Even as far back as 1888, Duke brand cigarettes recognized the allure of this tiny instrument and featured it prominently in their Musical Instruments series. Its timeless appeal continues to resonate today. Sonny Boy Williamson's performance immortalized by Brian Foskett in 1964 showcased the raw power and emotion that can be unleashed from a harmonica.
