 78 Years Ago Today

Tuesday 30th of November 1943
Performance artist Frank Uwe Laysiepen aka Ulay is born in Solingen, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany.

The German musician Ulay originally came to the United States from Poland in 1939, and studied mechanical engineering.
At 18 months old, he started his career as a musician doing lead vocals. After two years, he was a producer. The following year he received a first and second contract as a bassist, and by November 1942, he had released his first album, RHEA... and the title track was being performed in Poland. In November 1942, while teaching at the Vistula school, Ulye entered the choir - "Rhean" was "Rheum," "Ule," and the name "Uly" (after his first name), to be played. In 1942 Ulye was on leave from his band at the end, and at least half his previous performance was performed as Ulye on the album "Rhean." Later that year, he joined the band "Reutwalt," composed by Ule Biel, as well as singing. He then released "L'Ove", an album of songs with a female lead (or "Mumna" as he used to be known), "Avant Garde", and released "Kant" with the backing vocals of the lead singer.
