Jalacy J. "Screamin' Jay" Hawkins (July 18, 1929 - February 12, 2000) was an American singer-songwriter, musician, actor, film producer and boxer. Famed chiefly for his powerful, shouting vocal delivery and wildly theatrical performances of songs such as "I Put a Spell on You", he sometimes used macabre props onstage, making him an early pioneer of shock rock. He received a nomination for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Male for his performance in the 1989 indie film Mystery Train...
