Reply to comment by gldmj5 in I Put A Spell On You (1958) by Screamin' Jay Hawkins is one of the most ahead-of-it's-time recordings ever. by Okaybrothatsdope

I could not disagree more. I feel like CCR completely missed the emotional power of the original. Their rhythm section was not up to the groove of it at all and Fogerty sounds like he’s doing a bad Howlin’ Wolf impression.

If you like this cover, you should hear the Rolling Stones do “My Girl” that’ll knock your socks off.

Good thing that's just an opinion.

Yes, because there’s no such thing as knowledge, research or facts. Which is also good because that way there’s no such thing as idiots.
