reed's commercial breakthrough album, "transformer", was released in november 1972. "transformer" was co-produced by david bowie and mick ronson, and it introduced reed to a wider audience, especially in the uk. the single "walk on the wild side" was a salute to the misfits and hustlers who once surrounded andy warhol in the late '60s and appeared in his films. each of the song's five verses describes a person who had been a fixture at the factory during the mid-to-late 1960s: (1) holly woodlawn, (2) candy darling, (3) "little joe" dallesandro, (4) "sugar plum fairy" joe campbell and (5) jackie curtis. the song's transgressive lyrics evaded radio censorship. though the jazzy arrangement (courtesy of bassist herbie flowers and saxophonist ronnie ross) was musically atypical for reed, it eventually became his signature song. it came about as a result of a commission to compose a soundtrack to a theatrical adaptation of nelson algren's novel of the same name; the play failed to materialize. "walk on the wild side" was reed's only entry in the "billboard" hot 100 singles chart, at number 16.
