Lou Reed

In October 2008, Lou Reed made a memorable appearance on the 'Late Show with David Letterman', performing 'Caroline Says II'. At this stage of his career, Reed had just released his album 'Hudson River Mainline' in 2007, which showcased his continued evolution as an artist. It's intriguing how Reed, known for his raw, poetic lyrics and avant-garde sound, had transformed his music over decades while remaining a quintessential figure in rock history. This performance came toward the end of his illustrious career, just a few years before his passing in 2013. Reed's ability to convey deep emotion through his music had not waned, and his live rendition of this haunting track served as a testament to his enduring legacy, leaving an indelible mark on fans and newcomers alike.
