George was The Beatles producer and the true fifth Beatle. His suggestion to speed up Please, Please Me made it the group's first #1, he played on dozens of their recordings (including contributing the piano solo on "In My Life"), and he composed and orchestrated the strings on songs like "Eleanor Rigby." After The Beatles broke up, he produced many great artists like Elton John, The Who, and his old friend Paul McCartney. He died of natural causes on March 8, 2016.
