Tommy Morgan, Prolific Film and TV Harmonicist, Dies at 89

Tommy Morgan — a prolific harmonicist in film and TV, who contributed to the scores and soundtracks of such projects as “Roots,” “Cool Hand Luke” and “The Shawshank Redemption” — died June 23 at the age of 89, HarmonicaUK reported.

“I met Tommy years ago at a SPAH convention. He knew of my name as a NYC Session Player so we immediately connected and stayed in touch by phone over the years, so it’s with great sadness I write these parting words,” Grammy-nominated harmonica player Rob Paparozzi, who considered Morgan a “mentor and a friend,” wrote. “The good news is, the permanent legacy he’s left us: 900 Movie Soundtracks and 7,030 recording sessions since the mid ’50s to 2013, when he befell a stroke and could no longer play.”
