    This IS why I love the blues. The blues is just as dark and brutal as heavy metal.

      The Beatles have a couple of song that really prove that point. Specifically, I'm talking about Yer Blues and I Want You (She's so Heavy)

      Understatement. This guy made melodic screaming "the thing". No body was doing it like THIS till Screaming jay came along. Frank Zappa once said that Screaming Jay actually freaked people out with his screaming and that Johnny Guitar Watson had hands down the most evil and sinister tone in blues guitar.

    FUN FACT: Not only is this the ORIGINAL recording of the song, but it was meant to be more sentimental and soft, but everyone at set that day including Jay and his band gotten extremely drunk, this lead to the recording becoming more loud and spooky, this gave birth to Jay's "Voodoo Personality" and allowed him to be the father of "Shock Rock"

    From wiki: Hawkins had originally intended to record "I Put a Spell on You" as "a refined love song, a blues ballad". However, the producer (Arnold Maxin) "brought in ribs and chicken and got everybody drunk, and we came out with this weird version ... I don't even remember making the record. Before, I was just a normal blues singer. I was just Jay Hawkins. It all sort of just fell in place. I found out I could do more destroying a song and screaming it to death.

      @@michaelryan9311 No, this is from 1956- hers was from 1964. There are so many covers of this song- even a huge hit for Creedence. There is only one nuclear version.
      A lot of musicians tell tales about how they came up with a monster hit by accident- fooling around in the studio for 15 minutes- one take- etc. Some may be half true, but there are no real accidents in music. Also, I think when you go as big and heavy as he does here you may need the "drunk" backstory and the comic voodoo fillers as a defense mechanism. Jimi pulled off the most intense apocalyptic blues usually affecting an offhand manner, fooling around with lyrics, dressed up as Little Richard. You have to sing Vesti La Giuba in a clown suit...

      More than that. I was a kid on the loose in the 50s and people were different and just didn’t even imagine how dull and restrictive life could be.

    I saw Screamin' Jay Hawkins in a small theatre club in Manchester in 1965. He put on one hell of a show! My friend was reluctant to come with me, because the club was better known for putting on strip shows, but he was glad I persuaded him to come see a master showman.

    Screamin' Jay Hawkins was one of those rare artists that didn't give a shit about what people thought. He was just doing his thing, and I love it!

      @@pierresiry1039 yep. You should hear some quotes from the leader of Led Zep about his beloved Satan. Also they sung stairway to heaven. Have you heard it backwards? The pictures they use on their album are angels falling. A fallen Angel isn’t a good one. They signed blood contracts for their fame and popularity.
      I mean these things are confirmed and weren’t don’t but accident friend. That’s pretty dark if you ask me. Of course not to Hollywood and show biz. That’s normal to them. Whatever to make money. If you have no morals Hollywood and show biz are the best places to be. Good day to you sir!
