The Gene Redd chord argument
I came to this page to learn a bit more about this and wish I'd found more. My best guess is that they're talking about the main D to G vamp, in which Brown plays E over the D chord. It's obviously "correct" and Gene Redd was obviously nuts, but I'd like to see citations confirming that this was the part being argued about and showing the precise voicing. When I heard it in the car I got all excited, thinking it was a D2 chord (a D chord with E, but not a D7) and that it was Brown hearing that now-common pop chord before its time, but now I'm starting to think that his right hand is playing something more like F#-C-E, which would just be a normal D9 that would be stylistically standard for jazz, blues, or gospel - in which case, Redd's complaint makes no sense whatsoever. So in summary - can anyone transcribe the precise piano voicing and/or cite more info on the famous disagreement (which seems to have been a significant catalyst in a veritable war between Brown and King Records). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kevintimba (talk • contribs) 20:27, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
