I went through a phase were I didn't like The Beatles, because of the whole assertion that they were "greatest band in the world." What really changed my whole perspective was watching a Rockumentary about The Beatles and listening to Sir George Martin speak about the band. When he told his stories he would affectionately refer to them as "the boys." I no longer seen them as overrated or overhyped, whatever have you. Through his eyes I was opened up to a whole other personal side of the band. I remember I would watch that documentary dozens of time just to hear him talk. I always admired how articulate and professional he was. His anecdotes were interesting and amusing. George Martin was a true English gentleman. He was someone I really respected.
He was the one who played the harpsichord for the song "In My Life." In some ways he was the fifth Beatle, kinda like Ian Stewart was a sixth Stones, but more. He really change the face of music.
