Nico (3)
Vrai nom:
Christa Päffgen
Profil:
Nico was a German singer, songwriter, musician, model and actress, born in Köln (Cologne) 18 October 1938, dead in a bicycle accident on Ibiza, Balearic Islands, Spain, 18 July 1988. According to her autobiography, her Catholic father Wilhelm Päffgen was an archeologist, stemming from a wealthy Bavarian brew master dynasty, who died in WWII in 1942, whereas her mother Margarete (née Schulze, 1910-70) was a Protestant. Nico's father's conservative family refused to care for Nico and her mother after his demise, and so they first moved to Berlin-Schöneberg. Due to the heavy bombings, they soon moved again, to Lübbenau in Brandenburg, a small town in the eastern part of Germany.
After the war, mother and daughter moved to Berlin where Nico, aged 15 and already 1,75 tall, was discovered by photographer Herbert Tobias while she worked as a sales person at the KaDeWe department store. He supposedly gave her the nickname Nico after his lover, the Greek movie maker Nikos Papatakis. At first, she called herself both Christa Nico and Nico Otzak, but settled for Nico. The modelling career soon set off for the statuesque brunette-turned-blonde, which allowed her to work in Berlin, Paris, London and Rome. Already in the late 1950s she had an unprecedented modelling career for a German (with a contract with the Eileen Ford Agency), which enabled her to buy a house for her mother (already suffering from Parkinson's) on Ibiza in 1962. And it was in Rome where she had her first movie appearance as 'Nico' in Federico Fellini's 'La dolce vita'. In 1959 she moved to Paris where she had an affair with Alain Delon and in 1962 gave birth to her only son, the troubled Ari Boulogne whose father never acknowledged him.
In London she met Brian Jones and recorded her first single Nico (3) - I'm Not Sayin / The Last Mile, produced by Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham. While modeling in New York, Bob Dylan introduced her to Andy Warhol and The Velvet Underground. She sang three songs on the Velvet Underground's debut LP and played roles in several Warhol films. Following the release of her debut album, Nico (3) - Chelsea Girl, her friend Jim Morrison encouraged her to write her own material.
She toured extensively in Europe, United States, Australia, and Japan in the 1980's. After a concert in Berlin in June 1988, she went on holiday in Ibiza to rest. There she fell dead off a bicycle while taking a ride. At the time it happened, the story was that she was already dead from a stroke (brain hemmorhage) falling off the bike, whereas the narrative nowadays has been changed to "an accident" after which she died. Her ashes are buried at Friedhof Grunewald-Forst in Berlin at a place historically known as "Cemetery of the Unknown" or "The Suicide Cemetery".

Anyone know if there is a single on vinyl of "Sixty Forty" (60 40)? If not, what is the best release/recording of this track?
