+Marc Sins I think he had a great following not necessarily the mainstream audiences perhaps, but he certainly wasn't shoved under the rug as he performed on a number of t.v. shows.
I left my office and was driving down the street in Solana Beach in 1999 and saw on the marquee at the Belly Up Tavern "Tonight - Screamin' Jay Hawkins", but I had plans so I passed it by and been kicking my self ever since. You see, it had been 41 years earlier that I last saw him perform: as the only white kid in the audience in the Uptown Theater in West Philly (it was another time then and most of my friends were black so; never felt out of place). I still remember him coming on-stage from the right, wearing a red-lined black cape and carrying a long Gris-Gris stick with a skull on the end! Everybody was absolutely still but by the middle of the song (What song? What song do you think!) we were all up shouting... Everybody that came after him, from James Brown on, owe this man a debt 'cause he broke down the door for performance-art-meets-R-'n-B -meets-Rock-'n-roll.
A one off! Brilliant voice. Unique artist and very very weird! Always had excellent musicians with him. Definitely didn't take himself too seriously. Love him !
In my eyes, he's not only one of the greatest Blues singers, but perhaps (probably) the father of the Psycho-Billy movement.... He's a demolishing singer, and his understanding of appropriate screaming is beyond comparison... A fucking genius - pure and simple.
Wikipedia called him possibly the world's first "shock rocker." After seeing a couple performances of him doing "I Put a Spell on You"- (1956) I agree! He predates everybody I can think of, like Alice Cooper, etc.
He definitely is the daddy of horror rock u never seen anyone else with bones in there noses using voodoo dolls n crazy clothes back than he was wild he even said he thinks he has 50 children he must been getting hella puss
I had never heard of him before. Until I saw 9-year-old Angelina Jordan's tribute "I put a spell on you" on YT. She paid tribute to him with her version and was closer to the original than any other cover. He deserved this song to be ranked in the top 500 of all time.
Walking history! Good storyteller and one of the most original musicians. Those screams would have lifted our diseased minds in this covid19 time. One scream and all fears would disappear.
This dude is wild as Fuck .... he sure is is this is what I was this is what I was as younger man a barbarian all day long you had that you had to watch out for your daughter and wives and they loved it and they all loved it
Var har dom varit i hela mitt liv? Han dök upp i mitt flöde inatt och jag visste inte de fanns! Helgalen man, så rolig och sån musik! Vilka musiker, jag älskar saxofonen! Jag är 75 år och har hört mycket bra musik i mitt liv, dansat och spelat, men detta fick genast en plats i mitt hjärta!
I saw him live in 1985 in a venue on Sunset Strip in L.A, He came out in a coffin with skulls, canes etc. There were lots of young babes in the audience up the front of the stage, absolutely captivated by him and his presence. I called my buddy in London from the payphone in the club so he could hear him as we were both huge fans and before mobiles! I remember thinking that he could take his pick of the girls in the club and who knows he might have. Great performer.
Maravilloso artista!!! Un cantante original y con una voz privilegiada. Sus interpretaciones aon simplemente sensacionales. Me fascino su Estilo y su forma de cantar... sencillamente un grande!!!
I've been a screaming Jay Hawkins fan every since I was a little kid I just love his songs in his voice he could have done opera too he was a good actor also he paid the was for groups like kiss twisted sister Alice Cooper Ozzy the list goes on he will be missed by his fans exspcaially me
His a legend,a gifted artistes, he combines great music,voice, meaningful lyrics with satyric taste and comedy acts.I would be a good member to the places he performed.Much respect for you sir🤘🤘🤘
I SIMPLY LOVE HIM...GREAT AT 360°!!! I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY I DIDN'T DISCOVERED THIS MAN EARLIER...I MEAN I UNDERSTAND BUT MAKE ME TIREEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDD AND WEEAAKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!
he answers a lifelong conundrum in this great tune... no sorry he fails to answer it.... pure brilliant... cause there is no answer ... we all have our opinions but the magic of the lyrics is that the situation is the pivot of the song
The most under-rated musician of history
true

Marc Sins along with Zappa
Marc Sins hollering J concert 99
Maluma, bad bunny, and the others "traperos" is the biggest shit on the world
Crazy that his voice stayed so amazing over the 50+ years that he performed
I just discovered him about a week ago. This man is awesome! Very underrated
I'm just diving full into him, better late than never right? He has his spell on me permanently!
I only found out about him in like 2000 cause I was curious about the musicians and bands that influenced the cramps. Great stuff
I think Screaming Jay Hawkins was 70 right here. He died just a month and a half later. He looks so much younger than that, and healthy!

@@radwhack1 A fabulous encounter with an original. Thanks for sharing your story!

I wish Screamin' Jay Hawkins had never passed away =(. The world lost one hell of a performer when he died.
+TheRedNeckGamer777 When did he die?
+gossamerwings Screamin' Jay Hawkins died on February the 18th, 2000 of an aneurysm.
+TheRedNeckGamer777 Thanks for the info.
gossamerwings Anytime =).

Великий певец! При всех его прибамбасах он пел лучше всех современных нам певцов.
Обожаю!
The first ever theatrical performer in rock n roll and blues and r&b.
That would have been Charlie Patton.
@@dylanwylde4093 the first good*
same voice until he died what a king!!!!
Any one of screamin jays live shows seem to be some of the best performances in music history

"I Put a Spell on You"- (1956) I agree! He predates everybody I can think of, like Alice Cooper, etc.
the master of horror rock!
Crazy as Fuck ,Watch out Ladies and Girls , There's probable one of these guys in your neighborhood now looking for you. !!!!!!!!!
Underrated genius! 🥰👻👻
I saw him live in Germany. I never thought of him as a shock rocker. I recognized him as a clown. And a funny and nice person.

He also wanted to sing opera. He would of of killed it, it would of never been the same.
I totally agree Luke- he looks like he's in his forties! Love his hair too.
Me too!!
What a performer
How in the world 🌎 that this dude is not famous
He once punched a record company guy in the nose!
@@trailblazing2576 😳😄😄
Agree fully. I’m trying to share his stuff on social media but… lol, well you know people are mostly drawn to what’s familiar to them.
Единственный в своём роде! Уникальный талант!!!!
That voice is BB King meets Rick James meets Levy Stubbs with some Baptist preacher sprinkled on top. love this guy
ESPETACULAR
In his last years he had more power and voice than most of the punk rockers.
I wished him to be my daddy nothing more nothing less
Yeaaahhhhh❤❤❤❤❤
I love screaming Jay
