Farewell 2016: Producer George Martin by ric Gustafson
In 1962, an EMI record producer named George Martin received a demo tape by an unknown pop group. This group was called the Beatles. He was not impressed by the tape. The four lads from Liverpool to him did have an unusual quality of sound and a certain roughness.
Martin was struck by their sense of humor and he signed the unknown group to a contract. The rest they say is history. With Martin at the helm, between 1962 and 1970 the Beatles made 13 albums and 22 singles. The group and Martin transformed the face of music and culture at large.
George Martin passed away on March 8 in England at the age of 90.
