Harp, the most celestial sound :)
There are so many examples, but check out...

1978 LOVE AND KISSES "You're the Most Precious Thing in My Life" (CASABLANCA)
1979 LIGHTNING "Disco Symphony" (CASABLANCA)
1980 PASSION "Don't Bring Back Memories" (PRELUDE)

Marcio, you forget Love and Kisses "I've found love" :D

StrataVarious would be at the top of my list. :) The harp soloist, Erica Goodman, receives special billing on the lp.

Bogie Nights - Heatwave (That's what we sang to the song, when feeling playful. BTW: What was that intro, with harp and jazzy feel all about?)

Could Heaven Ever Be Like This? - Idris Muhammed

Umm, I don't have the album in front of me but I believe Lovin' Is Really My Game also featured a harp.

I'm thinking of the opening of "Don't Take Away the Music" by Tavares. That's a harp!!!!!

Is that swirling sound on the beginning of KC's Get Down Tonight a harp?

No, Q. I read in the liner notes to the KC & SB's collection that it was actually a guitar part on tape that was sped up to create that opening unusual sounding opening.
