Legend of computer music

It's a shame that the name of the composer of this melody Gershon Kingsley (Gershon Kingsley), remains unfamiliar to most. This is the first electronic composition in the world, to the share of which was a deafening fame. She instantly became an international hit.
Many famous musicians such as Sten Free, Jean Michel Jarre, Arthur Fiedler, Anarchic System, Arthur Fiedler, Aphex Twin, Muse, Gigi D'Agostino, Time Frequency, Crazy Frog, Messer Chups our Victor Zinchuk, and many others have created over 500 cover versions of this work. In the USSR, the most famous is the version of Vyacheslav Meshcherin, which received a well-deserved fame not only in our country, but also far abroad.
