This interview flew by. I did not want it to end. I love listening to this man speak. A real gentleman and a genius. The Beatles success in America came thanks to the persistence of George Martin.

Great interview of a fascinating and intelligent man.

[@andydixon2980]

Excellent and respectful interview. George Martin seemed perfectly placed to be the Beatles talented record producer.

Really intetesting interview.

[@edzielinski]

Fantastic. Hearing George Martin speak freely and forthrightly about his experiences is pure gold. It's fascinating to me that the commentary near the end about how the music of they type that the Beatles created in their peak creative years could not be sold without being tied into television carries over into the environment today, where you need a video for any popular song, and instead of MTV, it's now TikTok and Instagram and such. It's also very clear that he recognizes that greatness is a product of a particular time, set of circumstances and luck. There's no formula for making a #1 song because the factors that make it successful are beyond your control - you can only create the best you can and hope it resonates and that you've hit at the right time.

Agree 100%.

What a class act.

[@Dskrib]

I like how he knew which albums were the best and wasn’t afraid to say it or acting political

[@Badfinger-m5v]

Lennon would have blown his stack if he had heard this interview. He was always agitated by anyone who took credit for the Beatles other than the four boys themselves.

[@Ryan-on5on]

I would like to think that, at this stage, John would have had the maturity to give credit where credit is due and acknowledge the great help the boys received from George Martin, Geoff Emerick, Norman Smith, and the other Abbey Road production crew in crafting the Beatles' sound!

There were no fifth beatle. Its ridiculous. They were four.
