“I Put a Spell On You”: Nina Simone (1933-2003)
Nina Simone is one of my all time favorite singers, and this song is absolutely amazing. The raw power she expresses in her music is always so moving to listen to. I also love the string intro; it always moves my soul.
I just looked up the song and it’s actually originally by Jalacy “Screamin’ Jay” Hawkins (1929-2000). For some reason I thought it was originally by Nina Simone, but I’m glad I looked up the song so I could get my facts right. This is the original by Hawkins; it’s really good, I just listened to it.
