Hi Tom,
I read that the term mouthorgan is also used in the english language, but I wasn’t sure if this is common, thanks now I know. I’m not that familiar with The Lovin’ Spoonful either (except the known hits), but sure they played the blues with the harmonica.
Here is another title that is said to be one of the masterpieces on the harmonica: J. Geils Band was an American blues rock/rhythm and blues group formed in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1967. They thrived in the 1970s with their R&B sound before embracing a more pop-oriented sound after joining EMI America Records in 1978 (wiki)

J Geils started out as hard blues and then went kind of glam-pop i think.

Speaking of the blues here’s a classic one that probably shaped the harmonica blues: John Lee “Sonny Boy” Williamson I. was an American blues musician and harmonica player. Williamson established the harmonica as a melody instrument in the blues and is considered the “father of the modern blues harp”. His style has influenced many blues musicians including Billy Boy Arnold, Sonny Terry and Muddy Waters. In the 1940s he was so popular that blues musician Aleck “Rice” Miller called himself Sonny Boy Williamson II (wiki)

And also a legend on the harmonica: Howard Levy, an American harmonica player and pianist who was born on July 31, 1951 in Brooklyn NY.

The „Italo-Wild West Movie“ without a harmonica? Unthinkable 😀

„Schnuckelpferd“ Productions: 😄 Tom that’s a funny title/term. But seriously: I’ve never seen Ian Anderson playing with a harmonica only with his flute (That’s Ian, right?). Good finding, thanks.
How about this one?
