RIP George Martin.
He always came across when interviewed as a really nice man..
He certainly had a great influence on the Beatles in the early days.

This from Paul McCartney upon hearing of George Martin's death.....

I’m so sad to hear the news of the passing of dear George Martin. I have so many wonderful memories of this great man that will be with me forever. He was a true gentleman and like a second father to me. He guided the career of The Beatles with such skill and good humour that he became a true friend to me and my family. If anyone earned the title of the fifth Beatle it was George. From the day that he gave The Beatles our first recording contract, to the last time I saw him, he was the most generous, intelligent and musical person I’ve ever had the pleasure to know.

Pretty much settles the issue.

Love the Beatles !!

Jim

Are you sure you don't have him mixed up with George Harrison? George Martin was their promoter/producer and arranged some of their music. Still significant in the Beatles' career, but not really the "5th Beatle"...... more like the silent 6th.

George Harrison died about 20001 I think. The press called him the 5th Beatle but they also call the keyboard player Bill Preston and some others. George Harrison died from a brain tumor I belive.

RIP George. FYI, he didn't promote just produce, and as the Beatles themselves would say he arranged and guided them into hits and standards.

Yes - major contributor to great music.
