He wasn't the only Crescent City bandleader of the period to make his mark on black American music - but as both an artist and a local A&R man for the important De Luxe label, Paul was able to get many legendary artists and musicians into a studio and onto a 78 for the first time ever.  His own trio and big band records for that imprint included many huge sellers that are part of the foundation on with R&B was built.................
