The German city of Aachen has a credible claim to being the birthplace of the discotheque 50 years ago this month. The world's first DJ, Heinrich, has told SPIEGEL ONLINE how he made music history, more or less by accident.[..]
Heinrich, whose real name is Klaus Quirini, was a 19-year-old cub reporter for the local newspaper and had been sent to write a story about the strange new phenomenon of public record-playing. The man on stage, an opera singer from Cologne, would change records without saying anything, and the audience wasn't impressed.[..]
Fuelled by liquid courage, he jumped on stage. "I said: Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to roll up our trouser legs and flood this place because A Ship Will Come with Lale Andersen!"
