Can Prince Play....

Can Prince play...the harmonica?

Was just listening to good old Stevie Wonder over the last hour. I'm now wondering out of all the instruments Prince has played over the years whether he's managed to master the harmonica? Don't think I've heard it in any of his tracks yet...

I know it's a piddling question, but hey, humour me!

I don't believe there's any evidence of him mastering the instrument.

He plays it on the 12" of 'Raspberry Beret'.

Otherwise, I understood the harmonica on 'Thieves In the Temple' was a sample and Sheryl Crow plays on 'Baby Knows'

Thanks Langebleu, I didn't think he played it.

If he mastered it, just think how all the soulful sounds he could produce from it - ahhh beautiful...

Was that definetly Prince playing harmonica on the Raspberry Beret 12"? Although Im probably just imagining it doesnt he play harmonica during 'If I had a Harum' on the Lovesexy Live vol.2 video? I think I probably just imagined it and will have 2 have another look!

It's a fair point - I don't think Prince is credited anywhere on Raspberry Beret with the harmonica, so it's quite possible it's someone else. As for 'If I Had A Harem', Prince plays just the guitar throughout.
