SCREAMING JAY HAWKINS' ESTATE LOOKING FOR HIS 57 CHILDREN

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- Talk about having the blues: The estate of the late R&B singer Screamin' Jay Hawkins is trying to find his 57 children -- yes, 57. Hawkins -- whose biggest hit was "I Put A Spell On You" -- died in February at the age of 70, and according to his friend Maral Nigolian, his last wish was to let his illegitimate kids know he loved him. Nigolian figures Hawkins fathered at least 57 kids between the late 1940s and late '70s -- but she admits there could be even more. So far, more than 150 people from as far away as Latvia claim to be a son or a daughter of Screamin' Jay -- but only eight have been confirmed as Hawkins' heirs.
