A truly inventive, creative bass player and groovemeister.
Headhunters started it and "Flood" confirmed that God made him Funky.
Some of the best bass lines ever.
Rest in Peace.

Follow Ups:
I loved his playing. I was lucky enough to catch him with Herbie Hancock & the Head Hunters in the early to mid 70s at Princeton University. This was phenominal band. R.I.P.
As a bass player I was of an era where Jaco was a big influence, and I duly went fretless for several years.
But if there's one bass player I studied and tried to learn from it was Paul. His timing, his choice of notes - he was truly creative within his genre but not in a showy way but a subtle way. I found him "mysterious". How did he choose his notes? They weren't obvious but yet they were so simple and effective. I'll never figure out how his head worked - he was something else.
A lot of my fellow bass players said exactly the same. They revered him and studied everything he played.
no "flash", lots of soul, and a purity of pacing and tone.
Every note seemed logically though almost magically thought out yet completely organic.
