Joining the Wildest Side

Lou Reed has died.
Member of The Velvet Underground (of whom it was said that not many people bought their records but everyone who did rushed out immediately and formed a band) and inspirer of David Bowie plus countless others.
He became well-known in the UK due to the song Walk on the Wild Side becoming a hit. Much, much later Perfect Day was turned into a magnificent BBC promo video.
I suspect everyone will be posting one or other of the above two tracks so here’s another of his better known songs.
Lou Reed: Satellite of Love
Lewis Allan “Lou” Reed:- 2/3/1942 – 7/10/2013. So it goes.
