He shaped his personal brass music group, which aligned having a tradition like a marching music group for funerals and additional functions structured by churches and sociable night clubs.

Among additional music artists who performed for him over time had been clarinettist Dr. Michael White colored and trumpeter Gregg Stafford. Apart from his personal music group, Paulin also used Emile Barnes, with whom he documented in 1960, released on Compact disc in 2002 as Jane’s Alley Six & Doc Paulin’s Music group on American Music Information. In 1996, he documented with six of his sons who maintain their dad’s example using the Paulin Brothers Music group. Paulin is seen briefly on film in Usually For Pleasure (1978).
