Toccata and Fugue in D Minor [The world's very first ringtone & ringback] (1994)

Ringtones and Ringbacks were invented and given their precise names when prolific inventor Andre Gray created the world's very first one and uploaded it to his single-webpage on February 5, 1994. For the world's first ringtone, Gray chose the ten second opening of Johann Sebastian Bach's Tocatta and fugue in D Minor. Gray, a music technology specialist from The Juilliard School and inventor of the Electronic Press Kit or EPK among many other inventions, also provided a link to his newsgroup page that told the public how to create their own ringtones. Today, Andre Gray is widely recognized as the absolute father of Ringtones & mobile entertainment in general.
