Lou Reed - Perfect Day

”David has a melodic sense that is superior to any character of rock & roll. Most people could not sing their tunes. You can actually reach a very high note. Listen to “Satellite of Love” from my album Transformer. There’s a part at the end where his voice is very high. It’s great”

Lou Reed’s eyes

I did this a while ago and never got to posting it

Why some people hates Nico? I still don't know why. Please, explain.

I really don't know either anon. I guess some oele don't like her singing. She wasn't a very good singer in a technical sense, but she had a really interesting and nice voice in my oinion.
