Les Paul was an innovative and influential guitarist, but certainly not the "Father of Rock and Roll". There were many artists and groups who contributed, so there is no one "father".The great influences and seminal artists include Johnny Otis and Louis Jordan listed below, and you can certainly make valid arguments in favor of Little Richard and Bill Haley. You must also include Chuck Berry (and his mentor Johnnie Johnson) and The Orioles. If you're looking for the father of R'n'R guitar, don't forget Robert Johnson and the other blues guitarists of the 30's.
Elvis Presley and The Big Bopper don't belong on the list. Nor does Jerry Lee Lewis. And Rockabilly is a blending of R'n'R with country, so no country or Rockabilly artists can be considered as fathers of R'n'R.
