George Martin and the "crappy band" The Beatles!

"The time I had the opportunity to meet George Martin briefly, I knew what I wanted to ask. I wanted to know exactly what was going on in his head, heart and gut when he made the decision to sign The Beatles.

His response sent chills down my spine: “I thought they were actually a pretty crappy band, and there was no evidence that they could write songs, but when they walked in the room together, there was so much overwhelming charisma, I felt like they changed the molecules in the room. I signed them because they were special people”.
