\nKey of A
\nFred, you can stay. Steve, you’re OK. But Jack, you gotta go.
\nThis 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.<\/p>\n
