Klaus Meine

German singer

In the history of music, Klaus Meine is one of the names that keeps returning.

The record lists Klaus Meine as German singer.

Klaus Meine was born at Hanover in 1948. His recorded nationality is Germany.

Broadcast radio, the LP and the touring circuit made this the first era in which a musician could reach a mass audience without ever meeting it.

He worked as heavy metal singer and songwriter.

The instruments recorded are voice.

His work is classed as hard rock and heavy metal music.

He performed with Scorpions.

Performance is the most perishable art and recording the most durable; a career sits between the two.

Recognition followed: Cross of Merit First Class of the Lower Saxony Order of Merit (2000), Lower Saxony State Prize (2014) and Grand Cross of Merit of the Lower Saxony Order of Merit (2023).

That the work came out of Germany shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
