Key of A
Fred, you can stay. Steve, you’re OK. But Jack, you gotta go.
This kiss-off anthem was written by Ray’s good friend Percy Mayfield, an R&B singer who was badly disfigured in a car accident soon after he started performing. Mayfield cut back his touring and made his mark as a prolific songwriter, with many of his compositions performed by Charles.
Written by Percy Mayfield (1960), recorded by Ray Charles and Margie Hendrix in 1961.
