Published by James Pybus (A0.1091352).Hit the Road Jack is a song written by the rhythm and blues singer Percy Mayfield who first recorded it in 1960. It became famous after the singer-songwriter-pianist Ray Charles recorded it, with The Raelettes vocalist Margie Hendrix. The song was a US number 1 hit in 1961 and won a Grammy award for Best Rhythm and Blues Recording, becoming one of Charles' signature songs. This arrangement for SATB or AATB Saxophone Quartet gives each voice a chance to shine and features an optional improvised solo for the tenor player. It is appropriate for a variety of concert and performance settings. Duration is 2:03. Contact me at [email protected].
