    I love Annie Lennox and the version she did of this song … an even better rendition is by Nina Simone … but its a song that’s been remade a hundred times since it first came out in 1956.

    The hilarious part is how its become a tragic sultry love song … when the original was created as some crazy over the top song

    The original is a creepy wild creation by Screamin Jay Hawkins in 1956

    If any version of the song is great … it’s the original with Hawkins … he’s definitely put a spell on me and everyone who ever watched his performance
