His bizarre showmanship and on-stage theatrics were a shot in the arm to early rock 'n' roll and a far cry from the comparatively restrained rebellion involved in doing "the Twist." His primitive version of rock consisted of spare instrumentation and manic booming vocals that spouted off about spell-casting, alligators, demons and -- of course -- constipation. His theatrics involved rising out of a casket at each performance, maintaining a friendship with a smoking human skull, and other general voodoo-isms. His campy schtick has landed him a secure place in the annals of rock while also securing a string of followers in bands like The Cramps or the Demolition Doll Rods. - Jon Pruett'50s Rock 'n' Rollen720Tue, 8 Dec 2009 18:15:42 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.43247&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fscreamin-jay-hawkins%2Fplaylists.rss Former Alaskan middleweight Screamin' Jay Hawkins popped up in the late '50s as the polar opposite of such comparably family-oriented rock 'n' roll fare as Fats Domino or Chubby Checker.
