  A gentleman who helped the Beatles with a knowing setting for their work (also
  the piano solo for "In My Life," etc.). See his book for lot of anecdotes about
  it.

  RIP George Martin.

  He reached 90 - that's very good going, for a man.

  The world would be a very different place without his influence.

  R.I.P. Mr. Martin

  What a loss to the music world ! I agree Done4good- the music world WILL be a very different place without him. A very cool , gentleman in the greatest sense of the word. He helped turn the Beatles into one of the greatest if not THE greatest music group in modern history. A producer who let the Beatles experiment and make music as they wanted- yet had the courage and balls to help direct them and give advice and direction as they needed. As McCartney stated he truly was like a father to all 4 of the Beatles. Without his direction and influence I doubt the Beatles would have ascended the upper heights of rock and roll history as much as they did in a huge way. Rest in Peace Sir George- you and the Beatles brought us years of joy in the music and will continue to do so - at least for me- forever
