It was also ranked No. 313 on ''Rolling Stone'' magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. ==The original composition== Hawkins had originally intended to record "I Put a Spell on You" as "a refined love song, a blues ballad." However, the producer "brought in ribs and chicken and got everybody drunk, and we came out with this weird version... I don't even remember making the record. Before, I was just a normal blues singer. I was just Jay Hawkins. It all sort of just fell in place. I found out I could do more destroying a song and screaming it to death."〔( Julia Rubiner, ''Contemporary Musicians: Profiles of the People in Music, Volume 8'', Gale, 1992, p.117 )〕 Hawkins first recorded "I Put a Spell on You" during his stint with Grand Records in late 1955. However, that first version was not released at the time (it has since been reissued on Hawkins' UK Rev-Ola CD ''The Whamee 1953-55''). The following year, in 1956, Hawkins re-recorded the song for Okeh Records, and this is the version best associated with Hawkins. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「I Put a Spell on You」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
