George Martin reçoit un "Grammy Leadership Award"

[Wingspan]

He came from a background of classical music yet made his name helping four moptop Liverpudlians make musical history. Now top record producer Sir George Martin has seen his career honoured in an intimate LA ceremony on Saturday night.

Acclaimed as the most successful record producer of all-time, the man behind the sound of the Beatles was given the Grammy Foundation's coveted Leadership Award as part of its annual Starry Night fundraising gala. The honour was in "recognition of a lifetime of commitment and dedication to social, cultural, economic and educational issues", said the organisation.

"Sir George has had an impact on music and popular culture that is immeasurable," said the foundation's President, Neil Portnow. "His is a lifetime commitment to both music and humanity."

Sharing Sir George's big night were George Harrison's widow, Olivia, and Yoko Ono, the wife of the late John Lennon. Work commitments meant Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr were unable to attend, said the producer, adding: "They're workaholics. I can't understand why, but they are."

The night ended with a concert saluting Sir George and the music which he helped make. Performers included songwriter Burt Bacharach and singer Tom Jones.

Paul et Ringo n'était pas présent à cette soirée, mais Yoko Ono, oui...



Elle a chanté "Happy Birthday" à Ringo le 7 juillet dernier, lors de du Larry King Show, où elle était l'invitée téléphonique surprise.
Et là elle vient lécher les bottes du grand George Martin...

Est ce qu'il y a déjà eu un sujet sur macca et ses producteurs? Est ce que c'est mieux quand il s'autoproduit? P'tét intéressant d'en parler non?

[ArtiGussy]

Oui Paul s'est déjà autoproduit artistiquement parlant, tout seul. London Town, Band on the Run, Speed of Sound...et bien d'autres, même si Geoff Emerick n'était pas trés loin à chaque fois.
Plutôt les années post-Beatles, plus rarement par la suite.

En effet ledjé, c'est un sujet très intéressant qui mérite un topic à lui seul Je t'invite a le créer.
