Remembering Screamin Jay Hawkins, born Jalacy Hawkins on July 18, 1929, in Cleveland, Ohio – he died on February 12, 2000. Hawkins was an American rhythm and blues musician, singer, songwriter 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. #screaminjayhawkins #blues #dimestoreradio | Dime Store Radio
