Hit the road, Jack... (got your attention!) (singing, favorite song, classic)

[FedupWNY]

If you read the title and heard the song in your head, then your age is showing as much as my own. I remember being a kid singing that song word for word.

Lookie what I brushed the dust off of from an old box at (my) work.

I never knew Helen Reddy did it. The Ray Charles version is a classic.

The first time I heard this song was Helen Reddy's version probably because I grew up in the 70's. It wasn't until years later I heard Ray Charles.

I'd kinda like to hear that Helen Reddy version if anyone can find a link to it.

I've only heard the Ray Charles version. Here's the Helen Reddy cover:

Sorry, but that doesn't do a thing for me though I like her singing. THIS is IT~THE version=}

I swear that this was my younger sister's favorite song for years until Tina Turner covered "Proud Mary".

Heh - I waited five years for that? Gotta agree with ya, MM - not much happening there... But thanks anyway!

[MystMoonstruck]

You're welcome! I figured that you must have found the song long ago. I couldn't resist the impulse. So, now does this dive back to near the bottom? Just what direction is this supposed to go in?

How about this version?
