She then composed songs on a harmonium, not traditionally a rock instrument. Nico's friend, Jim Morrison, suggested that she start writing her own material. At the same time, she started a solo career and released Chelsea Girl (1967). Īt the insistence of Warhol, she sang on three songs of the Velvet Underground's debut album The Velvet Underground & Nico (1967). Reviewer Richard Goldstein describes Nico as "half goddess, half icicle" and writes that her distinctive voice "sounds something like a cello getting up in the morning". She had roles in several films, including Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita (1960) and Andy Warhol's Chelsea Girls (1966).
Christa Päffgen ( 16 October 1938 – 18 July 1988), known by her stage name Nico, was a German singer, songwriter, actress and model.
