Recently listening some to Screamin' Jay Hawkins - much better than you'd think.

An Encyclopedia.com entry says he: Recorded with Rolling Stone Keith Richards, 1979, 18th December: SCREAMING JAY HAWKINS. New York City, Blue Rock Sudio. Producer: Allan Schwartzberg. I Put A Spell On You (Jalacy Hawkins) Armpit #6 (Jalacy Hawkins) Line-up: KR (gtr)/Screaming Jay Hawkins (voc)/all other musicians not identified

and secondly, that he opened for the Rolling Stones, 1980; and was on Atlantic under Ahmet Ertegun (which is true)

2. There were NO Stones dates in 1980. Is opening for the Stones pure internet crap or is there a kernel of truth in this or is it completely made up? If anybody knows, would like to hear about it.

MSG - 12 & 13 November 1981

Looks more like a nzentgraf.de-entry to me.

I have a short interview fragment of a French fan who asked Keith Richards (in Paris, 1985) about playing on I Put A Spell On You and KR couldn't remember playing on this track. He said he plays on another one, but can't remember the title of it either.
But I'm quite positive that his guitar can be heard on both tracks of that single.

They had an issue with James Brown (I think $$$) and got him at the last second. I was there of course.

Stolen from NZENTGRAF for sure:
791218A 18th December:
SCREAMING JAY HAWKINS. New York City, Blue Rock
Studio. Producer: Allan Schwartzberg.
- I Put A Spell On You (Jalacy Hawkins)
- Armpit #6 (Jalacy Hawkins)
Line-up: KR (gtr)/Screaming Jay Hawkins (voc)/all other musicians not identified

The Riff Meister/Human Riff guitar parts (both riff and solo) are great on these. Great sound! Wonder who the other musicians are playing on this. There are female background vocals and horns all around.
Looks like a great KR birthdayparty for his 36-th birthday, just like in december 1970 when Brown Sugar was re-recorded with Clapton on Keith's birthday.
