Nice tribute to George Martin, a lovely man. So trustworthy , so good. Do they make them like him anymore, no sure. Thank you for doing this video. Very enjoyable.
Glad you enjoyed it
Sorry, about the grammar, would be nice if the edit button worked, but whatever.
Seems Paul was the one who realized how important he was to their records.
Thank you for this video. GM deserves a lot of credit.
The Fifth Beatle without a doubt
George Martin said that the Beatles were 'of their time.'
George was of his time too and together they formed the perfect combination.
It's a shame that he wasn't credited on the original album, it must have hurt him.
Magic Alex was a "Chancer", as they say.
George Martin was great. Without him the beatles wouldn't have been the beatles.
GM's contribution to Let It Be has always been somewhat enigmatic. Thanks for clarifying it.
. . . And George didn't walk around with a loaded gun, and George didn't kill anyone.
Yup.
🤣
❤ *_Thanks so much_* 👏👏👏👏
What made George Martin great was he let the Beatles do their own thing. Another producer would have beem "You have to do it my way" Instead he allowed the Beatles creative freedom to experiment and he would advise them.
Another excellent review.
The impression I’ve always gotten is that these sessions were produced mostly by Glynn Johns and George Martin was more of a consultant. The get back doc seems to confirm this. It’s always been stated that GM was not there 80 percent of the time and only stopped by briefly occasionally. So I don’t know how you can conclude he was the producer.
Right. This video radically overstates George Martin's contribution to Let It Be and does so in manner that says "I know what's what and you don't, peon." It implies the "Fifth Beatle" thing, which is simply not true. "Me and Paul created the music, OK?" said John circa the 1970s, saying that, in part, because he was pissed GM got so much credit from the Fifth Beatle Claque.
For me the best moment on the Let It Be album is when there’s a silly falsetto voice, I would guess it’s John, saying something like “that was can you dig it by georgie’s mum and now we’d like to sing, how the angels come”. Guitars twang aimlessly in the background. Then the most sublime moment in all pop music as the piano comes in for the opening of “Let It Be”.
I’d always assumed it was Spector who collated those bits, (for which I have until now been willing to forgive a lot of the rest of his dreadful work) but according to this, maybe it was GM.
I think that may be Paul's voice.
As for Spector's mutilation of Long and Winding Road, it may have been the second most hideous crime he committed, the first being the murder of Lana Clarkson.
'Hark the herald angels sing'
@@andrewashdown3541 "hark the herald angel's comin'"
When martin produce the list of songs, I was immediately reminded of my own experience as a producer for highly creative, disorganized, and downright unruly songwriters. Seemingly in the background, Martin probably knew more about what was actually going on than anyone! But nothing epitomizes his unchallenged role as the fifth Beatle more than the isolated strings and horns for I am the Walrus.
George helped Ultravox as well
If anyone, Glyn Johns should get a production credit too! Dunno what his credit is on the LP...
Phil Spector’s Let It Be produced 3 #1 singles.
No, the Beatles produced 3 #1 singles.
The fact that they didn’t play octopus’s garden on the rooftop was a travesty
Excellent video. If you want to hear the difference GM made just listen to the arrangements/sound quality of the Imagine album and some of GH’s all things must pass. Even as a kid with on my dad’s radiogram Imagine sounded awful and a world away from the sound quality of Abbey Road. GM is an integral part of the Beatles success and is now loudly recognised as such by PM.
Why did they move away from George Martin for Let It Be in the first place?
They black balled Martin for saying he was responsible for Sgt Peppers in some magazine interview, which I believe he was, but wasn't allowed to tell, being The Beatles marketed as four geniuses who could do it all.
Name another piece of work outside of The Beatles that George Martin produced of a similar calibre?
@@ArchieFatcackie Name another piece of work from solo Lennon, McCartney or Harrison, as good as when they were in The Beatles.
If Martin was such a music genius, why did his own records not sell hardly at all? Some of Martin's albums even had photos of the Beatles on the cover and even those did not sell.
It's the same reason that the solo members of the Beatles didn't have the same consistency as when they were together. George Martin on his own didn't have the same inspiration as when he was working with the Beatles. The Beatles were a synergy; a perfect collective of complementary talents - with John, Paul, George and Ringo being the creative centre, and an equally talented producer in George Martin, and innovative sound engineers, especially Geoff Emerick, helping to realise their ideas.
Terrible clipping in the audio.
"Let ie Be" is the worst Beatles album anyway.
Eh, no. Beatles For Sale is.
Lennon hated G Martin - he assoc him with sugary, over-produced, spangly 'pop' - with a small degree of justification, and despite all the years of fruitful collaboration - while Paul and G Martin always saw eye-to-eye. Spector of course proved to be a cul-de-sac - Lennon, basically a naif, an ingenu, was taken in time & again - by Klein, by Spector, Magic Alex .. a host of other ne'er-do-wells, including ... well I won't say more ...
Let it be has some good songs but is the weakest Beatle album.
the Beatles without George Martin, the Beatles would have never even happened, he and his people created them,
The Beatles wrote the hit songs, sang them, played the primary instruments etc. etc. but compared to their producer they are nothing 😂
I think it’s fair to say that George Martin guided and assisted the Beatles he wasn’t a songwriter but he was a safe pair of hands and because of that the Beatles flourished 👍
Saying ‘The Beatles would never have happened’, without George Martin is daft,
They created themselves, Epstein spotted their talent , and the world is still interested in them, hence these videos,
There's such a thing as giving credit where its due without completely belittling what what others did. You can give George credit for being the perfect producer to work with the Beatles and adding in most of the chamber music used in their songs without trying to take away from the talent that went into creating the songs that George helped to polish.
Please give another example of George Martin’s work outside of The Beatles that’s remotely on the same level.
What’s his other body of work?
