George Martin himself said in an online interview I found around 2002 said that he has worked with many different music artists but that he has never known or worked with anyone as brilliant as The Beatles! And notice how the other music artists he produced,and Ringo didn't make them brilliant singer song writers and didn't have nearly as much critical acclaim,popularity and success as The Beatles did! He also said in Hunter Davies great 1968 authorized Beatles biography,The Beatles that in their music they are always ahead of everyone else and that they have an instinctive ability to know what to do more than other people! In his biography All You Need Is Ears refutes that he was the one who had most to do with The Beatles music. He admits most of the ideas came from them. And if anyone ever reads the excellent book,The Beatles Recording Sessions by Mark Lewisohn which is a very detailed music diary of of every recording session in their amazing only 8 year career, which has interviews with their recording engineers,tape operators,George Martin quotes,and a very good interview with Paul in the beginning,they would see how truly creative,and innovative especially John and Paul were in the recording studio and that most of these great musicial ideas came from them. George Martin was also once inerviewed on a rock station Beatles program and he said what is clearly obvious and true, (and he said it like he still couldn't belibe it)John Lennon and Paul McCartney were incredibly talented people, they both were extraordinarily talented song composers and great singers.
