George Martin, one of the most influential producers in popular music history, has died aged 90. He was dubbed ‘the fifth Beatle’ having produced all but one of their albums, taking the credit for signing the band to Parlophone records, when others had turned them down. Aside from his work with the Beatles, Martin worked with the likes of Gerry and the Pacemakers, Shirley Bassey and Cilla Black, producing more than 700 records during his career.
