The Death of The Fifth Beatle

  Many people who have listened to The Beatles know John Lennon, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and of course, Paul McCartney. The "Fifth Beatle" was the musical composer of the group, George Martin. A good portion of the music you may hear by this band, George was a greatly important figure of.   The band had very close relations to this man, as he was often referred to as the fifth part of this group. His constant appearance allows him not to be forgotten.
  Unfortunately on March 8,2016 George Martin passed as a result of age. Because of his creative styles, The Beatles had their unusual sound. May it be the circus atmosphere of "For The Benifit of Mister Kite",  or the musical styling of the "Fixing a Hole" harpsichord, piano solo in "In my Life", and even  the arrangement for the soundtrack of "The Yellow Submarine", movie. Without this artist, the band loved around the world would be filled with the emptiness of a thriving and different sound it could have.
  We can only hope that Martin is united with George Harrison, and Ringo Starr in a place beyond this. They truly are not dead, for every song you hear they still live on within continuing a spread of love and peace.
