I don't think the "old masters" had an exclusive on soul.  

In my experience, for every one musician I've met who wanted to be a 
superstar I've met a thousand who wanted to play their music to an 
audience.  And there's nothing wrong with wanting to reach the 
broadest audience possible, and to be able to make a living doing 
something you love, something that comes from the soul.

I think you'd have a hard time finding very many harmonica players who 
think their music is their ticket to fame and fortune.
