Royal Air Force vet (9 years)

Herbie Flowers


“Not many of us get our own entry in Wikipedia as Herbie did,” the family tribute continued. “Herbie’s musical contributions continued as he worked to involve children in music later in life. Herbie played a huge role in [his niece] Lorraine’s life as a substitute father. Herbie walked her down the aisle at our wedding. She loved him dearly. I was blessed to have known him. We’ll miss you Uncle Herbie! Rock on.”
Born Brian Keith Flowers in 1938, he first began his tenure as a tuba bandsman in the Royal Air Force in the 1950s, where he served for nine years. In the ’60s, Flowers cemented his reputation as a session bassist, working for record producers like Shel Talmy, Steve Rowland, Mickie Most and Tony Visconti. In 1969, he was one of the founding members of Blue Mink (which saw chart success through debut single “Melting Pot”) and played on Bowie’s self-titled album. Per BBC, he is thought to have contributed to more than 500 hit albums by the close of the ’70s.
