[1960-1964 Best Songs]
Billboard Top 100, 1961: #19
If Hit The Road, Jack were a song in the 2000s, it would be a Hip-Hop song featuring Beyonce and Jay-Z. And it would dominate...maybe without even changing the words. It's just that good.
The movie Ray almost implies that Ray Charles wrote the song himself, which isn't true. But, still, watch the scene of that song being arranged and you get a feel for the raw power of it. The combination of the driving beat and that infectious chorus makes this song one of the very best ever.
