English term or phrase: Hit the Road Jack
Well, this is the title of an article discussing why a certain type of oilfield pumping equipment has an edge over the other. "Jack" refers to a conventional sucker rod pump, whereas progressive cavity pumps are being portrayed as being more beneficial than the "jack" on all counts. So "jack" has to hit the road.

Please see if you can put on your creative hats and suggest a Russian rendering for the title?

Many thanks for all your inputs.

Дорогу молодым / пора уступать дорогу молодым


Explanation:
Как один из вариантов.
So "jack" has to hit the road (если это вообще из текста) - Так что "старичку" пора на покой.

hit the road jack
качалке место среди пенсионеров


Explanation:
Jack pump по-русски называется "станок-качалка". Можно написать примерно так: "Так что станку-качалке теперь место там же, где и креслу-качалке - среди пенсионеров".

А с Рэем Чарльзом, увы, аналогий не найти ;-)
