I think <strong>Doug Yule<\/strong> actually made his first appearance with the Velvet Underground a few years earlier than his official entry on the third album. We&#8217;ve tried to get Doug to do an interview with us to no avail. Maybe he fears being confronted with this question. There&#8217;s not a trace of Nico or Lou&#8217;s distinctive accents and difficulties with &#8220;sealing the deal&#8221; on notes. How many recordings of Lou Reed exist, and on how many of them does he sound anything like the person singing this version of &#8220;Sunday Morning?&#8221; I believe the answer is &#8220;0.&#8221; It&#8217;s <em>got<\/em> to be Doug!
