Tough to argue: without George Martin
there would be no Beatles:
When he first heard the band's demo he was unimpressed. But he liked
their manager Brian Epstein, he really liked the lads, and he was on the
look out for a band for his Parlophone label, which at that point was
mainly producing comedy LPs.
So, he needed them. But they needed
him a whole lot more. They were like an orchestra without a conductor: a
group of individuals, not a band greater than the sum of its parts.
Sir
George sorted that out. He was their creative inspiration, the person
who shaped their sound and turned what was tantamount to a skiffle group
into the most famous rock-n-roll band in the world.
