Tim McG Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 The reason the Beatles are still the most known, most listened to and covered and most successful band in history. Rest in Peace, Sir George. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 The true "Fifth Beatle", imo. Hardly ever an impetus, but one hell of a facilitator, the kind that frees the imaginations of the creators. With Lennon/McCartney at that time, that was a lot of freeing up of a lot of imagination. RIP, and thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After The Beatles he set up a studio somewhere in The West Indies I think. Jeff beck did Wired or Blow By Blow there. Maybe both I can't remember. So he had a hand in Fusion as well And of course he was responsible for The Beatles string arrangements like Yesterday and Eleonor Rigby. Apparently McCartney would hum him melodies or give him the bare bones and George Martin would take it from there. And I think he also played on some things, adding or doubling keyboard parts etc.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
