A music theory professor at the University of Iowa tweeted out the following: This is the first extended tertian harmony I ever learned, and to this day I still call it the "cheese dominant" or "Elton John dominant" rather than its proper name.

[For those who do not read music, this is an F chord with a G in the bass.)
An interesting thread followed. The chord is very common in soul music---some call it the "Motown V", the "soul dominant" or just the "soul chord." Some call it the Carole King chord and others "the '80s V chord".
As a kid I heard the E7#9 chord called "the Jimi Hendrix E" and I've heard the same thing as an adult. There's also "the Freddie King chord" (X X 12 11 9 12), used with great fanfare in "Hideaway." I don't remember too many other examples, though.
What about you?

G11 of G/F, I most associate that with part of the gospel music chords.

That's the 70s right there. I call it the Hall & Oates chord (check out 'She's Gone')

Funny you should mention "She's Gone." In the thread, someone posts a link to a journal article about pop music (in light of music theory) and has a lot to say about that song.

I downloaded Bucky Pizzarelli's 'A Pros Approach to Chord Melody' from the web, 6 - 8 tunes ( ballads + a couple of Bossas I havn't got to yet), this chords all over the place - I'll have to check when it was written.. Originally Posted by MarkRhodes

Mark Levine has called it the Carol King chord too. He also labels certain chords the Herbie Hancock chord (2 of those), the Kenny Barron chord, the Monk chord, Bill Evans chords (all stock rootless voicingings in 4 note close) ... the McCoy Tyner major chord and the Chick Corea major chord, also the Duke Ellington chord. In addition to those I personally have two chords nicknamed Keith Jarrett chords and also two Joe Sample nick named chords.

You should spell those out! Originally Posted by rintincop

Bb Db E G B D F Ab
Who owns that? Duke?

I've had a quick read through that article, even though I think the compulsion among academics to analyse and publish often overrides any actual utility the analysis may have. I wonder how much of the harmonic embellishments belong to the producers shining up the basic song? I think Arif Marden was in charge of the 'She's Gone' session and was responsible for the irresistable but completely over the top orchestral section which rises in half steps. Did George Martin smooth out some of the more awkward chord changes in early Lennon McCartney material?

Can't find it anymore but there was a video of Duke Ellington talking about "Cantoring" to build up an
audience before an act: a simple, repeating I- vi-ii-V chord vamp; "We want Ed-die."
What? No mention of the 'secret Carlos Santa Chord Progression.'
