    This guy is amazing. He is using elements of Japanese Kabuki Theatre, opera training and slapstick. I saw him perform in a small club on Haight St. in San Francisco one Halloween Night. It was a riot. Smoke bombs. The police came. They started dancing. Women with black eyes. Crazy. Gonzo. Holy. It was the ultimate spiritual experience. We loved you, SJH. We loved you.

    Some background on this compelling, one-of-a-kind performer: Born and raised in Cleveland, Hawkins studied classical piano as a child and learned guitar in his twenties. His initial goal was to become an opera singer (Hawkins has cited Paul Robeson as his musical idol in interviews), but when his initial ambitions failed he began his career as a conventional blues singer and pianist. Hawkins was an avid and formidable boxer. In 1949, he was the middleweight boxing champion of Alaska. When Hawkins became a solo performer, he often performed in a stylish wardrobe of leopard skins, red leather and wild hats. Hawkins' most successful recording, "I Put A Spell On You" (1956), was selected as one of The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame's 500 songs that shaped the world" Died in France February 12, 2000.

    In one performance he channels classical tenor, tribal chant, bebop scat, garbeling, and arena rock screams so seamlessly that the sharp differences between them vanish and it becomes something pure, free, shocking and amazing.

    Seven years ago, 9-year old Norwegian child prodigy Angelina Jordan honored Screamin' Jay Hawkins with her jaw-dropping version of his song in the B&W film by Per Heimly. In the opening sequence, she is holding a candle with his picture on it. This video has received millions of views and is the one most reacted to on UA-cam. Angelina won Norway's Got Talent singing jazz classics at 7 years old! She was invited to sing at America's Got Talent The Champions 2020 when she was 13 and wowed the judges and the audience with her own unique version of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. Heidi Klum gave her the Golden Buzzer. The remaining musicians in Queen were amazed and gave her her own copyright for her unique version of their song. Angelina has covered classics, old and new, with her own jazzy spin on them. She was signed by Republic Records at 14. She continues to astound all who listen to her, including many in the music industry.

    I did a gig with him in London years ago.. Met him backstage before we played support.. He was scary to say the least.. Big man.. Imposing.. Didn't say much.. Looked about 9 foot tall, hands like shovels.. My hand disappeared into his when we shook them after we played.. He loved my harmonica playing ... Phew! Nice man when he relaxed around u.. As a performer he was a joy to watch.. A legend to be sure, in a class of his own...
