On June 9, 1915, born on this day American guitarist Les Paul, who had a 1953 UK No.7 single with ‘Vaya Con Dios’ and the US No.7 single ‘Hummingbird’ with Mary Ford featuring his multi-layered recording techniques. He also pioneered ‘close miking’ and echo delay recording. He broke his right arm in a car accident and had it set at an angle so he could still play guitar. Paul died in hospital in White Plains, New York at the age of 94 suffering from severe pneumonia on 12 Aug 2009."

Les Paul & Mary Ford Absolutely Live

A VERY rare live television performance by Les Paul and Mary Ford. Most musical performances on TV in the 1950's were Milli Vanilli-esque lip-synched affair...

Thank you my friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the music video of Les Paul and Mary Ford performing "How High The Moon" in 1951 in honor of the fact that on June 9, 1915 American guitarist Les Paul, was born.

"How High The Moon" written Hamilton Nancy / Lewis William M
Lyrics
Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
There is no moon above
When love is far away too
Till it comes true
That you love me as I love you
Somewhere there's music
It's where you are
Somewhere there's heaven
How near, how far
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon
'How high the moon'
Is the name of the song
How high the moon
Though the words may be wrong
We're singing it because you ask for it
So we're singing it just for you
How high the moon
Does it touch the stars
How high the moon
Does it reach out to Mars
Though the words may be wrong to the song
We're asking a high, high, high, high
High is the moon
Though the words may be wrong to the song
We're ought to make high, high, high, high
High is the moon"

One classic Les Paul & Mary Ford song certainly deserves a couple more IMHO
