George Martin RIP

Czarivey - very interesting your ranking of John and George vs Paul; but I will not argue your elevation of Sir George in any case.  


Jerroot - Hear! Hear!

The Beatles, fans of The Beatles and fans of popular music are lucky to have known George through the iconic recordings which he produced.
I was fortunate many years ago (before the multipart TV broadcast of The Beatles special) to see George in a production at the Beacon Theater in NYC called "The Making of Sgt. Pepper's" which was part live lecture--part film presentation-- in which George took the audience through the recording process of each song. By now that has been well documented--but back then it was truly a revelation and a thrill to hear it from George himself.
A total class act. RIP George Martin.

I have always had enormous respect for his contribution to Beatles music. If you listen to early, unprocessed Beatles songs they were always catchy. But what we hear today is the result of George Martin's ability to refine their music into the masterpieces we have loved for decades. Thanks, George, for the many hours we have enjoyed listening to their songs.    

Hey what i meant is John was first and George H. was second.
George Martin is 3rd Beatle if you do math.
Ringo and Paul still remain... so who's 4th or 5th we don't know yet.

czarivey...this has nothing to do with who passed away first.  George Martin was commonly referred to as "The 5th Beatle".  Do any research and see for yourself.  Math is easy, if you understand it.
