Les Paul - Πώς προφέρεται;

[l_y_c_o_s]

Γεια σας!Έχω μια περίεργη απορία. Πως προφέρεται το "les paul"; Απο την αρχή συνήθισα να το προφέρω "λεσ πολ" αλλά μου φαίνεται ότι είναι λάθος. Ευχαριστώ.

[Απόλλων]

Νομίζω ότι αυτή είναι η σωστή προφορά. Δεν έχω ακούσει κάποια άλλη εκδοχή, εκτός από αυτήν ενός γνωστού μου Γάλλου ο οποίος το πρόφερε "Λε Πωλ" (χωρίς "s")...

[Σιδηρόπουλος]

λες πολ ειναι..

[Ο Νέος Κιθαρωδός]

Είναι Λες Πολ, και είναι συντόμευση του Leslie Paul, τώρα για το ποιος ήταν ο κύριος, ας απαντήσουν κάποιοι άλλοι πιο αρμόδιοι...

Και μην την πείτε ποτέ Λε Πολ (χωρίς το "ς"), γιατί απλούστατα είναι λάθος έτσι!

[Arg0]

Οντως προφερεται Λες Πωλ, αλλα βγαινει απο το Lester Polfus κι οχι το Leslie Paul....

Born Lester Polfus, 9 June 1915, Waukesha, Wisconsin

One of the most important figures in the development of the electric guitar and studio recording techniques. Les Paul worked as a professional musician from his late teens, and was leading his own trio in New York City by the age of 21. After serving with Armed Forces Radio in World War Two, he became a staff musician with NBC radio in Los Angeles. His experimentation with guitars became a frenzy in the late 1940s, building the first solid-body electric guitar in 1946 and releasing a six-way overdub, "Lover," which became a hit for Capitol, as did its flip side, "Brazil." Les Paul's sound was like nothing before it: fast, multi-layered, and deep.

He married the singer Mary Ford (born Colleen Somerset) in 1949, and together they recorded some of the biggest hits of the 1950s: "How High the Moon," "Vaya con Dios," "The World is Waiting for the Sunrise," and "Mockin' Bird Hill." He overdubbed both his guitar work and her vocals, working almost exclusively in his home studio, using an 8-track tape deck he designed and built himself. Paul was a perfectionist, and his recordings sound better today than almost anything coming from major label studios of the same period.

Paul and Ford divorced in 1963, and he retired from recording except for an occasional appearance. He cut a solo (overdub) album for London, "Les Paul Now," in 1968, and a collaboration with Chet Atkins in 1977. He returned to live work in 1984, appearing with a trio in New York City jazz clubs.
