When Jay Hawkins was thirteen years old, he used a forged birth certificate so he could enlist in the United States Army. In 1944, he joined the army Aire Force before he was honorably discharged eight years later. While serving in the military, he also took up boxing. He was good enough to become the middleweight boxing champion of Alaska in 1949....
In 1956, Jay Hawkins made his wildly outlandish impression with “I Put a Spell on You.” Originally, the song was supposed to be a ballad but the antics of Hawkins and his bandmates at that time recorded the song while under the influence of alcohol. The result was Hawkins a raw, guttural track that would become the most successful song in his caree...
From 1962 until 1971, Jay Hawkins called Hawaii his home. He later returned to New York City before moving to France in 1993. In the meantime, he set up his own publishing company that was sustained by the royalties “I Put a Spell On You” received each time it was covered by another recording artist. On a personal level, Hawkins married six times. ...
Despite the fact Jay Hawkins became successful with his shocking stage performance, it was something he personally felt served as a nemesis to his musical career. He wanted to be taken seriously as a balladeer. In an interview he had in 1973, he admitted the “Screamin'” monicker was never his intention to become part of his trademark as a vocalist....
1969’s “Constipation Blues” was performed by Jay Hawkins as a song sharing what it’s like to feel physical pain instead of purely emotional. It was his form of artistic expression as the first blues singer to lyrically perform material that no other blues artist had done before him. At concerts, he held in Chicago, Illinois, and Paris, France, Hawk...
“Ashes” was a 1962 song Jay Hawkins released as a fast-paced number that illustrated the man’s ability to sing out a tune just as well as he could scream it. His brand of humor also shines through as he attempted to win over the female vocalist’s heart with his unorthodox style. While he may have had trouble winning her over, this wasn’t a problem ...
Originally a Paul McCartney number from 1971, “Monkberry Moon Delight” was a song Jay Hawkins covered as a single in 1973. According to McCartney, his children referenced milk as a “monk” which served as an inspiration to create a song out of it. “Monkberry Moon Delight” was referenced as a fantasy milkshake to sip and enjoy. For Jay Hawkins, the s...
“Alligator Wine” was regarded as a humorous drinking song that was recorded and released by Jay Hawkins in 1958. Although the song didn’t nearly make as big of an impression as “I Put a Spell on You” it was enough to win over an appreciative audience. Apparently, taking blood out of the alligator, along with parts from a fish and frog, was the winn...
Released in 1957, “Frenzy” was a Jay Hawkins single that would later be featured on the 1996 compilation album, Songs in the Key of X: Music from and Inspired by the X-Files. It was one of the songs that appeared on the show’s second season episode, Humbug. In true Jay Hawkins style, the playfulness of his vocal talent turned “Frenzy” into a fast a...
“Sirens Burnin'” was a song that was featured in the 1990 horror film, Night Angel. Considered catchy and weird, this was a tune that not only served as a fitting number during the movie’s closing credits but as Jay Hawkins still demonstrated he was the screaming king of rock and roll for a reason.
