Nico

Chelsea Girl (sp)

The debut solo album by German singer Nico, 'Chelsea Girl' was released by Verve Records in October 1967, following Nico's collaboration with the Velvet Underground on their 1967 debut album. The title is a reference to Andy Warhol's 1966 film 'Chelsea Girls,' which Nico starred in. Born Christa Paffgen in Cologne in 1938, Nico was a singer, songwriter, actress and model. Besides working with Warhol, she had roles in several films, including Federico Fellini's 'La Dolce Vita' (1960). In the 1980s, she toured extensively. She died in Ibiza on July 18, 1988, as the result of a cycling accident at the age of 49. Musically, 'Chelsea Girl' can be described as a cross between chamber folk and 1960s baroque pop.
