RIP Billy!!!!!

[DMAC]

Aren't we all the "5th Beatle" ?

[chagrin]

I have two thoughts here:

1) He obviously was a good musician who played on many famous recordings, but 5th Beatle? I am really tired of everyone and their mother claiming to be a "Beatle"

2) He wasin a coma due to a "Medical Insult" WTF??

Billy Preston was always one of my favorites.

I have a Billy Preston ring tone on the cell.

Where does Pete Best fall into all of this? Is he like the 6th Beatle or 7th?

The 5th Beatle was Stu Sutcliffe.
That's the only person I can think of that might legitimately qualify for that honorific.

Ever since Howard Stern played;

"That's the way, . . . God planned it. That's the way, . . . God wants it to be."

in remembrance, I can't get that song out of my head.

I guess there is more than one "5th Beatle".....

Beatles Producer George Martin: '5th Beatle' Dead

George Martin, the incredibly brilliant producer of The Beatles who was such an influence on the group he was known as "the 5th Beatle" -- has died. Martin passed away Wednesday at his home in London.
His influence cannot be understated. When Martin met the Beatles in 1962 he was not impressed ... he felt their music was all over the place, but, as he put it, "They were like plants in a hothouse. They grew incredibly fast."
Martin got initial resistance from John Lennon and Paul McCartney, who wrote the songs for the group, but they quickly grew to trust Martin like a partner. When they were recording "Yesterday," it was Martin who wanted to add a string quartet. Paul didn't get it at first, saying "We're a rock 'n' roll band!" Paul relented, and an empowered Martin added a cello and violin.

Martin's knowledge of technology was inspiration for the group ... best shown in songs like "Penny Lane," "Strawberry Fields Forever" and the crown jewel -- the album, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."
