  • Jan Harpo Torsten Svensson, född 5 april 1950 i Stockholm, är en svensk artist som slog igenom 1973 med låten "Honolulu". Under 1970-talet hade han flera låtar på topplistor i såväl Sverige som utomlands, bland andra "Sayonara", "Moviestar" och "Horoscope". Svensson kallades Harpo efter Harpo Marx redan i barndomen, och det blev sedan hans artistnamn. Harpo gör fortfarande omkring 30–40 framträdanden om året i Tyskland där publiken förväntar sig att han skall uppträda barfota, och med en käpp försedd med en ringklocka, eftersom det var hans gimmick på 1970-talet. Under 2021 var han en av deltagarna i underhållningsprogrammet Så mycket bättre. (sv)
