Lou Reed passed away last Saturday. He was 71 years old.

The song has been covered by countless artists and bands but the following has always been our favorite as it has a decidedly different vibe from what you just heard.
Off their excellent Trinity Sessions album, here's The Cowboy Junkies and their version of Reed's classic:
