Herbie's steps in music are very closely related to Van Morrison. It starts in 1964 when Herbie and Van played together in The Manhattan Showband and in Brian Rossi and the Golden Eagles. Van Morrison left to form Them, and asked Herbie to go with him, but Herbie stayed instead but they were re-united when Them stopped and Van starts making soloalbums. In the 70's and 80's Herbie plays on Van Morrison's albums. Herbie also played in Fox. They had hits in the 70's with "Only You Can", "Imagine Me, Imagine You" and "He's got Magic".
