Sir George Martin (1926-2016) was a legendary record producer, arranger and audio engineer. He is best known for working with the Beatles, among many other famous recording artists of the 20th Century. He was made a Commander of the British Empire in 1988 and was awarded a knighthood in 1996.

Based on the strength of his collaboration with actor Pete Murray (One Day I’ll Forget My Trousers), George Martin brought Jeremy Hornsby on board as coauthor of his autobiography, All You Need is Ears.
