| - 'Rachel Humphreys:, was muse and lover to musician Lou Reed. Humphreys inspired lyrics, songs and artwork by Reed and accompanied him on tour during the mid-1970s. Humphreys was raised in Bridgeton, New Jersey, and San Antonio, Texas. She was a trans woman and reportedly of part Mexican Native descent. She and Reed met at a nightclub in Greenwich Village in New York; Reed was instantly attracted to her. Their relationship lasted from 1973 to 1977 and they lived together as a couple for a time. Humphrey and Reed's relationship is not well documented, but Humphreys is widely recognized as being the inspiration for the songs on the album Coney Island Baby. Together, they explored the boundaries of gender roles. Humphreys used both male and female pronouns at different times and both Reed and Humphreys enjoyed wearing each other’s clothes. Humphreys's role in Reed's life is subject to continuing interest from music and popular culture journalists. Humphreys died of AIDS in 1990 at age 37 at St. Clare's Hospital, New York City. (en)
