I just came across an old song by Lou Reed when he was billed as Lewis Reed.
It's called Your Love......with a very '50s, early '60s sound. I love it.
One of my friends who DJ's on Top Shelf Oldies on Monday nights found it and
researched it and yep, it's Lou.
It's interesting to hear old Art Garfunkel songs when he was Artie Garr and
old Paul Simon songs when he was with Tico and the Triumphs or when he
performed as Jerry Landis. I was just wondering how much more material must
be out there that we haven't heard before. I would love to hear more early
songs by some of these artists. Can some of you come up with a list of
early groups that some of these performers were in (late '50s, early '60s)?
I would love to know. I know I probably have more of them on my computer,
but these are the ones I can remember the most. Thanks!

on occasion (some with say with tremendous regularity, and I don't know that
I could necessarily argue that, either), but I recently found a press
release that was such a horrible offender in the field of comparisons that I
quoted it verbatim in the review.

and Moxy Fruvous peek through the window at Lou Reed, who wipes down the bar
and pours a drink for Tom Waits. Suddenly, there's a drum roll, and MC
Bootsy Collins announces the next act...The Muppets performing their set of
covers by the Damned!"

LIKE *ANY* OF THOSE ARTISTS!!!)
