"Hit the Road Jack" foi escrita por Percy Mayfield, mas ficou eternizada na voz de Ray Charles, que gravou a versão definitiva com o apoio vocal das Raelettes.
A gravação alcançou o topo da Billboard Hot 100 e manteve a posição de número 1 por duas semanas consecutivas a partir de 9 de outubro de 1961.
O refrão “Don’t you come back no more” tornou‑se um dos mais reconhecidos da história da música popular, sendo repetido por inúmeros artistas em covers e performances ao vivo.
Embora a canção fale de um término amoroso, Ray Charles a descreveu como uma “homenagem” ao romance de Jack Kerouac, “On the Road”, ligando o tema ao espírito de partida e liberdade.
A presença marcante das contracantoras das Raelettes criou um diálogo vocal que se tornou referência para arranjos de resposta em gravações posteriores.
