by Ray Charles
Hit the Road Jack was written by Percy Mayfield, in 1960 by rhythm and blues singer Percy Mayfield. Mayfield originally recorded it as a vocal rhythm‑and‑blues number, and it became world‑famous through Ray Charles’s 1961 hit rendition with the Raelettes, which won a Grammy Award for Best Rhythm and Blues Recording. The song went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B charts and has since become one of Ray Charles’s signature songs, widely covered and used in films, television, and advertising.
