The inventor of the compact disc was James T. Russell. He invented the CD in 1965. Russell is very often not given credit for his invention because due to a lack of interest on the part of inventors he was never able to capitalize. In the 1980's Philips and Sony saw the potential of the CD and purchased licenses. Today the Philips and Sony companies are often and wrongly given credit for an idea they commercialized on approximately fifteen years after it was invented.
