In historical music lore and eccentric rock trivia, legendary rhythm and blues musician Screamin' Jay Hawkins famously claimed to have fathered dozens of children throughout his turbulent life. While his own flamboyant exaggerations placed the number between 57 and 75, formal biographical and genealogical research conducted by his estate and biographers has officially documented approximately 33 children whom he fathered with numerous different partners across his long touring career, making him one of the most famously prolific biological fathers in entertainment history.
