RIP Roy Ayers

[Batsute]

 

[Walt]

One of the most sampled artists in history, and the samples produced so many classic records. His catalogue is in the same realm with Stevie and James Brown - so much depth and quality.

A one of one legend and ranks near the top of my list of musical favorites.

In his own words: life is just a moment.

Noooooooo

This man was behind so much classic shyt

That RAMP album from 1977 was a vibe and gave us the sample from Daylight that brought us Bonita Applebum — and of course Everybody Loves the Sunshine was from that album as well.

This is a sad day brehs.

Roy was a goddamn genius. All of his music was a vibe, it was unapologetically 1970s and grown man shīt

We gotta live life to the fullest brehs. The best pieces of the tree are falling off.

RIP sir. One of the longest serving, hardest working performers ever. After Quincy, I looked up Roy, hoping he was well. This saddens me.

 

[O.G Bobby Johnson]

Rest well Mr. Roy Ayers! Truly one of a kind of artist.
