Like many others of my generation, I grew up listening to the music of The Beatles. During those heady days of Beatlemania, it was all about John, Paul, George and Ringo but we gradually came to realise that a great deal of what they achieved on record was down to their producer George Martin.
I firmly believe that without him at the helm, their recordings would have sounded very different and certainly albums like 'Revolver' and 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' would never have come about. For George Martin had the unique ability to understand the sounds that The Beatles wanted to create and he had the musical and technical talent to make it happen. It was a perfect partnership and they were fortunate to find each other.
RIP Sir George, and thank you for all that wonderful music.
