Femme Fatale
Posted by Moonage | Filed under The World Of David Bowie
Sparkalot sent me a link to a video of Nico performing with Lou Reed. It’s gone now. However, I did find another of her performing with Velvet Underground. So, here goes.
This was Lou and the boys a few years before he would team up with Bowie for Transformer
Nico was the main babe of the New York alternative/punk scene during it’s climax. As that scene eventually faded, so did Nico. She died of a brain hemorrhage in Ibeza in 1988.
Lou is still performing today.
Femme Fatale is by far my favorite Nico song. I leave this post with a video of my favorite Lou Reed ditty. And, it’s not Walk on the Wild Side.

“The mellifluous saxophone solo played over the fadeout of the song was performed by Ronnie Ross, who had previously taught David Bowie to play the saxophone during Bowie’s childhood.”
