| Most of the early discographies have listed Lafayette Leake on piano. This seems to stem from out-of-memory reports by Willie Dixon. Also Johnnie Johnson's statement that he had nothing to do with (the development of) Johnny B. Goode made the discographers believe that Johnson also had nothing to do with the recording of Johnny B. Goode. However, the session protocol filed for Union purposes clearly lists the personnel as given here. We accept that other experts disagree, specifically due to stylistic differences they hear. |
