"Do Wah Ditty" by Zapp put it to good use.

Go down to the twenty second track and hear for yourself-->

Ok, even I cringe a little bit at listing this but... I have no shame.

"Never Let Me Down" David Bowie (from the Glass Spider album). Those harmonica riffs get stuck in my head.

Nine Below Zero - "Eleven Plus Eleven" (and tons of other songs, harmonica is probally in every single song of theirs).

Not NW but that Blues Traveler.

I liked their performance at the end of Kingpin.

Lotsa Stevie Wonder stuff

Herbie Hancock had Stevie play harmonica on his Man-Child LP as well.
