Jalacy J. Hawkins’ wild songs and onstage theatrics of his self-created brand of voodoo jive earned him the name Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. His act has often featured him emerging from a casket to sing his best-known hit, “I Put a Spell on You” (1956), carrying a skull smoking a cigarette. He is considered the first true “shock-rocker,” with his onstage antics.

Very strange antics from this man, but I suppose that's why he's so loved.

I first heard of him through a Levi 501s TV ad in the early 90s. (Heart Attack & Vine was the track used.)

I heard of Screamin' Jay Hawkins after "Frenzy" was used in an episode of the X-Files called "Humbug" (year '94-'95)

I can't remember how I discovered Jay, but it was definitely long before I had heard him on a film soundtrack.
