On THE VELVET UNDERGROUND, Doug Yule sings "Candy Says", and as far as I
know, "Jesus" (although he is not creditted with it the VU box set notes,
so I could be wrong). Everyone sings on "The Murder Mystery".
On LOADED, Doug sings "Who Loves the Sun", "New Age", "Oh! Sweet Nothin'",
"Lonesome Cowboy Bill", and "I Found a Reason" (except for the spoken
middle section, which is Lou). I think that's it.

On a related note, who sings what on _Live: 1969_? Sounds to me like it's all
Lou...

Doug sings "Candy Says", "Jesus" (with Lou), parts of "The Murder
Mystery". Maureen sings "After Hours".
Loaded:
Doug sings "Who Loves The Sun", "New Age", "Oh! Sweet Nuthin'" (with
Lou).
All others are by Lou, except for Sterling's parts on "The Murder
Mystery".

Nope. That's Doug singing lead.
