Les Paul dies at 94...

Try listening to CHESTER & LESTER (1977) originally released on vinyl. VINYL?? It's those big black CD's your grandparents listened too.

94 years old and it still seems like he was taken away too soon. For all he accomplished the standard RIP doesn't seem to fit. Tinker for eternity, play without pain, and brighten heaven a little bit more with that endless smile. You're a hero Les.

Sad thing is, he won't get 1/2 the notice that Michael Jackson did...

True, but the real difference is that Les Paul will be remembered with the utmost respect by everyone. Not the case with Michael Jackson.

Rest in Peace, Les. You were the best.

Very well said!

He got about 30 seconds on the Today show... I'm sure most people were like "WHO?" but among guitar players and people who know guitar players, the man was a legend and VERY well-respected.
