The one beat chromatic passing chord (G#) has a dissonant sound as
the organ holds the G-chord throughout the bar.
No doubt Missy held out against more scholarly producers advising
her to change it to a dominant in first inversion (E7/G#).
Also note that this chord in the original key would be B# but it is
doubtful anyone would not refer to it as C.
