God bless your soul Jay Hawkins
The best version of one of the greatest songs in rock history!
This is a very deeply psychologically disturbing experience.....and I like it.
Houba, houba, houba! What more is there to say? The man was a genius.
absolutely!
It seems to me that this is such sarcasm, a personal look at love, he felt it this way and conveyed these feelings to us, it’s so real, who really loved will understand, and who loved, but they didn’t love him, he knew for a long time
Fantastic JAY HAWKINS !!!
From a contemporary review of SJH by George Starostin:
"Not only do they not make men like these any more, but they really didn’t make that much of them in the mid-20th century either. Indeed, what kind of music would you expect from an African-American born in Cleveland, adopted and raised by Blackfoot Indians, who studied classical piano and blues guitar, wanted to become an opera singer, but instead became the middleweight boxing champion in the state of Alaska, and opened his performances jumping out of a coffin in a leopard-skin costume?"
What a life! And this was only the beginning.
He sounds creepier than every metal singer nowadays
