Sadly many people haven't heard of Les Paul.  In addition to being a great guitarist he is a great innovator and even an inventor.  He invented the solid body electric guitar, thus greatly reducing the problem of feedback on stage.  He also invented the idea of over-dubbing allowing one musician to record many parts for a single work.  Not to mention his innovation of synchronizing a number of recording machines to allow for multi-track recording, thus making mixing after the performance possible.  Modern recordings simply couldn't exist without his vision.
