The Liverpool quartet had been turned down by every record company they approached, however when Martin heard their demo in 1962, he knew he had found something special.
Love Me Do was the band's first single and reached number four in October 1962, and the rest is history.
As recently as 2006, Martin produced the Love album with his son Giles, a re-working of the band's songs.
Ringo Starr took to Twitter today to confirm the sad news:
Meanwhile tributes have poured in for the music great.Thank you for all your love and kindness George peace and love xx?✌️??pic.twitter.com/um2hRFB7qF

Every time I record at abbey road I geek out and play with the mics sir George Martin used. What an ear, what a life, what a legacy.
