Lou Reed was a founding member of the legendary Velvet Underground, as well as a solo recording artist, playwright, poet, and photographer. He is recognized as one the finest songwriters in history and is considered among the most profound influences on modern rock music. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 and was the recipient of numerous other awards. Discover highlights from the Library's newly acquired Lou Reed Archive documenting Reed's more than 50-year career—including original song lyrics, photographs, and personal ephemera—at two locations from March 2–20. ..."
