George Martin, who signed and produced for The Beatles before embarking on a career scoring films has passed away at age 90.
Born in 1926 in London, Sir Martin attended the Guildhall School of Music and drama before joining record label EMI. He mostly produced novelty and comedy albums until he was approached by Brian Epstein, who had an interesting new band he was promoting- The Beatles. Martin soon found himself at the center of the biggest music phenomenon the world had seen and became known as one of the greatest music producers ever. He put his musical talents to work on the big screen, scoring films such as Yellow Submarine and Live and Let Die.
Sir Martin, by now known as the "fifth Beatle", continued to work on various film and Beatle related projects right up until recently. His talents will truly be missed and remembered by a grateful world.
