Creedence Clearwater Revival borrowed "I Put a Spell on You" from the pen of Screamin' Jay Hawkins for their debut album, the self-titled Fantasy Records long-player of 1968. John Fogerty sings lead and plays guitar alongside Tom Fogerty, with Stu Cook on bass and Doug Clifford on drums, and the arrangement is credited to John Fogerty and Saul Zaentz, who produced it together.
Zaentz was the man who opened the door. He bought Fantasy in 1967 and offered the four a shot at a full album, on one condition: ditch the Golliwogs, the name they'd been putting out singles under since the early '60s. None of them had ever liked it, so they became Creedence Clearwater Revival and got busy chasing the swampy sound that would become their calling card.
