Lou Reed
Lewis Allan Reed is an American musician, singer, songwriter and poet. He is the lead guitarist, singer and musician of the rock band Velvet Underground and has a five-decade solo career. The Velvet Underground was not a commercial success during its existence, but is considered one of the most influential groups in the history of underground and alternative rock music. Reed's exceptionally short voice, Reed's poetic and in-depth lyrics, and his ability to play experimental guitar are hallmarks of his long career. After leaving the group in 1970, Reed released 20 solo studio albums. His second film, Transformer, was produced by David Bowie and arranged by Mick Ronson, and won his wide recognition. The album is considered an influential landmark of the glam rock genre, anchored by Reed's most successful single, "Walk on the Wild Side". After Transformer, Berlin, less commercial but highly critically acclaimed, reached number 7 on the UK album chart.
