Ένας θρυλικός μπασίστας με ένα από τα πιο εμβληματικά μπάσα riff – στο Walk On The Wild Side, ο Herbie Flowers πέθανε σε ηλικία 86 ετών.
Η καριέρα του μοιάζει με αναφορά της δεκαετίας του εβδομήντα με το μπάσο του να αποτελεί βασικό μέρος των άλμπουμ που ηχογράφησαν οι David Bowie (Space Oddity κλπ), Lou Reed (Transformer), Nilsson (Schmilsson), Henry Mancini (Pink Panther), Sir Elton ( Burn Down the Mission), David Essex (Rock On – σε παραγωγή Jeff Wayne), Sir Paul Mac (Give My Regards to Broad Street), George Harrison (Somewhere in England), Ringo Starr.
