    My voices in the background..Lou wanted that doo op Brooklyn street singing sound. I was just the right person to give it to him.
    It was my second album doing back up vocals for him; “Sally Can’t Dance” was the first.
    We always got along..one night in the studio he taught me how to drink Scotch😆
    Media sound..for my money, at that time the best studio in NYC.
    The whole album was a gas.. but the title track was absolute magic. One of the reasons is that guitarist extraordinaire
    Bob Kulick, who had played on a bunch of my records was on board.
    He was one of the most versatile and intuitive players of all time.
    I felt there was something missing at the end of the title track..I had an Idea and suggested that he finish with the sort dedication we had heard on the radio growing up. He didn’t skip a beat, knew exactly what I was saying, and in one take ended the tune touchingly and perfectly.
    Fittingly that was the last bit of recording.
    I was sitting at the recording console the next day with Godfrey Diamond the engineer when Lou popped in and said he was going away for a few weeks and that he wanted us to mix the album while he was gone. We looked at each other thunder struck but that’s how it went down.
    Unforgettable music unforgettable experience.
    Thanks Lou for the trust.
    Mike Wendroff 31/October/22.

      Wow Mike! I must have listened to this album a hundred times until I realized what I love most about it: the choir! Because your voice(s) make Lou‘s lyrics feelable, especially in dreamy whispered tunes like „Crazy Feeling“ and „A Gift“. Thank you so much for your singing Mike. I‘m a Coney Island Baby now. ❤

    i first heard this song when i was 14ish. i'm female. I never wanted to play football for the coach. I was hurdler. And I too wanted the approval and acceptance and win for my coach. I never had any girl on girl crushes or same on same on, never in my wheel house.............but the desolateness, the wanting, of this song,,,,,,,,,to belong...........for approval..............it was the first song that really spoke to me...........when your all alone and lonely in your midnight hour and you find that your soul has been up for sale and you begin to think that all the things that you done and you begin to hate just about everything.....that was me in 10th grade. And God Lou was real. RIP . The longing of belonging for who you are, the longing for unconditional love....yeah i was abused by my step father......and everything was a muck mess. Lou and this song saved me. The Glory of Love......Rachel, i'd give the whole thing up for you. I never had a Rachel, but i have 2 daughters Stefanie and Andrea, and 2 sons, David and Jonathon............and after all these years, I'd give the whole thing up for them. Unconditional love is without condition. Thank you Lou.

    First time I heard this song was driving back home from the beach in Southern California. I'd just gotten on the freeway, turned the radio on and caught the song just as it was starting. It was dusk. It must have caught me in just the right mood because the lyrics seemed so clear, almost as if Reed was speaking to me. And I thought about old friends, people I'd grown up with and hadn't seen for years, my old neighborhood. So I'm driving along and suddenly I was engulfed by a sense of grief and loss, and I started weeping openly, surprised that I'd made such an instant connection to it. And as the song plays on I'm thinking I have to know the name of it because I'm going to go buy this right away. And when the song ended the DJ says that was Coney Island Baby by the great Lou Reed. Turns out the radio station had apparently been playing nothing but Lou Reed songs that afternoon because he had just died. And when I got home I played Perfect Day and Walk on the Wild Side and Sweet Jane over and over and over again.

    Lou had somehow become the voice for those on the outside looking in. He represented those who were hushed and abused, and made music to fit those emotions. Albums like VU/Nico and White Light/White Heat painted him as someone who didn't want popular recognition, but this song makes me cry every time. Like so many people, he just wanted to be accepted regardless of his sexuality. I can't help but cry.. Damn, I love you, Lou.

    I first discovered Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground in grade 10 around 1999 and every single song I heard off the banana album spoke to my soul like nothing I'd ever heard before. In high school I was starting to realize that there was no where I was fitting in socially. I was starting to just avoid everybody because I was most comfortable by myself. I was a major introvert, and had nothing in common with anybody. When I heard Lou Reed, I was relieved to know there was somebody who felt the exact same stuff I felt

Thinking about growing up in Brooklyn with all the same wierd feelings Lou had. Trying to make sense of it. This song helps me let go and just sit with myself.

    You know, man, when I was a young man in high school
    You believe in or not, that I wanted to play football for the coach
    And all those older guys
    They said that he was mean and cruel but you know
    I wanted to play football, for the coach
    They said I was a little too lightweight to play lineback and so I'm playing right-end
    Wanted to play football for the coach
    'Cause, you know some day, man you gotta stand up straight unless you're gonna fall
    Then you're going to die
    And the straightest dude I ever knew was standing right for me, all the time
    So I had to play football for the coach
    And I wanted to play football for the coach
    When you're all alone and lonely
    In your midnight hour
    And you find that your soul
    It has been up for sale
    And you're getting to think about
    All the things that you done
    And you're getting to hate
    Just about everything
    But remember the princess who lived on the hill
    Who loved you even though she knew you was wrong
    And right now she just might come shining through
    And the
    Glory of love
    Glory of love
    Glory of love, just might come through
    And all your two-bit friends have gone and ripped you off
    They're talking behind your back saying "man, you are never going to be no human being"
    And you start thinking again about all those things that you've done
    And who it was and what it was
    And all the different things that made every different scene
    Ah, but remember that the city is a funny place
    Something like a circus or a sewer
    And just remember, different people have peculiar tastes
    And the
    Glory of love
    The glory of love
    The glory of love, might see you through
    Yeah, but now, now
    Glory of love
    The glory of love
    The glory of love might see you through
    Glory of love, uh, huh-huh
    The glory of love
    Glory of love, glory of love
    Glory of love, now, glory of love, now
    Glory of love, now, now, now, glory of love
    Glory of love, give it to me now, glory of love to see you through, huh
    Oh, my Coney Island baby, now
    I'm a Coney Island baby, now
    I'd like to send this one out to Lou and Rachel
    And all the kids at P.S. one-ninety-two (Coney Island baby)
    Man, I'd swear, I'd give the whole thing up for you
