I found this on wikipedia
Originally Screamin' Jay Hawkins.
Then..
"I Put a Spell on You" has been covered dozens of times, perhaps most famously by Nina Simone on the 1965 album I Put A Spell On You, but also by performers such as Natacha Atlas, Audience, Batmobile, Creedence Clearwater Revival (who performed it at Woodstock), Them, Sonique, Arthur Brown, The Animals, Joe Cocker, Nick Cave, Bryan Ferry, Marilyn Manson, Eels, Julien DorÃ©, Kim Nalley, and many others. There is a live performance by Pete Townshend on his Deep End Live! album (with David Gilmour).

Also, it has been sampled in songs by Notorious B.I.G. (“Kick In The Door”) and by LL Cool J (“LL Cool J”).

In films, it has been performed by Bette Midler in Disney's Halloween movie, Hocus Pocus; and by Diamanda GalÃ¡s, whose version is featured in Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers. Marilyn Manson's version was featured in David Lynch's Lost Highway as well as television ads for M. Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense. The Creedence Clearwater Revival version was used in Rebecca Miller's The Ballad of Jack and Rose. It has been also played in an episode of The Simpsons (I'm Spelling as Fast as I Can) and an episode of The PJ's. It was featured in the movie Stranger Than Paradise. Hawkins performed the song on film in A Rage in Harlem.

I'm pretty sure it was Bette Midler. The song was from the movie " Hockace Pacace".

Nina Simone

Lyrics:
I put a spell on you
cause youre mine

You better stop the things you do
I aint lyin
No I aint lyin

You know I cant stand it
Youre runnin around
You know better daddy
I cant stand it cause you put me down

I put a spell on you
Because youre mine
Youre mine

I love ya
I love you
I love you
I love you anyhow
And I dont care
If you dont want me
Im yours right now

You hear me
I put a spell on you
Because youre mine

Hope this helps! : )
