The 1965 album I Put a Spell on You features some of Nina Simone's best-known songs. With cover of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You". The original version gave it an ironic theme, but Simone transformed it into a thrilling love song, complete with horns and strings, becoming one of her most well-known songs. She used the title for her 1992 autobiography I Put A Spell On You.
