The man who helped put The Beatles on the map has died. Sir George Martin passed away at the age of 90. Paul McCartney penned a beautiful tribute to the producer who Paul saw more as a second father. Here’s an portion of that letter from McCartney’s website…
“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.”
