Harmonica virtuoso Tommy Morgan was born on this day in 1932. Easily the most versatile harmonica player in the world, Tommy harmonica playing has been featured in the soundtracks of hundreds of movies and television shows as well as appearing on hundreds of hit records. He's the harmonica player of choice for Quincy Jones, Henry Mancini, Brian Wilson, John Barry and more. He's got several solo albums available through his website that I recommend.
