Screamin’ Jay Hawkins – Because You’re Mine: Hits & Rarities – CD

Digipak

2 CD Set / 30 Songs. Hits & Rarities. Includes the Original Unreleased version of “I Put A Spell On You” and two previously unreleased tracks. Includes 15 tracks currently unavailable on CD & Vinyl . More than a “one hit wonder” Jalacy J. “Screamin’ Jay” Hawkins had a powerful, operatic vocal delivery married with raw Rhythm and Blues instrumental intensity. His wildly theatrical version of “I Put A Spell On You” made him a Rock & Roll legend. This album focuses on the previously long lost tracks that demonstrate “Spell” was just a small part of his palette.
