George Martin: The "Fifth Beatle"
Originally aired September 26, 2001
Rebroadcast on December 24, 2001
On November 29, 2001, Beatle George Harrison passed
away after a long illness. One week later, Beatle fans throughout the
world observed the 21st anniversary of the death of John Lennon. While
we recognize the talent of the "Fab Four," it should be noted that all
the recordings of the Beatles sound the way they do - because of one man.
Sir George Martin (known by many as the "fifth Beatle"), the producer
of all of the Beatles recordings from their first to their last. On September
26, 2001, Sir George Martin spoke at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and
Museum, about his career (over 50 years) as a record producer, before,
during, and after the Beatles. 90.3 WCPN®'S Jim Goldurs, stopped by
the Rock Hall earlier that day, and spoke with Martin at the Rock Hall's
studios. Click below to listen.
