Screamin' Jay Hawkins - I Put A Spell On You

Happy Halloween folks!  We continue our Halloween tradition this year by listening to Screamin' Jay Hawkins' song 'I Put A Spell On You'.  Originally meant to be a Blues style ballad a night of heavy drinking made this song into one of the earliest examples of what we now know as Shock Rock. We discuss covers of this song by Creedence Clearwater Revival, Annie Lennox, Nina Simone and Bette Midler as well and discuss the similarities, differences and which versions we like best.  Thanks for listening!
