Rock 'n' Roll Animal (a live album released in 1974) sold strongly, and Sally Can't Dance (1974) peaked at No. After Transformer, the less commercial but critically acclaimed Berlin peaked at No. The album is considered an influential landmark of the glam rock genre, anchored by Reed's most successful single, " Walk on the Wild Side". His second, Transformer (1972), was produced by David Bowie and arranged by Mick Ronson, and brought him mainstream recognition. Following several lineup changes and three more little-heard albums, Reed quit the band in 1970.Īfter leaving the band, Reed would go on to a much more commercially successful solo career, releasing twenty solo studio albums. The band released their first album, now with drummer Moe Tucker and featuring German singer Nico, in 1967, and parted ways with Warhol shortly thereafter. After building a reputation on the avant garde music scene, they gained the attention of Andy Warhol, who became the band's manager they in turn became something of a fixture at The Factory, Warhol's art studio, and served as his "house band" for various projects. A fellow session player at Pickwick was John Cale together with Sterling Morrison and Angus MacLise, they would form the Velvet Underground in 1965. After graduating from Syracuse, he went to work for Pickwick Records in New York City, a low-budget record company that specialized in sound-alike recordings, as a songwriter and session musician. Having played guitar and sung in doo-wop groups in high school, Reed studied poetry at Syracuse University under Delmore Schwartz, and had served as a radio DJ, hosting a late-night avant garde music program while at college.
Reed's distinctive deadpan voice, poetic and transgressive lyrics, and experimental guitar playing were trademarks throughout his long career. Although not commercially successful during its existence, the Velvet Underground became regarded as one of the most influential bands in the history of underground and alternative rock music. He was the guitarist, singer, and principal songwriter for the rock band The Velvet Underground and had a solo career that spanned five decades. The song gained some airplay in the UK on BBC Radio 1, and was added to the B-List on its playlist.Lewis Allan Reed (March 2, 1942 – October 27, 2013) was an American musician and songwriter.
