  Harp players I have heard live (which fit YOUR query)
1.  Little Walter.....2.........1961
2.  Rice Miller.......3.........1960
3.  Wilhemina Mae Thornton...2..1960
4.  Lazy Lester.......1.........1960
5.  Richard Newell....1.........1966
6.  Junior Wells......2.........1983 & 85
7.  Jimmy Reed........1.........1964
  All used amplification, but only #1 & 5 used very much. Thornton had the
best tone
Most of my "live" listening has been chromatic players....Oooh,
