Single track download, Screamin' Jay Hawkins - I Put A Spell On You

MUAHAHAHA.... Screamin' Jay Hawkins was..um... an eccentric man, who wore outlandish outfits, (Leopardskin and red leather were a favourite combo from the 1940's on) claimed to practice voodoo and carried a skull named Henry on stage with him every time he sprang from his casket to perform his amazing music. His "I Put a Spell on You" (1956) remains rock and roll's most singular recording, and was selected as one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. The song sets...

Singles 1954-1957 is a comprehensive collection of the early, pre-debut LP singles from one of the most controversial frontmen of early rock and roll, Screamin' Jay Hawkins. With his classically-trained bass-baritone singing voice, he conjured up morbid imagery both on stage and on his records. Hawkins, evoking voodoo images and using bone-rattling sound effects, simultaneously entertained and bewildered rock'n'roll fans. Featuring his all-time classic "I Put A Spell On You" along with 15 hard to...
