Norman "Hurricane" Smith (22 February 1923 -- 3 March 2008) was an English musician and record producer.
Smith was born in Edmonton, Middlesex, and served as a RAF glider pilot during World War II. After an unsuccessful career as a jazz musician, Smith joined EMI as an apprentice sound engineer in 1959.

He was the engineer on all of the EMI studio recordings by The Beatles until 1965 when EMI promoted him from engineer to producer. The last Beatles album he recorded was Rubber Soul,[1] and Smith engineered the sound for almost 100 Beatles songs in total.[2]

John Lennon first bestowed upon Smith the nickname of "Hurricane", and it was quickly picked up by the other Beatles. Lennon did so as a humorous reference to Smith's very unhurried and unflappable nature.

While working with The Beatles on 17 June 1965, he was offered £15,000 by the band's music publishing company, Dick James Music, to buy outright a song he had written.[3]

In early 1967, he began working with a new group, Pink Floyd, producing their first, second, and fourth studio albums The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, A Saucerful of Secrets, and Ummagumma.[4] During the sessions for the song, "Remember a Day", drummer Nick Mason became agitated that he could not come up with the right drum part for the song. Smith, however, knew what he wanted with the drums, so he played the part himself.[5]

In 1968, Smith produced one of the first rock concept albums, The Pretty Things' S.F. Sorrow.

He produced early recordings by Barclay James Harvest, including their highly-rated album Once Again, and many years later was name-checked in John Lees' song, "John Lennon's Guitar".

In 1971, Smith, using a recording artist pseudonym of "Hurricane Smith," had a UK hit with "Don't Let It Die". This recording was a demo of a song that he had written with the hope that John Lennon would record it. When he played it for fellow record producer Mickie Most, Most was impressed enough to tell him to release it as it was.[citation needed] In 1972, he enjoyed a transatlantic hit with "Oh Babe What Would You Say?", which became a U.S. #1 Cash Box and a Billboard Pop #3 hit.[6] Also included on Smith's self-titled debut album was a third hit single, a cover version of Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Who Was It?"

Some minor hits followed, like "My Mother Was Her Name" (1972), "Beautiful Day, Beautiful Night" (1973) and "To Make You My Baby" (1974). However, his subsequent attempts at producing successful recordings proved elusive.

Smith also recorded an instrumental track, entitled "Theme From an Unmade Silent Movie", which the West Midlands based radio presenter, Tony Butler, adopted as his theme music, playing it frequently on his sports show in an attempt—often successful—to encourage the region's local football teams to score a goal. Fans of Aston Villa F.C. also consider this tune as their unofficial club theme and it can often be heard played at Villa Park during the pre-match and half-time intervals. It was performed by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra on 6 June 2008 [7].

Norman Hurricane Smith is my first idol in Pop Music, the year 1971 and my first single was "Don't Let it Die" and "The Writer Sings his Song" in the B side, this song is from "Razzmatazz Shall Inherit the Heart" that I buy in 1974...golden memories, I think Mr. Norman Smith is an historical figure in Uk music and an example to new generations like one man who lives in and for the Music...thanks for the post and the photos... a real fan in Brazil ...
