (2005), National Broadcasters Hall of Fame (2006), National Inventors Hall of Fame (2005). Five Grammy Awards (three for instrumental albums, one technical award, one lifetime achievement award). Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award (2004). Quote:
On his motivation for building a solid-body electric guitar: "I was playing an apologetic, sweet little instrument that was always in the background. It had a lot to say but nobody could hear it. I was playing a little drive-in barbecue stand outside of Waukesha, and one of the guys in the rumble seat wrote a note to the carhop and said, 'Red, your voice, your jokes, your singing, your harmonica is fine, but the guitar's not loud enough.' I went home to my mother and said, 'Mom, one of the critics at the barbecue stand just lit the light for me that the guitar has to be amplified also."' Barely out of kindergarten, he was intrigued by the tinkling of the player piano in his mother's parlor and the different tones he could create by tapping the wooden banister rails on his way upstairs at bedtime.
That childhood fascination drove him as a young man to experiment with what would eventually become one of the first mass-produced electric guitars that still bears his name and is considered an industry standard.
Watching Paul meticulously check his levels and fiddle with a battalion of electronics before a recent performance, it was obvious that as he approaches his 92nd birthday, his musical curiosity is as undiminished as his love for performing.
"It takes your whole life, because you're constantly thinking up new things," Paul said in a backstage interview at Iridium Jazz Club, where he has commuted from his home in Mahwah, N.J., almost every Monday night since 1996. "I have a list of things that you should be able to hear and are not yet created."
Paul wears one modern gadget when he performs. What looks like a standard hearing aid actually doubles as a miniature wireless monitor speaker that allows him to better hear his band onstage.
"He's always looking at new technologies," Marty Garcia, president of Future Sonics, which makes the ear monitors. "He'll call me at 9 o'clock at night and we'll be on the phone for hours."
Arthritis in his left hand prevents Paul from playing the lightning-fast scales for which he was known in his heyday, but he has adapted his style to combine chords and single-note runs. He nearly lost his right arm in a car accident in 1948, but persuaded doctors to set it at an angle that would allow him to still play the guitar.
"I said, 'Aim it at my navel and I'll be just fine,"' he recalled. "The rest is history."
The set list at Iridium changes from Monday to Monday but usually features old standbys such as "Over The Rainbow," "Embraceable You" and "Sweet Georgia Brown." Paul also includes an up-tempo version of "Tennessee Waltz," one of the songs he popularized with his late wife, singer Mary Ford, in the 1950s.
The shows are equal parts music and Borscht Belt comedy shtick. Rhythm guitarist Lou Pallo, bassist Nicki Parrott and pianist John Colianni play straight roles as Paul riffs on any number of topics.
During a recent performance he bantered with Colianni about what crosses a musician's mind when he pauses during a solo.
"Know what I think about?" Paul asked.
"What's that, Les?"
"My wife's sister."
The room shakes with laughter.
Paul credits his smooth delivery to years spent playing TV and radio gigs with some of the biggest names in comedy.
"I would sit there in the conference room and Jack Benny would be rehearsing the show for that night," he said. "Jackie Gleason, they were all dear friends of mine. There's where I learned."
GUITAR GROOVE: 10 great places to get itIn person, Paul is an engaging raconteur with an extraordinary ability to recall the details of his more than seven decades in show business — like the time in the 1970s when he was approached by country-and-western star Chet Atkins with what seemed a puzzling proposal.
"Chet said, 'I'll play my violin and sing and you'll play your banjo and your harmonica and we'll do all the things we're not known for,"' Paul said. "Well, I was terrible on the harmonica, terrible on the banjo and I sang just as bad as I always do. And Chet was no better, so between the two of us we were horrible. I said to Chet, 'Don't you think we should do what we can do best?"'
The result was a Grammy-winning album, one in an almost endless number of awards and accolades Paul has received. He is likely the only person who has been honored by separate national halls of fame for broadcasting, inventing, song writing and rock 'n' roll.
The story of Paul's role in the development of the solid-body electric guitar in the 1940s has become part of rock folklore: how he fashioned an early version out of a piece of railroad track before settling on a more manageable size and weight. (Around the same time, Fullerton, Calif.-based Leo Fender was developing an electric guitar that remains Gibson's chief competitor.)
Once Paul developed a reliable prototype, he immediately began to experiment with altering the basic sounds of the guitar, and laid the groundwork for the reverb pedals, flanges and other effects guitarists use today.
"I said, 'Look what I can do here, I can make it sound like it's underwater, I can make this thing sound like it's in the Alps with all the echo and delay,"' he said. "It was a giant step forward."
Gibson began mass-producing the Les Paul model in 1952, and it eventually became the instrument of choice for generations of rock musicians, many of whom grew up unaware that its brand name refers to a person.
Paul's interest in sound dates back to when he was barely out of kindergarten: He would make sounds on the staircase banisters as if he were playing a marimba or vibraphone.
He also noticed that when he slowed the tempo of his mother's player piano, the notes would play at the same pitch, yet when he slowed the family's Victrola, the notes got lower. With the help of a school science teacher and the local library, he discovered a distinction that many adults might find challenging today: the phonograph operated on analog principles, while the player piano used digital.
More than 80 years later, his influence on popular music is incalculable, largely due to his early use of recording techniques such as multitracking, delay and echo. His 90th birthday at Carnegie Hall in 2005 drew a diverse roster of guitarists including Peter Frampton, Jose Feliciano, Steve Miller and Edgar Winter, and he collaborated with Frampton, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and others on a rock album, Les Paul & Friends: American Made, World Played.
In addition to the guitars spread all over the world, some of Paul's items are on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, and he is donating more for an exhibit at the Waukesha (Wis.) County Historical Society, in the town where he grew up. He is scheduled to play a concert in Waukesha in May to benefit the museum project.
The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History also is discussing an exhibit.
"He has far more artifacts of interest and significance than any one institution could take," said John Fleckner, the Smithsonian museum's senior archivist. "There's no question that we would welcome a donation of materials from someone as significant in so many different ways as him."
Paul was hospitalized last year with fluid in his lungs and missed the Grammys, but has since recovered and said he plans to keep playing at Iridium on Mondays "even if they have to bring me here on a stretcher."
"It's better than any award I could get," he said. "It is the greatest therapy you can get, to be among your friends, make new friends, make people laugh, make people happy. You feel like you're doing something with your life rather than just letting the days pass by."

Les Paul - GIBSON OBITUARY-MEMORIAL - SLIDESHOW - VIDEO + New Ace Frehley Song
|
Tinkering with electronics and guitar amplification since his youth, Les Paul began constructing his own electric guitar in the late '30s. Unhappy with the first generation of commercially available hollowbodies because of their thin tone, lack of sustain, and feedback problems, Paul opted to build an entirely new structure. “I was interested in proving that a vibration-free top was the way to go," he has said. “I even built a guitar out of a railroad rail to prove it. What I wanted was to amplify pure string vibration, without the resonance of the wood getting involved in the sound." With the good graces of Epiphone president Epi Stathopoulo, Paul used the Epiphone plant and machinery in 1941 to bring his vision to fruition. He affectionately dubbed the guitar “The Log." 
Meanwhile, Paul began to experiment with dubbing live tracks over recorded tracks, also altering the playback speed. This resulted in “Lover (When You're Near Me)," his revolutionary 1947 predecessor to multi-track recording. The hit instrumental featured Les Paul on eight different electric guitar parts, all playing together. 
This historic track was performed during a duo with future wife Mary Ford. The couple's prolific string of hits for Capitol Records not only included some of the most popular recordings of the early 1950s, but also wrote the book on contemporary studio production. The dense but crystal clear harmonic layering of guitars and vocals, along with Ford's close mic-ed voice and Paul's guitar effects, produced distinctively contemporary recordings with unprecedented sonic qualities. Through hits, tours, and popular radio shows, Paul and Ford kept one foot in the technological vanguard and the other in the cultural mainstream. 
“The world has lost a truly innovative and exceptional human being today. I cannot imagine life without Les Paul. He would walk into a room and put a smile on anyone's face. His musical charm was extraordinary and his techniques unmatched anywhere in the world," said Henry Juszkiewicz, Chairman and CEO of Gibson Guitar. “We will dedicate ourselves to preserving Les' legacy to insure that it lives on forever. He touched so many lives throughout his remarkable life and his influence extends around the globe and across every boundary. I have lost a dear, personal friend and mentor, a man who has changed so many of our lives for the better." 
President of Gibson Guitar. “I have had the privilege to know and work with Les for many, many years and his passing has left a deep personal void. He was simply put – remarkable in every way. As a person, a musician, a friend, an inventor. He will be sorely missed by us all."
Les Paul has since become the only individual to share membership into the Grammy Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the National Inventors Hall of Fame, and the National Broadcasters Hall of Fame. Les is survived by his three sons Lester (Rus) G. Paul, Gene W. Paul and Robert (Bobby) R. Paul, his daughter Colleen Wess, son-in-law Gary Wess, long time friend Arlene Palmer, five grandchildren and five great grandchildren. A private Funeral service will be held in New York. A service in Waukesha, WI will be announced at a later date. Details will follow and will be announced for all services. Memorial tributes for the public will be announced at a future date. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Les Paul Foundation, 236 West 30th Street, 7th Floor, New York, New York 10001.Thursday, August 13, 2009 11:24 AM
