Screamin' Jay Hawkins
Jul 18, 1929 - Feb 12, 2000 (70 years old) in Cleveland, Ohio, USA
Jalacy "Screamin' Jay" Hawkins 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" (1956), he sometimes used macabre props onstage, making him an early pioneer of shock rock.
