回溯到60年代，紐約文化影響後世地下音樂、龐克、另類文化的一張唱片，是由普普大師Andy Warhol撮合德籍模特兒妮可所製作的《The Velvet Underground & Nico》，也就是著名「香蕉」封面之專輯。本專輯意外讓她從演員、模特兒轉變為歌手。在完成Andy Warhol影片《The Chelsea Girl》後，妮可採用Lou Reed、John Cale及16歲詩人Jackson Brown等人的作品，以深沉、灰暗、歌德式的樂風推出首張個人專輯《Chelsea Girl》，象徵著這位60年末嬉皮文化中女性搖滾代表人物的縮影。

Although Chelsea Girl (1967) was the first long-player from German-born Nico, it was not her debut solo effort. Prior to becoming involved with the Velvet Underground, Nico issued an obscure 7" that foreshadowed the eclectic nature of this LP. Although the dissolution between the vocalist and core instrumental quartet was not without its share of acrimony, the non-percussive contingent of the Velvet Underground is heavily featured on Chelsea Girl: along with then-unknown singer/songwriter Jackson Browne (guitar) there is Lou Reed (guitar), Sterling Morrison (guitar, bass) and John Cale (piano, bass, viola).
