His song, also featuring a young Marvin Gaye on drums, was not only the first live non-studio musical recording to reach No.1 , it also made him the youngest solo performer to ever reach No.1, actually only 12 years old when the song was recorded. His song provides the theme for today’s blog and playlist, songs that feature the harmonica. Harmonica, also known as the French harp or mouth organ, is a free reed wind instrument used prominently in folk music, jazz, country, classical music, and rock. Stevie is highlighted in both his solo career as well as his collaborations with the likes of Dion Warwick, Elton John, Sting, Eurythmics, James Taylor, and even Snoop Dog and Jason Derulo, among many others. Artists with several songs on the list include: The Beatles with “Love Me Do,” “From Me To You,” “Should Have Known Better,” and “Rocky Racoon;” Led Zeppelin with “When the Levee Breaks,” “Bring It On Home,

Spoiler (Highlight to read) Hair, it's part of our bodies but a different kind of body part.  It grows forever or vanishes completely. Sometimes it gets frizzy in the rain.   It can turn colors by itself even without our help.  Other body parts don't do those things (we hope).   How many songs can we come up with that are about or mention hair?  I will start with the obvious, "Hair" from the musical and by the Cowsills.  Hair, it's part of our bodies but a different kind of body part.  It grows forever or vanishes completely.
