yeah one of my all time favourites.. what a performer.. apparently john lennon heard this (he was getting imported vinyl from the US off a guy who had contacts on the cruise ships going to and from NYC to Liverpool and he was totally inspired by it !! (John went to the same school as I did in Liverpool).. In fact the film (Nowhere Boy) about John's early life as a teen at Quarry Bank makes a direct reference to john getting hold of Screamin Hawkins records ;)
Screamin' Jay Hawkins
God that is some good stuff, listening to this is like a drug!
