Les Paul was just a name to me till I took up this whole guitar-playing thing. I admire his playing (listened to a CD of it earlier this year). I'd love to listen to it more if I could find it unadulterated by that old-fashioned singing, that grates on your ears after a while. You know, that Andrews-sisters-tight-happy-harmonies thing.
The NY Times dug up a bunch of interesting retrospectives that I've enjoyed: one, a brief account of seeing him play live earlier this year; another, an interview with him about seeing Jimi Hendrix play. He had a long and distinguished career.
Enjoy.
