1582 - The Velvet Underground Sunday Morning 1966

"Sunday Morning" is a song by the Velvet Underground. It was requested by Tom Wilson, who thought their first album needed another song with lead vocals by Nico with the potential to be a successful single. Wilson brought the band into a New York City recording studio in November. The song was written with Nico's voice in mind by Lou Reed and John Cale on a Sunday morning. The band previously performed it live with Nico singing lead, but when it came time to record it, Lou Reed sang the lead vocal. Nico would instead sing backing vocals on the song.
