Meade Lux Lewis vs Jimmy Yancey. Who played the Yancey Special? Meade Lux Lewis composed the song as a tribute to Jimmy Yancey in 1936. No one knew Jimmy Yancey until Yancey Special came out. Then Yancey played his own version years later. The styles are very different if you listen to Meade Lux Lewis' edition from 1936. Nevertheless a groundbreaking song.
@cliffordrichards1 it's almost a direct quote from a numbskull bio about Jimmy in the "Six Roots Blues Pianists" sheet music book
