"Happy Belated Birthday Dear Sir George Martin! Words could not do justice to the gratefulness I feel in my heart for you for guiding and implementing the ideas and sounds with the world's most famous rock band. All of you were meant to cross paths back in the early days and once you did...the rest was Rock and Roll History!! All the best of everything for you & you family." ~ Helen Marketti, Sandusky, Ohio, USA
"Thank you so much for your contribution and excellence in production
and sound engineering. As a child of the 60's, I was priviledged to have listened to such great recordings of the Beatles. Today, I am 46 years old. My son Brinton (12 year old), is a Beatles fanatic. It's nice to know that 34 years later your work still sets the standard for great recordings. Thank you and God Bless you! Happy Birthday." ~ Herman Z. Resto, USA
"Happy Birthday, Sir George! Thank you for all the great music you help produce through the years! I had just seen one of your 'young' charges in concert - namely, Sir Paul McCartney! It was serendipity that brought you and the Fab Four together! And, what you fellas did in such a short span of time was magical! All the other recordings you did (comedic, jazz, movies) were also godd, but it's the Beatles' music
that will be remembered for many years! Again, thank you, sir, for all that you did, and a Happy 75th!" ~ Siva Jonnada, Morristown, New Jersey, USA

irradiate from your person and the music you have composed, recorded and
produced. I must confess I look up to you in the vocational and creational
field. I am a student of Composition and Choral Direction, and have also
studied Electronical Engineering for some time, but my goal was to become a
producer, arranger and composer like you are. One of my favorite Beatles
album is Yellow Submarine, and I often study your compositions of that album
to learn your style of orchestration. Thank you very much for all the music
and inspiration you are to my life. Happy Birthday!" ~ Agustín Saravia,
Córdoba, Argentina

"Dear Sir George - I didn't see anything wrong with your tie!!!! Wishing you
the happiest birthday of your life, and what are you going to do for the
next 75 years? Would love to hear some new symphonic work from you. You have
a distinctive voice in your orchestration, and of course, it enhanced the
work of the Beatles and opened our ears. Music is the most powerful (social)
force on earth, (which is why so many governments are afraid of it), and you
speak the language everyone can understand. Making people happy, lifting
them for a few minutes or hours is a wonderful thing to be able to do. And
you helped to bring wonder and the joy of discovery into millions of lives.
Thank you for using your gifts as a positive force in the world. Much love
from a lifelong fan." ~ Don Coyer, Rincon (Savannah), Georgia, USA

you, Sir George. Hope you are having a wonderful time!" ~ B & J D., USA

birthmark. I hold you in high esteem for your inventiveness, for your
