  Roy Halee
Like it or not, the great New York engineer/producer Roy Halee will forever be linked with Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel; he recorded every album Simon & Garfunkel made, co-producing a couple of them, and did many of Simon's solo records and Garfunkel's acclaimed first album.
But during the course of more than 40 years in the recording business, Halee has amassed many other credits, too, covering a broad range of musical styles, and it is for his entire career that he has been named this year's recipient of the coveted TEC Hall of Fame award.
He's one of the guys the term “golden ears” was invented to describe, a master engineer with impeccable taste and an encyclopedic knowledge of both musical and technical matters.

Paul brought those recordings back to the U.S. and he and [engineer] Roy Halee would overdub on and compile those tracks for mixing.

Norrie Paramor, at Columbia U.K., started adding strings and full orchestra to Cliff Richard's music fairly early, Martin always had his performers sound like who they were, just optimizing the recording.
Thus, "Please Please Me," with his help, evolved from a slow, dramatic Roy Orbison-style lament (which was how John Lennon conceived it) into a roaring rocker that swept all the competition before it.
And "Misery," a short ballad with a break that needed embellishment, got it from Martin on electric piano without changing its character.
