Guitar legend Les Paul passed away recently in White Plains, N.Y., from complications of pneumonia. He was 94 years old. Paul changed the course of music and helped bring about the rise of rock and roll with the electric guitar and multitrack recording. "Three-time GRAMMY winner Les Paul was a musical mastermind whose innovations in electric guitar and recorded music are unparalleled," said Recording Academy President/CEO Neil Portnow. "A 1983 Trustees Award recipient and a 2001 Technical GRAMMY Award recipient, his career and contributions to popular music will forever be celebrated, and will continue to influence future generations of musicians. His magnetic charm and sunny disposition matched his incredible skill set, and he will always be remembered with great fondness, humility, and respect. The music industry has lost a true innovator and legend." Subscribe NOW to GRAMMYs on YouTube: grm.my/1dTBF8H
