The best thing that happened to the Beatles was being turned down by all the big record companies and ending up with Parlophone and George Martin. Only he could have brought out their latent talent. He surely deserves the title "The Fifth Beatle".
@@stephenreeds3632 George Martin said one of the things that struck him was their irreverent sense of humour. Comedy was one of his specialities at Parlophone so it is easy to see how the five of them "clicked".
I have to RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE, being an expert in music myself. George Martin was the one who was super privileged to have worked with the greatest band in all of music history. The Beatles are and will remain unparalleled in what they have achieved. The most prominent is that they, unknowingly at that time, have resurrected Classical music at the time when it was dying, as the new and MODERNIST classical music composers have thrown out the basic building blocks of DELIGHTFUL MUSIC, namely, melody, rhythm, and harmony, and opted to use INTOLERABLY INSANE ways of composing their music. So the only music that everyone, including the classical music experts, listened to in the late 1950s, was Pop music. But pop music had its limitations, as it was FORMULAIC, meaning, that it was recycling the same chords again and again. Think Elvis Presley, for example. Then God sent mankind the four geniuses known as the Beatles. Although not schooled in Classical music, Paul McCartney studied the styles of Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Handel, etc., and utilized many of their styles. That is why Paul's compositions are all super DELIGHTFUL TO LISTEN TO. And the super-special thing about the Beatles is that they went into super many MUSICAL GENRES that made them hard to catch up to, musically speaking, and which has set them MANY LEAGUES AHEAD from such bands like the Bee Gees, and ABBA, the two bands that the EXPERTS say have achieved the success that is near what the Beatles have achieved. George Martin is a great producer, but the Beatles gave him the songs that catapulted him to extraordinary fame. But he was no pop music composer, much less a singer. Anyone for that matter who worked with the FOUR GENIUSES became famous just by ASSOCIATION with the FAB FOUR known as the Beatles. Let us give credit to whom credit is due. And all credits point towards John, Paul, George, and the best drummer the world has known, as experts agree, Ringo. I hope that his HUMBLE REPLY has enlightened you all, friends, about what the Beatles have achieved. George Martin will be forgotten MANY YEARS after he dies, but, as evidenced by the LINGERING fame of the late John and George, the Beatles' memory and legacy will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN as what they have accomplished is considered by all as UNPARALLELED and CAN NEVER BE EQUALLED. Heads of state, Hollywood celebrities, crooners like Tony Benett, all of today's MUSIC GREATS, from Bono to ABBA and Barry Gibb are just in AWE of the Beatles' 300 HIT SONGS. PEACE AND LOVE TO ALL. God bless us all.

@@antoniosantos4354 I'm glad you delved deeply into the subject. I enjoyed the way you touched on this topic. Respectful, yet firmly entrenched in your own beliefs. You are right in that the Beatles would become who they were regardless of anybody else associated with them , including George Martin. He contributed to the band in many ways as a producer, but his biggest contribution was to let The Beatles be the Beatles. Most producers want to take over a recording session. George Martin went the opposite way giving them so much rope that they could end up hanging themselves. He let them go to insane lengths on creativity such as playing certain instrumental takes backwards, and many other things that most fans know about. The bottom line is that George Martin was the best producer The Beatles could have ever hoped for.
There will never be another combo like George Martin and the Beatles. The universe conspired to give the world the best musical genius in these 5 men!!
Perdón por lo que voy a escribir. Y Dios creo a the Beatles y toco con su indice A GEORGE Martín. He dicho Y a todos nos dio y da felicidad amo y paz. 😂🎉😊😊
There will also never be another kind gentleman who was a good manager to The Beatles like Brian Epstein. Even though he didn't had experience in managing, Brian founded them, gave the boys their iconic look, and had them in a record deal with Parlophone Records. Which is where we get introduced to George Martin himself.
I believe George Martin is solely responsible for the Sgt Pepper album. Yeah, a totally debatable subject. I know that he and John Lennon did not see eye to eye on many of the songs on that album. But, even more than that, what Beatle ever composed a song like Eleanor Rigby or I Am The Walrus and my favorite, She's leaving Home as a solo artist? Granted, Paul did Uncle Albert, and Wings is credited for Live and Let Die, but George Martin is credited for composing the soundtrack, not Wings. Funny, George Martin was famous even BEFORE The Beatles, according to his book, "All You Need is Ears".
Many songs were composed by Lennon-MccArtney... I am the Walrus is not a great song.In the same style Give some truth..She is living Home (Mike Lander arr.) Is a good song..Waterfalls is algo a good song.. And l love her-Bluebird are equally good Back in the Urrs-Jet (Without de Beatles) Maybe Im amazed is a great song.. When Im 64-You gave me the answer Michelle-Junk (Paul play all the instruments) Fixing a hole-One more kiss Why dont we do it on the road-Oh you The long and widing road is not better than My love.. Band on de run,1984,Listen to the Man what said,Silly Love Songs,With a little luck,Mull of Kyntere,Another day,Heart of the country,Too many People Daytime nighttime suffering is not worse than Gettng Better, Hi,Hi,Hi,C Moon.Mrs Vandelbilt, etc... John Lennon: Love,Isolation,Mother,Instant Karma,Jealous guy,Mind Games (on a par with All you need is Love and without The Beatles)Oh my love,Dream9, Stand by me (Good Version) Starting over,Woman,Nobody told me,Whatching the Wheels Mother.. And the same goes f Harrison Out of The Beatles wrote good songs. Martin without The Beatles is not same, Gerry & The Pacemakers,Billy Kramer and The Dakotas,The Fourmost,Edwards Hand.... Cilla Black,América (Good Band) The better Two Albums he produced Blow by Blow and Tug of War... The music he wrote is nothing special..even songs (Billy Kramer,Mary Hopkin) Producers like Martin? Even better...Parsons,Jones,Rubin, Moroder,Visconti... Beatles in 1961-62 were more famous than Martin at the same age..at the end of the 40s begining of 50s famous? He was learning...Dont forget the engineers (Smith-Emerick) Other producers were important in the success of many other bands..Rolling Stones (Oldham/Miller)Dylan(Wilson/Johnstone)Elton John (Dudgeon)Byrds (Melcher) Baker (Queen)Golrich (Radiohead),Thomas (He also produced several Beatles songs)Pretenders..And many others (Who,Cream,Eagles,Doors,Yes, Steely Dan,Moody Blues...etc
The more I hear other people perform Beatles songs, the more impressed I am with their talent, and the more grateful I am that I was old enough when they first arrived to realize that this was something wonderful. I was a senior in high school, and just a few months earlier we’d been devastated by the loss of our young president.
It's been said by some that his assassination was what triggered interest in the Beatles in the USA. "I Want To Hold Your Hand" was released the following day, and the title, if not the song itself, must have resonated with many.
The Beatles were musical geniuses that needed to be shepherded by another genius, and George Martin was as great at producing as the fabs were at writing, singing and playing. His magic was not only what he did, but what he didn't do, which is lord over them. He was among the first collaborative producers, caring less about his authority than a song's greatest good. I never met him and yet I will always miss him.
The Beatles were musical primitives like Dylan and Joni Mitchell, and they admitted that. George Martin arranged their songs, added horns, strings, whatever was needed to make them a commercial success...listen to their early versions of songs and you will understand...
At 73 years old I grew up with the Beatles starting with Ed Sullivan and right on through all those years. They were part of my life and I will never forget them or their music. This man George Martin was the fifth Beatle and he made them even more spectacular than they already were. This time in my life it's very sad to look back and all these beautiful people and artist s that are now gone. But the Beatles and Mr Martin will live on forever R.I.P
I dont think ppl realise how important this man was to the groups he produced in the 60's, esp the Liverpool bands. Although the songs he was given were good, after he added his bits and way he polished them, he made them into great songs. A musical genius. I salute you Sir George 👏 🙏 🙌
Well, I don't Think you, Or I do either, because it is possible that he was not as instrumental as you think. We know what their music was like with his extra production, but John mentioned a few times that often the songs were overproduced. Certainly Lennon songs and some of the McCartney and Harrisonr songs, stand-alone as poetry and would have sounded fantastic with very basic production. But as things stand, he definitely had a great effect on the music sounding as fantastic as it did, but I would argue that it would have sounded fantastic anyway, but in a different way
@@Rowlph8888I have heard the recording of what was told to be the "Basic, Beatles tapes" (I do think it had been somewhat edited?) and it sounds really "flat"!! Not much like the final versions. So George Martin certainly added a lot to those tapes! And when the Beatles asked for better recording equipment in the Abbey Road Studio, they of course also got that!
@@Rowlph8888 We’ll never know about what would have been under or un-produced, or raw, classically, pure or acoustically simple, although we have some material examples about it, but it was then and there; but here, there, everywhere and most importantly now, we can swear it was never 'overproduced’ by him, Martin, no overkill whatsoever. In fact it was the penultimate sessions they ever had, that they did without him, in what became "Let it be”; where they pursuit the evolution of the Motown legacy through Phil Spector ("wall of sound”) that George, John, Paul said, and I bet even Ringo thought, it was literally "over-produced” and didn’t 'nailed’ or 'killed it’ . . . Ironically it didn’t let it be, naked . . . The man, Spector, was way above his head, by then, and so forth, not over his heart… in the road of becoming something else, paranoia, self destroyer, even worse self, a little yellow alcoholic man in his head. Besides the gun weapons’ personal tragedy, and happening . . .or beyond, or before it, there’s this very lousy affair with Lennon’s harder period of his lifetime, where Phil just had a humongous egotistical trip, and literally waisted the whole first recordings of John’s versions of Rockabilly classics tribute; that he had to start from scratch all over again for his most criticized work, still a blockbuster’s seller, sadly badly titled, Rock’n’roll. So, in the end, the humility you have, is the humbleness you balanced with, for yourself. To carry on, a long time, carrying that weight, that movement that you needed, on your shoulders
John had many complaints along the years about their studio work, yes, but as far as I remember he only meant Paul’s ideas for recording treatments turned too artificial or plastic in texture, which spilled the milk all over… And he did tell G. Martin several times he would redo recordings for every song of him, even strawberry fields, George comments, but as years went by, John became more accepting of his self, and his evolution as a man, from a violent male macho youngster, a drug addict, to a pace within seeker, parallel to his fellow mates and many of us, and less idealistically perfectionist . . . Anyhow, subjectively conscious, to me George was a true authentic medieval alchemist ,looking for the philosophers’ stone . . .
I don't know why everyone is being so negative. It's music, it's for everyone to enjoy. If you don't like it fine, but you don't have to be so nasty about it.
John Watson: what you are dealing with are musical fundamentalists. Beatles music should only, ever, be rendered by the Beatles, live or not. They forget that The Beatles called in session musicians to play on their tracks (Billy Preston, Eric Clapton, Claus Voorman, Jim Keltner, Bobby Keyes) during the fab four days AND obviously in their solo careers. Then again, perhaps some people need have some musical training to understand that the same musicians need not be used, AND different versions of a song can be used to great effect. I think this recording looks like it will be well worth a few bucks!
JC, yes the Beatles had other musicians play on some of their music, but it wasn't as frequent as I get the sense you are suggesting. Clapton played on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps " but George Harrison played on the Cream song "Badge." They played the circuit in Germany for years, before they were discovered. When they do play like on "Revolution," the video they did actually playing it, is not bad! John may have been an average guitarist, but his song writing ability was amazing! Not just the music, but the lyrics! Paul is a good musician, also a phenomenal song writer, and an excellent singer! The Beatles had their own sound, and the were the biggest music act in history! Many of the other British bands built their music on the American, black Blues greats! The stones, Clapton-The Cream, Zeppelin, and others used some of the Blues numbers and were able to Rock it out, and make what once sounded simple, into a powerful amped up version! The electric guitar didn't become available until the early 50's and the technology didn't really start taking off until like 1965/66. shy Peppers was recorded on a 4 track system! The musicians they brought in was not because they were inferior musicians, but because they needed a certain sound, and probably respected the musicians they brought in to play on their songs! I only know of Clapton playing on they one song of George Harrison's, who by the way, I heard Clapton once say, Harrison was the best guitarist in Rock! Clapton thought Robert Johnson was the best Blues Guitarist ever! Anyway, whomever knocks the Beatles, I would like to see them write so many--not just hits- but beautiful music with lyrics that were never redundant, or seemed forced! Not even the Stones, all things considered, came close to the Fab 4! I love the Stones, and I think they were the number two Rock band of the 60's! We mill never see another band quite like the Beatles! The world back then with psychedelics, war, the civil rights movement; the mass exercising of liberties on College Campuses; assassination of at least least three great historical figures! Art, woman's lib, Gay lib, and the list goes on as these factors contributed to the music of that generation! It was groovy to grow up at that time! ;-)
Taylor Lynn Emmy Lou Harris does a wonderful version of Here, There and Everywhere in the Seventies but Celine Dion covering this? Sad. I can see the logic of George Martin's choices here but if you're wondering about the negativity, well this is the Beatles we're talking about. Some frivolity is easier to take for me but the wildly overated Phil Collins and his triumph cough on Golden Slumbers well...yuch.
Taylor Lynn I don't want to read the negative comments you are replying to. The music of the Beatles is too large to deny it to others artists to interpret .. They like us had an emotional and intellectual reaction to listening to the Beatles music. Mr. Martin was not only there but contributed to the music. What he did here you can't criticise. He is keeping the magic alive by sharing to new generations and people. John and George wanted it to be this way. I'm sure Richard is on side also.
I'd say he took a great band and helped to raise them to the greatest band of all time. These new versions are wonderful but not in the same class as the originals. He needed them as much as they needed him. Without the Beatles how many people would have even heard of him ?
I wouldn't say George Martin necessarily made The Beatles great. What I would say is The Beatles were undeniably great, there's no disputing that. What I also prefer to say is George Martin's amazing skill set allowed them to be as great as they could possibly be.
The Beatles would of been great without George Martin but he helped articulate with orchestral strings sections & studio sounds the music the Beatles wanted to make .George had the classical background & training the Beatles did not .No doubt he had a dramatic effect on their sound but they were & would of been still great without him ,in my opinion .
@@lepanhman yeah and somebody (other producer) would've probably screwed up their progression, experimentation and growth in such a few short years....63 - 69.
The planet is getting dimmer as we say goodbye to a generation that we will never see the likes of again, but hopefully Heaven is becoming richer for it. George Martin brought genius and dignity to everything he touched.
I started watching this and couldn't stop. And in reality, they barely touched the Beatles catalog. It's like an entire century of music came through the Beatles in a few short years.
At 60 years old now I can only say what a great benefit it's been to grow up with the Beatles. I remember just being a little kid and crowding into the theatre to watch the fab four to see "A Hard Days Night". Years later I found myself immersed in these great musicians and melodies of Abbey Road. As I look back it was a short and sweet time of musical genius. No one to this day has come close to the music they made.
paul newsome ......you are soright paul ....The Beatles really did change the world musically, ....I can't imagine my life without their music, now that I'm 71yrs old......and each time I listen to them it takes me back to those days of my youth.....
i’m just ur age now paul & i first listened to their abbey road music via a cassette tape with a recorder/player from a classmate who has a US Navy brother in the US that time & we were in our 2nd Year High School in a small town in a far flung province of the Philippines but it did not hinder our economic & social situation coz it did just ignited d little hidden musical gift in me & started developing it on a personal level & modesty aside, i can almost play with an acoustic guitar all the beatles song ‘til now as we speak..thats how the legacy was ingrained to the foursome by their mentor which in turns the group cascaded it globally & still is..RIP sir GM & for sure ur happy reunited with john & george now..thank you for the music...
Now 71 and it is still the soundtrack to so much of my life. The early work was rough and ready, and yet even then they had an approach which included so many styles and a great wad of classical music. Visiting Durness where John spent many weeks with his aunt after his mother was killed was so poignont. A good note to end this video...
Sadly, no one secular ever will come close to their talent and brilliance ever again. The Beatles breaking up is comparable to the Titanic sinking... I leave it to you to apply the comparisons.
George Martin was so brilliant. It was so cool seeing Bobby McFerrin and Robin Williams showing their talents on "Come Together". And, when I saw Goldie Hawn working her magic on "A Hard Day's Night" I thought she was so great! I don't think I had heard her sing before, so she's obviously a multi-talented lady! Thanks for posting this excellent video!
@@banmadabon no for this I don't think he would have. For one Phil is a bigger Beatles fan and secondly Peter Gabriel does his songs way different from how the Beatles built them up. And of course for the drum part Phil did an amazing job. They're both amazing musicians but for this I think Phil was the right choice.
That bit at the end where he solemnly plays In My Life on the piano got me a bit emotional. The story of The Beatles is such an inspirational one, one with many emotions, many highs, and many lows. I will always be convinced that George Martin was the one true fifth Beatle. May he rest in peace.
I really think George Martin and his ideas were responsible for making the Beatles as magical as they were. He came up with an immense amount of very significant things on the recordings that most people aren’t aware of. It’s true that no one can touch the Beatles and what they accomplished, but they wouldn’t have accomplished what they did without George Martin. No way.
George Martin is spectacular and this whole bit of wonder is a delight. I could listen to his elegant, distilled explanations, insights, expertise and quiet delivery all night long. This is going to be something I return to again and again because mastery at this level is affirming and rare. (and it's charming and funny and well-done. As many have said, without Sir George, we would have no Beatles; inspired and a perfect proof of the power of artistic collaboration.
What a great tribute not only to the Beatles, but for George. George was, without a doubt, the driving influence for the technical aspect of the Beatles. He brought the ideas they had in their minds to life like no one else could have done. I didn't know Goldie could sing, but she stole the show with her version.
Wow, for me, this is a rare video of George Martin doing something very personal and special for himself and expressing it through his talented professional famous buddies, doing Beatles songs the way he visualizes it in his own professional producing way and styling. George Martin was really a 5th Beatle in disguise and in a sense.
Calling "Here Comes The Sun" a "lovely tune" is the understatement of the century but still it was a fantastic testament to George Harrisons writing ability that such a talented well schooled classical musician was so impressed and glad to record a version of it. And with the bonus of George Martin producing and conducting it is really the utmost honor.
To me you were a true 'English Gentleman'. Always dignified. And then that graceful, beautiful voice. Thank you for all the beauty you gave to the world. Will remember you forever. My deepest condolences to those people who knew you closely and loved you the most. R.I.P. Mr. Martin
Absolutely amazing!!! The most enjoyable & beautiful listening I have ever heard & listened to!! George Martin........what a wonderful soul! He was incredibly talented & nobody should underestimate his contribution to the success of the Beatles!! They were very lucky to learn from each other & to have each other in music & friendship!!!
The people George chose to do these different songs did surprise me at times, but they did pull them off with characteristic success and flair. What an ear he has.
I have heard a lot of women singers in my 62 years folks. but when I hear Celine Dion I cry. her voice is like a band of Angels singing. she is every women's voice I have ever heard put into one. Perfection. her vocal range is just out of this world ungodly. let alone simply Gorgeous too go along with that voice. and George Martin is a musical Genius. R.I.P. Sir. George Martin.
Agreed, but without the persistense of Beatles manager Brian Epstein, there's 99.9% chance that Sir George would have n ever even heard of the beatles. They were not prolific players and he was.
I do declare that That George Martin is the father of Modern classical music, he took his experience in classical music and turned it into many Beatles music in a very unusual clever of ways.
I just listened to Phil Collins do "Golden Slumbers". WOW! I was a teenager listening to this in South Carolina in the 60's, and I was blown away. Can you image if you were in England (Phil) living this and being able to do this with George Martin all these years later. What a moment.
It's on certain Beatles songs that George Martin's presence is essential. Nobody else would have known where to start with a song like 'Yellow Submarine', the American rock producers of the era would have been scratching their heads wondering what the hell a Goon Show was. Then there's the orchestrations and layered effects of the Pepper era. He didn't make the band but he was essential to it in the studio.
Als das Making-of dieses Albums im Fernsehen kam, lauerte ich in den Startlöchern, um an dieses Album ranzukommen, und ich habe es NIE bereut. George Martin hat sich einiges getraut, und das Album ist Spitze. Goldie Hawns verjazzte Version von "A hard day's night" ist Zucker. Unbedingt hören! Ein Kollege, dem ich die CD dem lieh, hat sie sich anschließend auch gekauft. Ein Geniestreich!
I first heard a Beatles song as a 8 yo boy. Here I am at 68 still listening and enjoying their music. I think it gets better and Paul is still performing and sounding as good as ever.
He’s an elegant, articulate gentleman with a dry sense of humor. Perfect for the Beatles. I’m so pleased they filmed his last album which gives one insights into how he works and worked with the Beatles songs. I always wanted to see them working their magic in the studio. Thanks!
For me, the highlight is listening to John Williams playing "Here Comes The Sun" -- just by himself, before the orchestra joins in. Fantastic!! (It's also fun to listen to Robin Williams being Robin Williams -- RIP Funny man!)
The best thing that happened to the Beatles was being turned down by all the big record companies and ending up with Parlophone and George Martin. Only he could have brought out their latent talent. He surely deserves the title "The Fifth Beatle".
Decca decided that guitar bands wouldn't last! They signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead. Parlophone recorded comedy records. Serendipity.
@David Miller, I have ALWAYS said that Sir George Martin is the ONLY one who deservers to be called "The Fifth Beatle" ABSOLUTELY!!
@@stephenreeds3632 George Martin said one of the things that struck him was their irreverent sense of humour. Comedy was one of his specialities at Parlophone so it is easy to see how the five of them "clicked".
He didn't bring anything out.
Think of a classically trained musician and producer who also produced comedy records. What are the odds his background would be the perfect fit!
The Beatles were so fortunate to run across a man like this.
I AGREE. WITOUT HIM, THERE WOULD NOT HAVE THE BEATLES
No one better than George Martin!! I was fortunate enough to see him in Dallas at Paul's concert
I have to RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE, being an expert in music myself.
George Martin was the one who was super privileged to have worked with the greatest band in all of music history. The Beatles are and will remain unparalleled in what they have achieved. The most prominent is that they, unknowingly at that time, have resurrected Classical music at the time when it was dying, as the new and MODERNIST classical music composers have thrown out the basic building blocks of DELIGHTFUL MUSIC, namely, melody, rhythm, and harmony, and opted to use INTOLERABLY INSANE ways of composing their music.
So the only music that everyone, including the classical music experts, listened to in the late 1950s, was Pop music. But pop music had its limitations, as it was FORMULAIC, meaning, that it was recycling the same chords again and again. Think Elvis Presley, for example. Then God sent mankind the four geniuses known as the Beatles.
Although not schooled in Classical music, Paul McCartney studied the styles of Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Handel, etc., and utilized many of their styles. That is why Paul's compositions are all super DELIGHTFUL TO LISTEN TO.
And the super-special thing about the Beatles is that they went into super many MUSICAL GENRES that made them hard to catch up to, musically speaking, and which has set them MANY LEAGUES AHEAD from such bands like the Bee Gees, and ABBA, the two bands that the EXPERTS say have achieved the success that is near what the Beatles have achieved.
George Martin is a great producer, but the Beatles gave him the songs that catapulted him to extraordinary fame. But he was no pop music composer, much less a singer.
Anyone for that matter who worked with the FOUR GENIUSES became famous just by ASSOCIATION with the FAB FOUR known as the Beatles.
Let us give credit to whom credit is due. And all credits point towards John, Paul, George, and the best drummer the world has known, as experts agree, Ringo.
I hope that his HUMBLE REPLY has enlightened you all, friends, about what the Beatles have achieved. George Martin will be forgotten MANY YEARS after he dies, but, as evidenced by the LINGERING fame of the late John and George, the Beatles' memory and legacy will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN as what they have accomplished is considered by all as UNPARALLELED and CAN NEVER BE EQUALLED. Heads of state, Hollywood celebrities, crooners like Tony Benett, all of today's MUSIC GREATS, from Bono to ABBA and Barry Gibb are just in AWE of the Beatles' 300 HIT SONGS. PEACE AND LOVE TO ALL.
God bless us all.

The bottom line is that George Martin was the best producer The Beatles could have ever hoped for.
There will never be another combo like George Martin and the Beatles. The universe conspired to give the world the best musical genius in these 5 men!!
Perdón por lo que voy a escribir.
Y Dios creo a the Beatles y toco con su indice A GEORGE Martín.
He dicho
Y a todos nos dio y da felicidad amo y paz. 😂🎉😊😊
😅😅Here Comes The SUN. Que hermosa composición, maravillosa. GRACIA GEORGE H. AND G. Martín. Seguramente en el cielo compartiendo con ángeles. 😊😂❤
There will also never be another kind gentleman who was a good manager to The Beatles like Brian Epstein. Even though he didn't had experience in managing, Brian founded them, gave the boys their iconic look, and had them in a record deal with Parlophone Records. Which is where we get introduced to George Martin himself.
I think George Martin deserves very much credit for the beauty in many of the Beatles songs.
Do you also think water is wet?
Actually Geoff Emerick deserves as much credit
@@beaujeste1 Emerick deserves a lot of credit, but not as much as Martin.
I believe George Martin is solely responsible for the Sgt Pepper album. Yeah, a totally debatable subject. I know that he and John Lennon did not see eye to eye on many of the songs on that album. But, even more than that, what Beatle ever composed a song like Eleanor Rigby or I Am The Walrus and my favorite, She's leaving Home as a solo artist? Granted, Paul did Uncle Albert, and Wings is credited for Live and Let Die, but George Martin is credited for composing the soundtrack, not Wings. Funny, George Martin was famous even BEFORE The Beatles, according to his book, "All You Need is Ears".
Many songs were composed by Lennon-MccArtney...
I am the Walrus is not a great song.In the same style Give some truth..She is living Home
(Mike Lander arr.) Is a good song..Waterfalls is algo a good
song..
And l love her-Bluebird are equally good
Back in the Urrs-Jet

Maybe Im amazed is a great song..
When Im 64-You gave me the answer
Michelle-Junk (Paul play all the instruments)

The long and widing road is not

Out of The Beatles wrote good songs.
Martin without The Beatles is not same,
Gerry & The Pacemakers,Billy Kramer and The Dakotas,The Fourmost,Edwards Hand....
Cilla Black,América (Good Band)
The better Two Albums he produced Blow by Blow and Tug of War...
The music he wrote is nothing special..even songs (Billy Kramer,Mary Hopkin)
Producers like Martin?
Even better...Parsons,Jones,Rubin,
Moroder,Visconti...
Beatles in 1961-62 were more famous than Martin at the same age..at the end of the 40s begining of 50s famous?
He was learning...Dont forget the engineers (Smith-Emerick)
Other producers were important in the success of many other bands..Rolling Stones (Oldham/Miller)Dylan(Wilson/Johnstone)Elton John (Dudgeon)Byrds (Melcher)
Baker (Queen)Golrich (Radiohead),Thomas (He also produced several Beatles songs)Pretenders..And many others (Who,Cream,Eagles,Doors,Yes,
Steely Dan,Moody Blues...etc
The more I hear other people perform Beatles songs, the more impressed I am with their talent, and the more grateful I am that I was old enough when they first arrived to realize that this was something wonderful. I was a senior in high school, and just a few months earlier we’d been devastated by the loss of our young president.
It's been said by some that his assassination was what triggered interest in the Beatles in the USA. "I Want To Hold Your Hand" was released the following day, and the title, if not the song itself, must have resonated with many.
The pop music-loving world owes more to George Martin than any other single individual. Yeah, it is so.
Yeah, sure. Ok 🙄
RIP George Martin. The true fifth Beatle.
Diego he lived a good life
He wished
who are the other candidates?
No, the FIRST!
@@Talisman09 The other serious candidates are Brian Epstein, Pete Best, Stuart Sutcliffe and Billy Preston.
But it'll always be George Martin.
R.I.P Sir George Martin.
A genius of music.
George Martin. A master musician, producer, and visionary.
The Beatles were musical geniuses that needed to be shepherded by another genius, and George Martin was as great at producing as the fabs were at writing, singing and playing. His magic was not only what he did, but what he didn't do, which is lord over them. He was among the first collaborative producers, caring less about his authority than a song's greatest good. I never met him and yet I will always miss him.
He was so graceful and gentle.
Very well said Jeff
I fully agree
Lovely Words...:)
The Beatles were musical primitives like Dylan and Joni Mitchell, and they admitted that. George Martin arranged their songs, added horns, strings, whatever was needed to make them a commercial success...listen to their early versions of songs and you will understand...
The World would be a darker place than it is without Sir George Martin. We truly need more like him.
At 73 years old I grew up with the Beatles starting with Ed Sullivan and right on through all those years. They were part of my life and I will never forget them or their music. This man George Martin was the fifth Beatle and he made them even more spectacular than they already were. This time in my life it's very sad to look back and all these beautiful people and artist s that are now gone. But the Beatles and Mr Martin will live on forever R.I.P
I remember the Ed Sullivan introduction of the Beatles seen on our black and white Philco television.
Take a sad song, and make it better. And you did, and them some. Thank you Sir George Martin. Rest In Peace.
Thank you Sir
I dont think ppl realise how important this man was to the groups he produced in the 60's, esp the Liverpool bands. Although the songs he was given were good, after he added his bits and way he polished them, he made them into great songs. A musical genius. I salute you Sir George 👏 🙏 🙌
The Merseybeat
Well, I don't Think you, Or I do either, because it is possible that he was not as instrumental as you think. We know what their music was like with his extra production, but John mentioned a few times that often the songs were overproduced. Certainly Lennon songs and some of the McCartney and Harrisonr songs, stand-alone as poetry and would have sounded fantastic with very basic production. But as things stand, he definitely had a great effect on the music sounding as fantastic as it did, but I would argue that it would have sounded fantastic anyway, but in a different way
@@Rowlph8888I have heard the recording of what was told to be the "Basic, Beatles tapes" (I do think it had been somewhat edited?) and it sounds really "flat"!! Not much like the final versions. So George Martin certainly added a lot to those tapes! And when the Beatles asked for better recording equipment in the Abbey Road Studio, they of course also got that!
@@Rowlph8888 We’ll never know about what would have been under or un-produced, or raw, classically, pure or acoustically simple, although we have some material examples about it, but it was then and there; but here, there, everywhere and most importantly now, we can swear it was never 'overproduced’ by him, Martin, no overkill whatsoever. In fact it was the penultimate sessions they ever had, that they did without him, in what became "Let it be”; where they pursuit the evolution of the Motown legacy through Phil Spector ("wall of sound”) that George, John, Paul said, and I bet even Ringo thought, it was literally "over-produced” and didn’t 'nailed’ or 'killed it’ . . .
Ironically it didn’t let it be, naked . . . The man, Spector, was way above his head, by then, and so forth, not over his heart… in the road of becoming something else, paranoia, self destroyer, even worse self, a little yellow alcoholic man in his head. Besides the gun weapons’ personal tragedy, and happening . . .or beyond, or before it, there’s this very lousy affair with Lennon’s harder period of his lifetime, where Phil just had a humongous egotistical trip, and literally waisted the whole first recordings of John’s versions of Rockabilly classics tribute; that he had to start from scratch all over again for his most criticized work, still a blockbuster’s seller, sadly badly titled, Rock’n’roll.
So, in the end, the humility you have, is the humbleness you balanced with, for yourself. To carry on, a long time, carrying that weight, that movement that you needed, on your shoulders
John had many complaints along the years about their studio work, yes, but as far as I remember he only meant Paul’s ideas for recording treatments turned too artificial or plastic in texture, which spilled the milk all over… And he did tell G. Martin several times he would redo recordings for every song of him, even strawberry fields, George comments, but as years went by, John became more accepting of his self, and his evolution as a man, from a violent male macho youngster, a drug addict, to a pace within seeker, parallel to his fellow mates and many of us, and less idealistically perfectionist . . . Anyhow, subjectively conscious, to me George was a true authentic medieval alchemist ,looking for the philosophers’ stone . . .
What a guy George Martin was… so delicate, so wise and so humble… real genius!!!
I see him as a wonderful musical engineer.
Thank you, George. Your artistry has made my life so much richer.
I don't know why everyone is being so negative. It's music, it's for everyone to enjoy. If you don't like it fine, but you don't have to be so nasty about it.
John Watson: what you are dealing with are musical fundamentalists. Beatles music should only, ever, be rendered by the Beatles, live or not. They forget that The Beatles called in session musicians to play on their tracks (Billy Preston, Eric Clapton, Claus Voorman, Jim Keltner, Bobby Keyes) during the fab four days AND obviously in their solo careers. Then again, perhaps some people need have some musical training to understand that the same musicians need not be used, AND different versions of a song can be used to great effect. I think this recording looks like it will be well worth a few bucks!
John Watson fan
People are being nasty?
I think this sounds great!
(the instrumental portions especially)
JC, yes the Beatles had other musicians play on some of their music, but it wasn't as frequent as I get the sense you are suggesting. Clapton played on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps " but George Harrison played on the Cream song "Badge." They played the circuit in Germany for years, before they were discovered. When they do play like on "Revolution," the video they did actually playing it, is not bad! John may have been an average guitarist, but his song writing ability was amazing! Not just the music, but the lyrics! Paul is a good musician, also a phenomenal song writer, and an excellent singer! The Beatles had their own sound, and the were the biggest music act in history! Many of the other British bands built their music on the American, black Blues greats! The stones, Clapton-The Cream, Zeppelin, and others used some of the Blues numbers and were able to Rock it out, and make what once sounded simple, into a powerful amped up version! The electric guitar didn't become available until the early 50's and the technology didn't really start taking off until like 1965/66. shy Peppers was recorded on a 4 track system! The musicians they brought in was not because they were inferior musicians, but because they needed a certain sound, and probably respected the musicians they brought in to play on their songs! I only know of Clapton playing on they one song of George Harrison's, who by the way, I heard Clapton once say, Harrison was the best guitarist in Rock! Clapton thought Robert Johnson was the best Blues Guitarist ever! Anyway, whomever knocks the Beatles, I would like to see them write so many--not just hits- but beautiful music with lyrics that were never redundant, or seemed forced! Not even the Stones, all things considered, came close to the Fab 4! I love the Stones, and I think they were the number two Rock band of the 60's! We mill never see another band quite like the Beatles! The world back then with psychedelics, war, the civil rights movement; the mass exercising of liberties on College Campuses; assassination of at least least three great historical figures! Art, woman's lib, Gay lib, and the list goes on as these factors contributed to the music of that generation! It was groovy to grow up at that time! ;-)
Taylor Lynn Emmy Lou Harris does a wonderful version of Here, There and Everywhere in the Seventies but Celine Dion covering this? Sad. I can see the logic of George Martin's choices here but if you're wondering about the negativity, well this is the Beatles we're talking about. Some frivolity is easier to take for me but the wildly overated Phil Collins and his triumph cough on Golden Slumbers well...yuch.
Taylor Lynn I don't want to read the negative comments you are replying to. The music of the Beatles is too large to deny it to others artists to interpret .. They like us had an emotional and intellectual reaction to listening to the Beatles music. Mr. Martin was not only there but contributed to the music. What he did here you can't criticise. He is keeping the magic alive by sharing to new generations and people. John and George wanted it to be this way. I'm sure Richard is on side also.
Phil Collings can drum wow what a touch.
It's what he does
He took a very good band and made them great. He was a musical mentor of the Beatles in his life. A great tree has fallen.
I'd say he took a great band and helped to raise them to the greatest band of all time. These new versions are wonderful but not in the same class as the originals. He needed them as much as they needed him. Without the Beatles how many people would have even heard of him ?
I wouldn't say George Martin necessarily made The Beatles great. What I would say is The Beatles were undeniably great, there's no disputing that. What I also prefer to say is George Martin's amazing skill set allowed them to be as great as they could possibly be.
The Beatles would of been great without George Martin but he helped articulate with orchestral strings sections & studio sounds the music the Beatles wanted to make .George had the classical background & training the Beatles did not .No doubt he had a dramatic effect on their sound but they were & would of been still great without him ,in my opinion .
@@lepanhman yeah and somebody (other producer) would've probably screwed up their progression, experimentation and growth in such a few short years....63 - 69.
But it leaves many saplings
A wonderfull Hommage to the The Beatles and George Martin!
Homage.
The planet is getting dimmer as we say goodbye to a generation that we will never see the likes of again, but hopefully Heaven is becoming richer for it. George Martin brought genius and dignity to everything he touched.
Great work George.Martin..
Your.simply.the.best.producer.ever hands down...God.Bless.Ya

I started watching this and couldn't stop. And in reality, they barely touched the Beatles catalog. It's like an entire century of music came through the Beatles in a few short years.
At 60 years old now I can only say what a great benefit it's been to grow up with the Beatles. I remember just being a little kid and crowding into the theatre to watch the fab four to see "A Hard Days Night". Years later I found myself immersed in these great musicians and melodies of Abbey Road. As I look back it was a short and sweet time of musical genius. No one to this day has come close to the music they made.
paul newsome ......you are soright paul ....The Beatles really did change the world musically, ....I can't imagine my life without their music, now that I'm 71yrs old......and each time I listen to them it takes me back to those days of my youth.....
i’m just ur age now paul & i first listened to their abbey road music via a cassette tape with a recorder/player from a classmate who has a US Navy brother in the US that time & we were in our 2nd Year High School in a small town in a far flung province of the Philippines but it did not hinder our economic & social situation coz it did just ignited d little hidden musical gift in me & started developing it on a personal level & modesty aside, i can almost play with an acoustic guitar all the beatles song ‘til now as we speak..thats how the legacy was ingrained to the foursome by their mentor which in turns the group cascaded it globally & still is..RIP sir GM & for sure ur happy reunited with john & george now..thank you for the music...
Now 71 and it is still the soundtrack to so much of my life. The early work was rough and ready, and yet even then they had an approach which included so many styles and a great wad of classical music. Visiting Durness where John spent many weeks with his aunt after his mother was killed was so poignont. A good note to end this video...
Sadly, no one secular ever will come close to their talent and brilliance ever again. The Beatles breaking up is comparable to the Titanic sinking... I leave it to you to apply the comparisons.
George Martin was so brilliant. It was so cool seeing Bobby McFerrin and Robin Williams showing their talents on "Come Together". And, when I saw Goldie Hawn working her magic on "A Hard Day's Night" I thought she was so great! I don't think I had heard her sing before, so she's obviously a multi-talented lady! Thanks for posting this excellent video!
You will be missed George: the greatest and coolest producer to ever live. RIP

Phil Collin's rendition of Golden Slumbers is a jewel.
Peter Gabriel would have been better ...
@@banmadabon as a musician, Phil Collins is far better. Why he wasted so many years with children music is unkown to me.
@@krollpeter what children music?
@@banmadabon no for this I don't think he would have. For one Phil is a bigger Beatles fan and secondly Peter Gabriel does his songs way different from how the Beatles built them up. And of course for the drum part Phil did an amazing job. They're both amazing musicians but for this I think Phil was the right choice.
Was that as far as you got up to?
Music that will last forever..... Thank You.
That bit at the end where he solemnly plays In My Life on the piano got me a bit emotional. The story of The Beatles is such an inspirational one, one with many emotions, many highs, and many lows. I will always be convinced that George Martin was the one true fifth Beatle. May he rest in peace.
I really think George Martin and his ideas were responsible for making the Beatles as magical as they were. He came up with an immense amount of very significant things on the recordings that most people aren’t aware of. It’s true that no one can touch the Beatles and what they accomplished, but they wouldn’t have accomplished what they did without George Martin. No way.
George Martin is spectacular and this whole bit of wonder is a delight. I could listen to his elegant, distilled explanations, insights, expertise and quiet delivery all night long. This is going to be something I return to again and again because mastery at this level is affirming and rare. (and it's charming and funny and well-done. As many have said, without Sir George, we would have no Beatles; inspired and a perfect proof of the power of artistic collaboration.
This is a great man. He saw in them what others could not see. He saw them as musical geniuses.
Sir George Martin, brilliant. Dear Universe, he's gone now, can you send us another, please.
Gay fucking songs. Paul's songs are embarrassing.. I agree with Cobain

What a great tribute not only to the Beatles, but for George. George was, without a doubt, the driving influence for the technical aspect of the Beatles. He brought the ideas they had in their minds to life like no one else could have done. I didn't know Goldie could sing, but she stole the show with her version.
Beatles....The Beatles are the modern classical music" - Jim Carrey
Phil Collins has a unique voice and definitely stretched his range and without cracking!
Martin's solo piano at the end is the most moving part of a nice vid.
+Jeff Moore Agreed !!! Look at other UA-cam covers and his has so much emotion, and a beautiful tone, and touch
Wow, for me, this is a rare video of George Martin doing something very personal and special for himself and expressing it through his talented professional famous buddies, doing Beatles songs the way he visualizes it in his own professional producing way and styling. George Martin was really a 5th Beatle in disguise and in a sense.
Robin reuniting with Bobby just brings tears to my eyes.
We have lost some lovely, gifted people. What a blessing to have George and Robin on here.
Calling "Here Comes The Sun" a "lovely tune" is the understatement of the century but still it was a fantastic testament to George Harrisons writing ability that such a talented well schooled classical musician was so impressed and glad to record a version of it. And with the bonus of George Martin producing and conducting it is really the utmost honor.
The classical guitarist didn't use a capo nor a pick like George did. It made the guitarparts weaker in my opinion.
This whole thing is just adorable, and i had a huge smile on my face throughout this. Especially while he was flirting with Goldie Hawn 😂
All the guest stars ,one word.......BRILLIANT.
Thanks George you gave 1000% in the booth and turned out some Hall of Famers RIP
To me you were a true 'English Gentleman'. Always dignified. And then that graceful, beautiful voice. Thank you for all the beauty you gave to the world. Will remember you forever. My deepest condolences to those people who knew you closely and loved you the most. R.I.P. Mr. Martin
Here there & Everywhere - beautiful. Celine Dion's voice - marvellous. Together - sublime.
silly love song
its amazing to know the Universe put those 5 heads together out of mere coincidence. They changed the world forever.
Absolutely amazing!!! The most enjoyable & beautiful listening I have ever heard & listened to!! George Martin........what a wonderful soul! He was incredibly talented & nobody should underestimate his contribution to the success of the Beatles!! They were very lucky to learn from each other & to have each other in music & friendship!!!
Phil killed it on Golden Slumbers sang it with equal passion even though I was not a Genesis fan.
If you mean "murdered it" then you would be correct.
How can we not have been a fan of Genesis?? Try again! (Peter Gab period)
Then you should be, one of the best bands in the world.
Came back to watch again. So glad YT didn't take it down! Love this!!!
The people George chose to do these different songs did surprise me at times, but they did pull them off with characteristic success and flair.
What an ear he has.
What a mind he has
I swear every time I hear 'Here There And Everywhere' my heart aches then It melts away into bliss.
I have heard a lot of women singers in my 62 years folks. but when I hear Celine Dion I cry. her voice is like a band of Angels singing. she is every women's voice I have ever heard put into one. Perfection. her vocal range is just out of this world ungodly. let alone simply Gorgeous too go along with that voice. and George Martin is a musical Genius. R.I.P. Sir. George Martin.
George Martin-deffinately the best producer for the best band. A marriage made in heaven ✌
I cannot believe this was TWENTY years ago. OMG.

5:14 When George starts singing, my gosh that was so touching! 😭 Have to find this album now!
Rest in Peace George .... You touched every one of us
Wow, Goldie Hawn is very attractive and her voice was very sultry and jazzy. I really liked what she and George did with the song.
A wonderful talented gentle man who made sure four lads from Liverpool shook the world. Thankyou George and may you rest in piece.
Agreed, but without the persistense of Beatles manager Brian Epstein, there's 99.9% chance that Sir George would have n ever even heard of the beatles. They were not prolific players and he was.
a great man

Phil Collins is just awesome here!
The world was made so much nicer with you in it, Sir George. Thank you for your dignity, your humor, your giving us a small look into your heart.
I do declare that That George Martin is the father of Modern classical music, he took his experience in classical music and turned it into many Beatles music in a very unusual clever of ways.
There are so very few individuals who are such an integral force in Human Culture.. George Martin is one of those rare individuals.. Lary
“Brilliant “ is the one word to describe this whole idea................. you’re surely missed George..
I just listened to Phil Collins do "Golden Slumbers". WOW! I was a teenager listening to this in South Carolina in the 60's, and I was blown away. Can you image if you were in England (Phil) living this and being able to do this with George Martin all these years later. What a moment.
Simply masterful that George Martin.
So handsome and such a beautiful old-fashioned English accent and voice.
RIP George, you will be sorely missed in the music world

It's on certain Beatles songs that George Martin's presence is essential. Nobody else would have known where to start with a song like 'Yellow Submarine', the American rock producers of the era would have been scratching their heads wondering what the hell a Goon Show was. Then there's the orchestrations and layered effects of the Pepper era. He didn't make the band but he was essential to it in the studio.
The genius and gentleman of music. R.I.P.
Als das Making-of dieses Albums im Fernsehen kam, lauerte ich in den Startlöchern, um an dieses Album ranzukommen, und ich habe es NIE bereut. George Martin hat sich einiges getraut, und das Album ist Spitze. Goldie Hawns verjazzte Version von "A hard day's night" ist Zucker. Unbedingt hören! Ein Kollege, dem ich die CD dem lieh, hat sie sich anschließend auch gekauft. Ein Geniestreich!
Sir George Martin was pure genius! He will be missed forever! RIP!
Thankyou George. Humility and saturated with talent to bring out the best in everyone 🙏🙏🙏🤗
RIP dear man. Thank you.
I first heard a Beatles song as a 8 yo boy. Here I am at 68 still listening and enjoying their music. I think it gets better and Paul is still performing and sounding as good as ever.
What a treat! What a master. RIP Sir George, and thanks for all the music.
These songs are the Holy Grail of songs. And if anyone is qualified to mess with them it is the master himself George Martin.
He’s an elegant, articulate gentleman with a dry sense of humor. Perfect for the Beatles. I’m so pleased they filmed his last album which gives one insights into how he works and worked with the Beatles songs. I always wanted to see them working their magic in the studio.
Thanks!
Ganz besonders freut mich das hier Robin Williams noch mitgewirkt hat.
For me, the highlight is listening to John Williams playing "Here Comes The Sun" -- just by himself, before the orchestra joins in. Fantastic!! (It's also fun to listen to Robin Williams being Robin Williams -- RIP Funny man!)
The lead guitar, that followed along with Harrison's vocals in the original, was perfect for John Williams' Here Comes the 🌞!
Makes you appreciate the original recordings.
