How much was The Beatles and how much was George Martin?

Very much mutual I think. The genius of The Beatles would never have come to fruition without the corresponding genius of George Martin. The Beatles would not have the impact they had without Martin's vision, and Martin could not have done it with any other band of the period. Think Dave Dee Dozey Beaky Mick and Tich. No not even The Stones...
Serendipity is the word I'm looking for...

It's a shame that his talents weren't passed down to his son Chris.

I didn't get The Beatles when I was young.
I thought "Nice tunes, but they are no Bay City Rollers".
It's only as I've aged that I've really appreciated them.
