February 12, 1956 – “Screamin'” Jay Hawkins

February 12, 1956 – “Screamin'” Jay Hawkins records “I Put A Spell On You” which he had recorded the year before as a refined love song. According to Hawkins, the producer “brought in ribs and chicken and got everybody drunk, and we came out with this weird version … I don’t even remember making the record.” Despite its popularity, the single never charted. #ROCkabillyHop #ScreaminJayHawkins #IPutASpellOnYou #RocHop #OTD #RockNRoll
