He *DID*??  I never knew that. Scary, indeed! | |

Although it's very short, Stevie's solo at the end of "If It's Magic". The pairing of the BIG harp of Dorthy Ashby with Stevie in this song was unusual and just right! | |

 to whoever said "There Must Be An Angel Playing With My Heart", and I'd also like to nominate U2's "Running to Stand Still", because the harmonica solo in that song is heartbreaking.I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |

Marvin's "Third World Girl" had some good harmonica in it.  | |

So, nobody here has heard of Larry Adler?
He was a master of the harmonica for over 60 years and widely acknowledged as one of the world's most skilled harmonica players. He worked with everyone from Kate Bush, to Ralph Vaughn Williams to George Gershwin himself. In 1994 for his 80th birthday Adler, along with George Martin (yes, that George Martin), produced an album of George Gershwin covers, 'The Glory of Gershwin', on which Adler and Martin performed 'Rhapsody in Blue'. Adler was a great showman and a most entertaining performer. He enjoyed telling outrageously corny jokes in his concerts, as he showed in those to promote his 'Glory of Gershwin' album. The concerts also revealed that he was a competent pianist, when he opened each performance with Gershwin's 'Summertime', playing piano and harmonica simultaneously. A true master. | |

The track that came immediately to mind is Steve Forbert's "It Isn't Gonna Be That Way". Just unique and beautiful (and a great song, to boot). Of course there's a lot of harmonica on Springsteen records and I would describe the playing on "Blood Brothers" as gorgeous. |
