  • They Say...

    A Screamin' Jay Hawkins live recording doesn't equal being there, but it gives you an idea of the zany, bizarre persona that made the late Cleveland, Ohio native legendary. Hawkins, whose real name is Jalacy, performs a slew of remakes including ghoulish renditions of the Isley Brothers' "Shout," Bobby Day's "Itty Bitty One," Fats Domino's "Please Don't Leave Me," and Eugene Church's "Pretty Girls Everywhere." But most of the tracks derived from Hawkins' notion, lotion, and potions' school of composition and possess screamish titles like "Bite It," "Constipation Blues," and "I Put a Spell on You." It helps to vision Hawkins' stalking on a stage with an opened coffin when you listen to this CD.
