Jay Hawkins

Jalacy Screamin Jay Hawkins (July 18, 1929 – February 12, 2000) was an American singer, songwriter, musician, and actor. Famed chiefly for his powerful, operatic vocal delivery and wildly theatrical performances of songs such as I Put a Spell on You, he sometimes used macabre props onstage, making him an early pioneer of shock rock.
