He was 94.
Along with his second wife, Mary Ford, Mr. Paul was one of the biggest stars in music in the early fifties. He sold over ten million records but his biggest contribution was as an inspired musical tinkerer. He was the virtual inventor of multi track recording and introduced the now routine concept of over dubbing.
He didn't invent the solid body electric guitar but he may as well have. He did more to make it popular than any other player and was the first guitarist to exploit such possibilities offered by electrification as feedback and note bending.
