A member of The Velvet Underground experimental rock band (with John Cale), circa 1967, she made several solo albums during the 1970s.

On July 18, 1988, while bicycling in Ibiza, Spain, she suffered a minor heart attack which caused her to collapse and fall from her bicycle, resulting in a head injury that lead to her death.
