One of the truly great men of modern music - as a person, as an innovator and as a performer. No one did more!

If any of you youngsters need a role model, you can do worse than LP. Study what this man did for music. Firey and jammin' right up to the end.

RIP Les. He and Leo Fender were the grandfathers of modern music technology. He will be missed.
