Ravi Shankar's death and George Martin's Birthday
The Indian sitar legend and Beatles' long-time friend, Ravi Shankar, passed away on December 11 at age 92 after undergoing heart surgery. The virtuoso is perhaps most well-known as being a good friend of George Harrison's and the one who taught him how to play the sitar, an instrument featured in some Beatles songs from 1966 onwards. He has been said to be the most well-known contemporary Indian musician.
On another note, today, January 3rd, marks the 87th birthday of producer George Martin. He was the producer for every Beatles album except Let It Be, which was produced by Phil Spector.
