A pianist that I'm recording worked with Mary Ford after they broke 
up, and heard a lot about Paul from her. Evidently he was(is?) a 
pretty difficult guy to to live and work with, and had a history of 
taking credit for other people's creative work. Doesn't dim the 
brilliance of those early records though, jaw-dropping stuff.
