Ray Charles, Hit the Road Jack, cover by Susana Silva - busking in the streets of London, UK

Susana Silva is a Portuguese singer with an extraordinary and powerful voice! She stands out with her very unique and awesome interpretations of rock, pop, blues and jazz anthems! She sings with a huge Heart and a generous Soul. I was very fortunate to see her live on the South Bank in London, UK.

She loves to sing songs from Ray Charles, Louis Armstrong, Nina Simone, Amy Winehouse, Alicia Keys and James Brown among many others. She also composes her own songs where you can hear all the emotions and happiness and nostalgia from her native Portugal.

In this video, she sings "Hit the Road Jack" from Ray Charles. This song was actually first recorded in 1960 by Percy Mayfield, and covered by many artists, including: the Animals (1966), John Mellencamp (1976), Basement Jaxx (2006), Jamie Cullum (2009) and Robbie Williams (2014).

A "Gig in the Streets" favourite!!
