HISTORY OF SYRACUSE MUSIC "OFFICIAL SITE"- CHAPTER 112 - THE PASSING OF ROCK LEGEND "LOU REED" AT AGE 71

We are very sad to near the news of the passing of music "Hall of Famer" Lou Reed at his home in Southampton, Long Island, NY October 27 at age 71. Another in a very long line of musical greats to have touched base in our Syracuse & Central New York music scene.
 
 Born March 2, 1942, in Brooklyn, NY. He continued his education at Syracuse University in 1960 attending the College of Performing Arts & Sciences, graduating in June 1964. In 1961, Lou  had his own short lived show (Excursions on a Wobbly Rail) on campus radio station WAER-FM. By 1962 he had formed the Syracuse University band - L.A. (Lou Allan)  & The Eldorados. At the University was befriended and studied under the famed poet and writer Delmore Schwartz. After graduation he spent some time as a songwriter for New York's Pickwick Records before forming the legendary Velvet Underground (John Cale along with another SU alumni Sterling Morrison) and along came the popular hit song "Walk on The Wild Side."
 
After the Underground Lou expanded his career as a solo artist, and at one time was  produced by David Bowie. Among his more popular songs were' "Sweet Jane", "Vicious",  "Rock and Roll", Heroin" and album's- "Transformer", "Berlin"  and live "Rock and Roll Animal" to name a few....their were many others. More recently he recorded the album "Lu Lu" with the heavy metal band Metallica.
 
From there.... into the pages of "Rock & Roll" history.

Lou Reed and Velvet Underground was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1996.
