Screamin' Jay Hawkins (1929 - 2000)
Famed for his powerful and almost operatic vocal performances.
A former middleweight boxing champion of Alaska.
He transformed a refined ballad in a savage scream for lust by getting drunk during the recording session.
The performance ended with Hawkins blackout. He could'nt remember the session so had to relearn the song from the recorded version.
And thus, invented rock'n roll
