'fore I go any further, I jes' wanna say this is a great idea for a thread...

why didn't I think of it...?!

Thanks.

And an official, hearty "thank you" to you and everybody else who's so far contributed to it.

I wanna throw Chaka Khan's "I Feel For You" single into the mix, but the instrumental solo in that sounds more like it's done on a(n) harmonica, to me.
