Many know him for his tremendous contributions to the Beatles’ career, but Sir George Martin touched many artists’ lives apart from the Fab Four. Throughout a career that spanned over six decades, George Martin worked in the fields of music, film, television, and live performance and got in the studio with many names in the music industry, such as the Police, Celine Dion, Jeff Beck, Cheap Trick, America, UFO, Ultravox, Gerry and the Pacemakers, and Elton John.
As the head of EMI’s Parlophone label, Sir George Martin helped the Beatles reach worldwide success with his excessive involvement in the band’s career and contribution to their orchestral arrangements and instrumentation. He later formed his own production company, Associated Independent Recording, and built a recording studio on the Caribbean island of Montserrat. This secluded island witnessed numerous rock icons record their albums, including the Rolling Stones, Rush, Black Sabbath, and Duran Duran.
