Released in 1959, Hit the Road Jack by Ray Charles became one of the defining records of soul and rhythm & blues.
Driven by sharp call-and-response vocals and a minimalist groove, the track redefined mainstream sound and attitude.
More than a hit, it marked a shift. A new energy, a new voice, a new direction for popular music.
