I respect Mr. Cooke and, of course, remember him from Masterpiece Theater but he should have left the performing to Les Paul & Mary Ford. Les Paul...what a genius! Thanks for posting this piece of TV history!

[@elliothagen9874]

This was a very good video of Les & Mary

[@joevokey1340]

Les Paul, very quick and funny 😆

[@allenjones3130]

Classic 1950s TV! Les was a guitar virtuoso and a master of multitrack recording. 3:28 3:41

[@jarrahtree5130]

That last part was hilarious

[@Phlogiston2312]

This is kinda interesting, especially since it's actually Les Paul

[@enriquecsmccourt]

When multi-track (2`track) recordings appeared in the 50's, the children of musicians remember how their parents told them not to listen to it, that it was an insult to music and a deception.
Imagine them now if they listened to autotune with the AI voice of a dead man.

They just invented Pete Townshend.

[@meesalikeu]

overly chatty and almost bullying interviewer thinks its also about him, but otherwise mary & les were cool.

Alistair almost ruined this piece.... He tried hard to do so.
