such an odd choice for CCR…but ya gotta start somewhere. thankfully it didn’t end there….
It was a Perfect choice. They were into Blues.
Their rendition of this song was the best done. It had all the elements of the day. Psychedelics mixed with Blues Rock. There was a distinctive seductiveness about this version. The radio stations Suzie Q’d to death that hit, only the best rock stations at that time played I put A Spell On You.
WABX here in Detroit.
And ironically to this day along with Born On A Bayou it has remained my favorite from CCR.
