There have been many great songs in the Rock n' Roll era that begin with harmonica solos. What are some of your favorites?
I'll start with "And When I Die" by Blood, Sweat, and Tears from 1969.

Springsteen’s Thunder Road. Two Billy Joel songs kinda qualify... Piano Man starts with a few piano notes then a harmonica solo and the video version of You're Only Human has a harmonica start. Supertramp's Take the Long Way Home is another with a short keyboard intro, then here comes the harmonica.

I believe the single version of "Piano Man" would qualify because it cuts out the piano part at the beginning. |

Is Billy Joel the king of harmonica solo beginnings? Or is it Stevie Oneder I mean Wonder? |

How about--Good Girls Don't by the Knack. (although I think Frustrated wouldn't have been a better follow up to their #1 smash, My Sharona).
