It sucks doubly to lose 2 such talented men! Larry Shell The Jersey Wildcat!!! R&B Musician Screamin' Jay Hawkins Dies at 70 PARIS (Reuters) - U.S. rhythm and blues musician Screamin' Jay Hawkins, famous for performing his trademark voodoo-inspired blues lying in a coffin, has died in Paris at age 70, local media said on Saturday. Hawkins, who scored his biggest hit in the 1950s with his hollering rendition of "I Put A Spell On You,'' died in a hospital after suffering a hemorrhage following an operation on an intestinal obstruction. He sang and played the piano and tenor sax, and cultivated a reputation for outrageousness with stage outfits of gold and leopardskin and props including a smoking skull called "Henry." He was born Jalacy Hawkins on July 18, 1929, in Cleveland, Ohio. According to published accounts, he spent the first 18 months of his life in an orphanage before being adopted by a tribe of Blackfoot Indians. "I came into this world black, naked and ugly. And no matter how much I accumulate here, it's a short journey. I will go out of this world black, naked and ugly. So I enjoy life,'' he told one interviewer. An early musical talent, Hawkins joined the army aged 14 and won several middleweight boxing titles before joining the army's entertainment unit. He got his start in show business in the early 1950s playing with jazz and R&B musician Tiny Grimes and NYC-was said to have played briefly with Fats Domino, before getting fired for trying to upstage the singer onstage. Legend has it that Hawkins earned his own nickname from an obese lady he met in a nightclub, who was downing scotch and exhorted him to "Scream, baby, scream!.'' Hawkins went on to cult fame with hits like "Constipation Blues'' and in later life found a second career as a movie actor after director Jim Jarmusch hired him to star in "Mystery Train'' in 1989. He never realised his lifelong ambition of singing an opera. The globe-trotting musician was living in a Paris suburb at the time of his death. 02/12/00 / 14:28 PM EST ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2000 17:52:51 EST From: APiandes@aol.com Subject: Snow Day Hello BOMP!ers.

At present we're hitting around five hundred Bompcentric links and I reckon that someday soon I'm gonna have to get out the ole pruning shears. Quality vs. Quantity and all that tosh. This time round we have quite a few additions in the Internet Radio section, and btw it was pleasant to hear Alex give a plug for his garage radio colleagues on Saturday morning, so check some of them out people. All of the links are working OK with the exception of a few 404 error messages which I shall keep checking for a few more days and delete midweek if they persist. These include the pages for SAWNEY BEAN and THE BASKERVILLES so if the gentlemen involved in those two projects want to get back with the corrects URLs then e-mail me off-list.
