NICO + THE FACTION
JAMES YOUNG, GRAHAM DIDS plus IAN CARR
One of the most fascinating figures of rock's fringes, Nico hobnobbed, worked, and was romantically linked
with an incredible assortment of the most legendary entertainers of the '60s. The paradox of her career was
that she herself never attained the fame of her peers, pursuing a distinctly individualistic
and uncompromising musical career that was uncommercial, but wholly admirable and influential.
Nico first rose to fame as a European supermodel, also landing a bit part in Fellini's La Dolce Vita film
and giving birth to a son by Alain Delon. In 1965, she attracted the attention of Rolling Stones manager
Andrew Loog Oldham, who gave her a chance to record for his Immediate label, though the resulting single,
which also featured Brian Jones and Jimmy Page on guitars, flopped.
Shortly afterward, she moved to New York, where Andy Warhol installed her as a vestigial presence
and occasional lead singer for the Velvet Underground. The band never really accepted her
as a bona fide member and she departed in 1967, but not before contributing unforgettable deadpan vocals
to three of the songs on their classic 1967 debut album. Nico embarked on a solo career
