This live performance of "I Put a Spell On You" by Screamin' Jay Hawkins jettisons the baritone sax that filths up the 1956 studio recording replacing it with a carnival-esque organ and Duane Eddy guitar.
That change takes away the nudie-mag bomp of the original but cranks up the song's late show histrionics.
Hawkins' woody baritone sounds great and his stage performance -- how we wish we'd been around to see the man at full power.
Now get yer creep on:
