Im so sad to hear the news of the passing of dear George Martin.
I have so many wonderful memories of this great man that will be with me forever, McCartney wrote.
He was a true gentleman and like a second father to me.

If anyone earned the title of the fifth Beatle it was George.
I agreed to this and went round to his house the next day to work on the arrangement.
McCartney added that Martin was so correct in his decision.
Martin produced nearly every Beatles song, and was responsible for 23 of the groups No.
1 hits in the U.S. (and 30 in the United Kingdom).
Martin was kknighted in 1996, and inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999.
