OK, more 50's: Arguably one of the first, if not THE first "Shock-Rock" performer, "Screamin' " Jay Hawkins penned and performed this blues classic in '56. His version failed to chart but Nina Simone's cover hit #23 in '65 and CCR's peaked at #58. One of The Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame's 500 Songs That Shaped R&R and #313 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs Of All time. Bette Midler sang it on "Hocus Pocus". KILLER version by Casey Abrams on "Idol" a few weeks ago.
