His most famous work was his [[recording]]s with [[The Beatles]]. These were made at [[Abbey Road Studios]] during the 1960s.

Paul McCartney, the most "[[conventional]]" (normal) Beatle, worked with Martin several times after the Beatles ended in 1970. John Lennon counted on Martin to turn his sometimes "way-out" ideas into finished records, but he did not always like the way Martin worked, and mostly produced his own solo recordings. [[George Harrison]], the youngest Beatle, found many of his songs and ideas rejected by Martin. Martin later said "I was always rather beastly to George," in trying to make more hit records. Harrison also produced (or co-produced) most of his own solo work. He even built his own recording studio after years of making records at Abbey Road. Martin praised Ringo Starr's "super-steady beat", and the sound his [[Drum kit|drums]] gave the Beatles records, but each later worked with other people.

Even years after they broke up, Martin still worked with and for the Beatles and the music they had made together. He [[remix]]ed many of their recordings for re-issues and [[Album|compilation records]]. He made several records of his own with classical and [[orchestra]]l versions of Beatles tunes, and was the music producer for ''[[Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band]]'', a [[fantasy]] [[movie]] based on their songs, which starred the [[Bee Gees (The)|Bee Gees]] and [[Peter Frampton]].

Besides the Beatles, Martin worked with other recording artists, including [[Shirley Bassey]], [[Bernard Cribbins]], [[America (band)|America]], [[Kenny Rogers]], the trio [[Emerson, Lake & Palmer|EL&P]], [[Dudley Moore]], and [[Little River Band]]. He wrote a [[book]], ''All You Need is Ears'', that told his life story and explained how many of his most famous recordings were made. During the [[1990s]], Martin was made a [[knight]] by the [[United Kingdom|British]] [[government]], for his work and his role in popular music.
