Tim Curry - I put a spell on you

[@johnvoyce]

A friend took me to see the Rocky Horror show in Hammersmith in 1972, I think. I had no idea what to expect. We were seated watching the stage when this booming voice rips out Sweet Transvestite from behind us. Then he whips off his Cape and exposes the suspenders and fishnet stockings and struts down the aisle towards the stage passing me by about two feet. I was never the same person after that.

[@ItzCouurtz]

So lucky 😍💕

[@jade-louisedobson575]

His voice sounds like what rolling on silk feels like, too perfect.

[@chumon1992]

Oh my god that is exactly what he sounds like...

[@sassydevil]

so very true!!!!!

[@danniflood812]

Best version of this song hands down

[@meguy4758]

He's like the king of bad guys that sing!

[@jasminnemcdonald94A]

jade-louise dobson STOP it!!! You're going to make me sick!

[@jenniferstone2567]

How did Tim Curry not have a more successful singing career? When I think of what passes for celebrity talent today, I'm so sad. I love him as an actor, but I would buy every album he released.

[@lic.karinanicolussithehuma7571]

I thonk so....

[@lilliehalumi8770]

I really wish people would appreciate Tim Curry for all his many contributions to the entertainment industry, instead of always focusing on Rocky Horror. The man is so much more than that.

[@kyliesworld89]

We do, but some of us were introduced to him by that movie. I absolutely love everything he has done and still does. He is an amazing man❣️

[@adamhayden4455]

I'm moreso on Clue, Muppet Treasure Island, and Fern Gully My DND mom tuned me onto his recordings after I brought up how much of a seductive jam Toxic Love is for a demon. Next thing I know, I'm singing I Do The Rock

[@Futurebound_jpg]

For me his most influential role is hexus in fern gully 😂 absolutely killed it

[@herbertervin]

If Tim Curry's voice grew its own body, it would be the sexiest being alive.

[@atthis6340]

Have you seen him? It already did and it is.

[@malloryknox6802]

So it would be Tim Curry himself

[@jonathandavis8784]

Haha, I suppose you have a different type but I gotta agree with the rest of these people. Tim Curry is the man.

[@katiekrosstowne7030]

He pretty much was... ;)

[@verena9911]

i mean he was

[@carmenmccauley585]

Its baffling that Tim didnt have a no.1 hit career with this voice and his delivery is out of this world.

[@WilmaNewarkNJ]

I love this man... his talent is freaking awesome. I know he is almost 70 years old, but I don't care, I'm almost ... well not older then him. His voice is so freaking orgasmic.

[@anadelamour2988]

wilma montefusco YES, HE CAN BRING SEXUALITY ONLY WITH HIS VOICE!!!

[@tiannarowell-brown8530]

wilma montefusco YES

[@emmahochhalter3652]

I bet Tim Curry would make a marvelous lover.

[@mw-tu1xx]

Emma Hochhalter please don't get us imagining that. we wish but sadly there is one and only Tim 😭

[@anurbanurb]

+m w that's so saddd

[@MidnightIsolde]

A hell of a lover

[@paganpoptart3921]

I have this album, and Tim's version of I Put A Spell On You, is my all time favorite. He sings it like he REALLY means it. Listening to this brought back a lot of memories. This first time I saw the Rocky Horror Picture Show, it was late in 1975. There were only 6 people in the audience, myself and 5 friends. I can clearly remember, as we were leaving the theater enthusing about the film, saying "Someone needs to sign that man (Tim) to a recording contract pronto." In 1978 and 1979, when Tim was on tour around the US singing at various clubs, I was determined to see him perform live. I'm happy to say I saw him 3 times, all in Ohio. First at the Agora in Youngstown, then the Agora in Cleveland, summer of 1978. Last, at Bogart's in Cincinnati on October 20th 1979 (my 20th birthday). At that date, I got to meet him, very briefly, after the show before he boarded his tour bus. He was very nice, and absolutely, to die for, gorgeous! I can still see his smile.

[@monicaanastasiadis6468]

you lucky duck! i too was quite enamoured of our delightful mr curry and bought all 3 of his albums and learned them by heart on cold lonely upstate ny winters...i alas was too dumb and in a drug induced haze to go see him in concerts and on the nyc club circuit just 6 mere hours away from me by auto....one of the biggest regrets of my life..what awesome memories you have...good for you..love.....

[@nwhepcat6310]

+Pagan Poptart I'm pretty sure I must have been at that same show at Bogart's! That's where I saw him, at around the same time. I was writing music reviews/interviews for my college paper, so I got to do an interview with him. Moved to NYC a year later, and a few years after that I got to see him on Broadway in "Amadeus." Those *are* great memories!

[@MrAssapopoulos]

+Pagan Poptart my absolute fantasy man! in so many ways...voice, sex appeal galore, brains, balls! oh yum! in the infamous words of morrissey...please, please please, let me let me let me...get what i want this time...

[@tiannarowell-brown8530]

Pagan Poptart what album? Please tell me I need this

[@dreamintokyo]

omg what a precious memory!!

[@xepobnha666]

Tim Curry in my opinion is the best male singer ever, he sings R&B so fine it almost hurts the heart...Sloe Gin, SOS, Anyone whoo had a heart, Something short of Paradise....All of them, I wish like hell he would have been just a singer, I believe he would have been so famous..His voice is ethereal

[@carmenmccauley585]

I had every LP. Wore them out.

[@NikiDepphead]

Ugh, his voice just does things to me.

[@dr.frank-n-furter8777]

Mm... Yeah...

[@NikiDepphead]

Oh uhm hi there. ^//^

[@dr.frank-n-furter8777]

Hello my dear, (kisses hand)

[@NikiDepphead]

(pulls hand slowly back) Well..how are you?

[@aislinnkerr5618]

Dr. Frank-N-Furter Hey................. I want you and Columbia.

[@MsGina]

I think Tim Curry has "PUT A SPELL ON ME" 😱His voice is just amazing!!!

[@danniflood812]

Best one who ever did this song

[@LadyWhiteRabbit]

So in love with that man.

[@lic.karinanicolussithehuma7571]

The very best version I've ever heard...awesome !!!

[@danniflood812]

best version of "i put a spell on you" in my opinion

[@draganandjelic3201]

there so many best versions

[@thisisbonkers]

this is a brilliant version no doubt, his voice is so silky and relaxing, but Meryl Streeps version from Hocus Pocus is so much more fun.

[@cinematicaddict6863]

Andy Davies Bette Midler not Meryl streep

[@stetrak1967]

It's cool, without doubts...but i like mainly the original by Screaming Jay Hawkins, and the versions played by CCR and Arthur Brown

[@danniflood812]

Deep and emotionally executed

[@gigimartinez1262]

Oh my love, your voice! Yes, you put a spell on me with your voice darling. ❤❤❤ Ahhhh I adore this man

[@jasper1414]

his voice is so memorizing. I cannot get enough of him. :)

[@givemeyourking]

I think the word you're looking for is "mesmerizing"...

[@jasper1414]

yes, sorry, I usually read over things when I write them.

[@heathcliffO_o]

I don't know I think memorizing works

[@marioalbertorivera6288]

Estoy oyendo al gran Tim Curry cantado este gran tema por primera vez y... Cómo es que no tuvo una gran carrera como cantante así como la tuvo de actor!! Un completísimo actor el Sr. Curry!!

[@hollydowns2279]

Tim is a man of soooo many talents

[@hollydowns2279]

He really did not get the exposure he needed ! His talent was huge and diverse ! One of my all time favorite singers ! Tim really makes me feel emotional when he sings.

[@monicaanastasiadis6468]

holly downs this song rings perfectly true.. a spell is exactly what is on us....

[@hollydowns2279]

oh so much !

[@monicaanastasiadis6468]

holly downs jesus this is intoxicating....

[@hollydowns2279]

monica anastasiadis Oh yeah !

[@myteutonics]

Oh, the good old times - when, to become famous, you had to have outstanding talent, the kind Tim Curry has, and not only a pretty face, a sexy body or the right pedigree. I wish for his successful and quick recovery.

[@curvy71]

+Teutonics didn't he have a heart attack or something?

[@myteutonics]

Sarah Gregory Considering what really happened I like to think that he would have preferred a heart attack. He had a major stroke. Like... MAJOR major. If you look at pictures of him now, he's not even half the man he used to be. It's so sad for him! :-(

[@curvy71]

+Teutonics i agree.i hope he recovers.

[@Cricriiii]

+Teutonics Woua woua woua ! I didn't know at all and just watched, he's a vegetable now :( Bouh ! It's painful to watch :(

[@curvy71]

+Cricriiii I thought he was in a wheel chair and able to talk

[@FredBaudelaire]

Listened to this on repeat for like half an hour, I'm in love.

[@monicaanastasiadis6468]

that s exactly what i m doing right now..long day..exhausted but can t go to bed until i embed that voice into my brain.....does anyone find this a strange phenomenon? why tim curry...well thousands of tiny little reasons and some medium and big ones too....

[@dawndipierro373]

OMG, this man ALWAYS puts a spell on me. He is one of a kind and there'll be no one else like him. ❤😘😍 His voice is like angels and silk combined and I'm so madly in love.

[@mtwoody360]

I can't stop picturing this being sung by Nigel Thornberry and in some weird way... that makes it almost more magical.

[@thisisbonkers]

thank you for putting that image in my head!!

[@lissie3669]

lol best comment

[@CrowTR0bot]

Must be how he wooed Marianne

[@sarahfigueira7155]

Oh my god Daddy Nigel 😂

[@ginasieli]

I love his version so much, the man has a phenomenal voice.

[@tiannarowell-brown8530]

This the most amazing voice I’ve ever heard. There’s just something about him. I can’t put my finger on it- but he is absolutely phenomenal.

[@pecahalloween]

Ok, today I drew Nigel Thornberry as Winifred Sanderson and I thought how amazing it would be to have Tim singing this song... This is the best cover of the song I've ever heard.

[@BrightBlueTrousers]

BOOM. Just like that, and Im pregnant.

[@chinchilladivine81]

Nox Sarcophilia I know I’m late with this comment but--BEST COMMENT EVER! Tim is a sexy BEAST! Love him!

[@mechachrist]

Me too.

[@stevencantrellzenroom7383]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🖤

[@Kelly-pd5zr]

OMG Lolol I’m dying laughing from this comment

[@avatar1867]

Bruv. Same.

[@claudiacastro3254]

I’m a lesbian but Tim Curry is just something else

[@lic.karinanicolussithehuma7571]

The best version! It's dark, deep, and mysteeious....amazing !!!

[@alainahood2351]

Tim curry is magical

[@Canuckchick32]

His voice is so magical, along with his looks of course 😉😘✨️

[@Rod9]

I saw Mr. Curry in many films, but still when i'm listening to his songs i'm imagine him as Frank'n'Furter.. Never mind, his is such a talented singer. Thanks

[@hoffy5157]

Got to love the ole time crackles of turntable sounds. Takes me back.

[@annebelk3027]

Everybody with a clue loves Tim Curry. Mom is only trying to say, "Don't lose your sense of self." The most appealing attribute about him is Tim Curry loves himself as evidenced by his confidence. Is it easier for men to do this? Perhaps. Many of us pretty much like ourselves but where is our self confidence? I left mine back in the hospital newborn nursery. We love his confidence in everything he tries and completes. Can-do attitude.

[@computerorphone]

thank you for all your comments guys. This man is incredible he should only be noticed for his talents in everything. So underrated :[

[@spyderc85]

wow, such an amazing actor and now after listening to this. A dude who had a real talent for singing. The guy is a legend.

[@Emily-cw8hv]

There is just something about his voice, it's strange. I believe I'm in love.

[@tegankelly8756]

His voice is perfect so relaxing 😘😍

[@suem8299]

After hearing Diamanda Galas version (which is awesome) this is like a soothing balm to the senses. I love them both, but they are miles apart. Tim Currys voice is just so....like slipping into the back of a deep red velvet plush sofa.

[@thejupiter2574]

I LUV Tim Curry's voice. He could sing anything and it just comes out sexy af. Also when he played the horned creature Darkness in the movie Legend, every time he talked he sounded sexy and sultry G-d bless this guy. sadly he is now confined to a wheelchair from a stroke he had a few years ago :( :(

[@ija8h831]

Tim, why so long before you looked straight on into the camera? Don't make me wait, you are exquisitely gifted. Don't doubt it, ever. Never let anyone's superficial judgement stand in your way. Your lifestyle, clothes, whatever, are your choice, and to be respected along with the rest of you. I personally love it, that you are who you are. I'm not saying this only to you, but to others who will not look past what they are prejudiced against. Screw them, oops sorry. Always be free to be yourself. I want you to sing where we can see you actually singing while you are looking at us. Bravo, and much love to you, beautiful boy.

[@TammyAdams2885]

Tim Curry is FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!

[@GiaSesshoumaru]

Oh, wow, Tim Curry is so amazing. Ooh, he gives me goosebumps.

[@alexandraniven7016]

This is such an amazing version of a song that has been recorded by so many great artists and my favourite

[@seanod7157]

Not a dry seat in the house.

[@halloooo1duuuuu]

Konig Corvus hahaha, very nice reference!

[@Em022884]

I am laughed at with eyes rolling every time I mention Tim Curry. I've been infatuated with the man for a long, long time. Don't change for the people around you. I'm 29 and he is 67 and I still think there is a chance :)

[@starry4656]

A chance of... what? You getting with him? How about now?

[@ashleypaquette74]

My favorite version of this song

[@SingerForLife3000]

Brilliant. Love this man. Great artist --- singer, actor, performer!

[@mymonsterhighfamily2835]

this... this is pure eargasm :'D

[@ashleigh_whatever]

His voice is like velvet.

[@mariannebrandon8891]

I have multiple covers of this song on my phone what’s one more god he sounds incredible and anyone turned on by his voice you are not weird his voice is damn sexy

[@matfan1976]

This always puts me in a MUCH better mood.....No matter what!

[@leeskerette1]

Everything this man sings is just out of this world! I bought his albums after seeing RHPS (and then-new songs by him and Meatloaf featured before the film)...and now (years later) I'm having the delectable experience of re-discovering his incomparable voice for myself. It's both annoying and perplexing to think that his music career didn't catch on in a big way.Thanks to the internet, many can either re-discover him...or have the ultimate treat of being "spellbound" by him for the first time!

[@hathor9777]

Oh ....my ....god. This song drives...me.....insane....he is so fing delicious!

[@Claire19944]

mmm:) God, what a voice. He's amazing

[@クラーククリスタ]

Would it be inappropriate to say that this man is one delicious Brit? No? Great! :)

[@monicaanastasiadis6468]

even if it is deemed inappropriate by some it is still worth saying.....

[@kenykleen1302]

Always Liked This Album. Picked It Up In Germany About 1981 Or So. Had No Idea About Frankenfurter. Wish I Could Get It On ITunes. Tim Curry Has Done Some Real Great Acting Work

[@Queenesy]

must. take . a . cold. shower .now Theres something about Tim's version that just makes that tune rock! his voice is amazing, makes you shiver and blow your mind away...well I may got a bit carried away, I dont care, im under a spell ;-)

[@hetguuurl23]

I have his Fearless album autographed by him, Its one of my prized possessions, and I'm only 15. Never letting that record go.

[@Moth711]

EVERYONE'S SO YOUNG ON HERE! I've loved Tim Curry since I was a little baby, all because of Rocky Horror. This makes me happy that I'm not alone. :D

[@alainahood2351]

Tim currys voice is love

[@kellydickens82]

He was a magnificent singer , actor and I wish Tim burton had collaborated with him for movies ❤

[@laurav2207]

you put a spell on me!. Es una pena que no continuara con su carrera de cantante, es simplemente extraordinario. No puedo dejar de escucharlo.

[@DavidfromBA]

As a general rule I'm not overly impressed with cover versions of songs, but I love this. Kudos to Tim Curry for taking this song in a completely different direction, with brilliant results. Attempting to mimic Screamin' Jay Hawkins would undoubtedly have been an unmitigated disaster, whereas this is great stuff.

[@gelchert]

I can't think of a better person to cover this song.

[@ann-mariemeyers9978]

I did buy every album he released. You can't find a couple of them anymore.

[@jonesyjonesy724]

He can put a spell on me anytime 💕

[@matfan1976]

God....How I wish I would have been born in '56 instead of '76! I love this man, and he WOULD have been MINE! LoL.....2:50 is KILLER! Looks like temptation and a HALF!

[@massagebroad]

Omg, the first line gave me chills!

[@TheRootsMan]

This gripping version of "I Put A Spell On You" is a relatively unknown MASTERPEICE.

[@jagu2659]

Simplemente... perfecto!!!

[@vassil1982]

Perfect song and singer.

[@tessnfurter1]

I want to see this man. I want him to come to new york soon. I will fly there for the night just to see him......

[@4Just1Girl]

YUP! The man can do it all... I've been an instant fan for a long long time. Tim is the Ultimate actor's actor! Actor, voice-over actor, singer, musician/singer/ check out videos for Ken wahl's series Wiseguy.There is an entire arc of episodes with TC costarring Deborah Harry, Paul winfield, Deidra Hall and Glen Frey (of Eagles fame) deals with episodes about Dead dog Records.

[@Grumpycrumpets]

Tim Curry is the best

[@sibsbubbles]

Wow! This is way under-rated for the quality of work behind it.

[@r.c.thepenguingamer]

get the fan girls NOW WHO'S WITH ME

[@rebelstardust2309]

Oh Tim, why must you be so beautiful?

[@CreedOfTheBlessed]

Wow, this is the first thing I've heard him sing other than in Rocky Horror..I have chills...

[@AnimalsMatterMorally]

LOVE this song and the photos here.

[@HollieNatashaaa]

Aw that's actually well cute! I keep showing my mum everything of him on KZbin just about or won't stop talking about him, and she's like "don't get obsessed!" I already am, seriously who couldn't love this man?! ;)

[@carlosleitedefreitas1939]

Uma das melhores versões que já ouvi. Bom de mais.

[@Dayna092]

[@InMyRealm]

Yes Tim, I am yours. Dear god. x.x

[@sassydevil]

his voice is like the smoothest finest silk wrapped on your bare skin!!!!!! so seductive and wonderful!!!

[@mundodana1762]

Woow, Yes it is! It is the best description I have read about his voice.

[@jasminnemcdonald94A]

Evil sinister monster! He must be stopped!!

[@ankita8466]

sadly it means "Kill Your Self"

[@heathergibbs2904]

This I Put A Spell On You from 1981

[@kimberlygabaldon3260]

I am not at all surprised that he would gravitate toward this song, but I am very surprised at the way he approached it. The first version I ever heard was Creedence, and when I heard Screamin'Jay, I thought he WAS Tim Curry, so of course I expected him to sound like Screamin' Jay. Instead, he approached it as a blues song, (which was what Screamin'Jay had originally intended).

[@mazhar84]

Ooff!! AMAZING cover!!

[@mundodana1762]

Hermosa versión!!! hermosa voz ❤

[@Puppetmistress]

Man, this and the original version, I can’t pick which is my favorite!

[@SinaBe99]

Outstanding!

[@RickBoljaire]

he had a spell on me for 40 years

[@einnocjoe]

Tim sings this song better than anybody. I love it.

[@michelle2day]

I love you Tim!!

[@lauralewis673]

The ONE and ONLY sexy Tim Curry!!! 😍
