Musical Artists
The Velvet Underground (1965-1970) performed songs about hustlers, drag queens, and junkies at a time when most popular music expressed a visionary dreaminess. The group coalesced at Andy Warhol's studio, The Factory, and performed at many of Warhol's art events, though it sold few albums.
After the band broke up, Lou Reed (b. 1942), one of its members, went solo. His first album, Transformer (1972) included his signature "Walk on the Wild Side," which tells the story of a transgendered hooker's odyssey. Reed continues to produce critically-acclaimed albums and tour frequently.
