George Martin was born on 3 January 1926.

As well as his groundbreaking work with #TheBeatles, George produced some enduring and innovative comedy records, including the #BeyondTheFringe cast recording, bestselling records with #PeterSellers, a #GoonShow LP and Right Said Fred by #BernardCribbins.

@JamesGleick That usage dates back to #JonathanMiller, medical doctor and member of #BeyondTheFringe, who was frequently asked, as you might expect for a funny doctor, "Are you Jewish," and would then respond "I'm Jew-ish." The phrase was taken up by #TomStoppard, who emigrated from the Czech Republic as a child, until he found out, only as an adult, that he was in fact Jewish and had lost family in the camps, the subject of his play "#Leopoldstadt," now running on Broadway.
