“I don’t normally share anything personal but this my dad from a while back explaining to my daughter he signed the Beatles. Ordinary people do extraordinary things.

“This is so wonderful, Giles. Your father produced an album in the 80s for Kenny Rogers which included a song I wrote with the great Jeremy Lubbock. I met your dad at the studio and he was warm, complimentary and the ultimate mensch,” wrote singer Richard Marx.
“Moments after my band received plaques for our first gold record I found myself in an elevator with George. He was so gracious, asking to see it, having Judy hand him his specs so he could read it all, congratulating us and recalling his first. A wonderful, kind man,” posted another. “Thank you, this is wonderful. I'd like to note that your daughter plays her full part here by being such a good listener,” expressed a third.
