"The tirelessly experimental, gorgeously grandiose production of George Martin is synonymous with the Beatles &amp;#x2014; and understandably so. His studio stewardship of the group for most of their existence went far beyond the traditional producer role and, together, they pushed the limits of what pop music could sound like. But Martin&amp;apos;s career predated the Fab Four and would continue long after they broke up. He lent his formidable, innovative production and arranging talents to a variety of pop, novelty and soundtrack sessions in the early days; and his work with a panoply of top-name rock artists from the Fifties through the Nineties solidified a legacy that didn&amp;apos;t even need it.\r\n&amp;quot;That&amp;apos;s part of my background, the catholic world of music that has no limits, no blinkers.&amp;quot; Martin told Mojo in 2007. &amp;quot;And when you achieve something that you know hasn&amp;apos;t been done before, and&amp;#xA0;know&amp;#xA0;that people will love it, it&amp;apos;s an enormous feeling of elation, to have done something really worthwhile.&amp;quot;\r\nFrom passing along Beatles rejects to Gerry and the Pacemakers to fostering Seventies jazz fusion with Mahavishnu Orchestra to helping Elton John&amp;apos;s tribute to Princess Diana became the second best-selling single of all time, here are some examples of why Martin was so much more than the Fifth Beatle."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
