“I Put A Spell On You” (CCR) #58 12/28/1968

We close out 1968 with CCR’s followup to “Susie Q,” a cover of a 1956 Screamin’ Jay Hawkins tune that stayed pretty true to the original. As always, great lead guitar from John Fogerty. Screamin’ Jay once did a song called “Constipation Blues” because no one ever made a blues song about REAL pain; he’d perform it live while on a toilet. Uhhhh, yeah. Creedence’s next single defined their career.
