Jalacy Hawkins, best known as Screamin' Jay Hawkins (July 18, 1929 February 12, 2000) was an African-American musician, singer, and actor. Famed chiefly for his powerful, operatic vocal delivery and wildly theatrical performances of songs such as I Put a Spell on You and Constipation Blues. Hawkins sometimes used macabre props onstage, making him the one of few original shock rockers. His most successful recording, I Put a Spell on You (1956), was selected as one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. According to the AllMusic Guide to the Blues, Hawkins originally envisioned the tune as a refined ballad. The entire band was intoxicated during a recording session where Hawkins screamed, grunted, and gurgled his way through the tune with utter drunken abandon. The resulting performance was no ballad but instead a raw, guttural track that became his greatest commercial success and surpassed a million copies in sales. The performance was mesmerizing, although Hawkins himself blacked out and was unable to remember the session. Afterward he had to relearn the song from the recorded version. Meanwhile the record label released a second version of the single, removing most of the grunts that had embellished the original performance; this was in response to complaints about the recording's overt sexuality. Nonetheless it was banned from radio in some areas. Soon after the release of I Put a Spell on You radio disc jockey Alan Freed offered Hawkins $300 to emerge from a coffin onstage. Hawkins accepted and soon created an outlandish stage persona in which performances began with the coffin and included gold and leopard skin costumes and notable voodoo stage props, such as his smoking skull on a stick named Henry and rubber snakes. These props were suggestive of voodoo, but also presented with comic overtones that invited comparison to a black Vincent Price.
