The world was waiting for the sun to rise on Les Paul and Mary Ford, the American husband and wife duo, when their bold use of entirely new recording techniques combined with instrumental and vocal skills unleashed a plethora of sensational hit records in the early 1950s. Les Paul & Mary Ford tried something new and it worked with astonishing effect, as we can hear and enjoy on this 2 CD retrospective collection of their greatest hits and finest performances. The golden couple sold some six millions records in 1951 alone, and that was just the start of their success together.
