I know Everybody Loves the Sunshine is his most recognizable song but here's a version from 1997 he made with a German collective called Soul Society. Discovered it a few years back and it's gotten more play than the OG. Unfortunately, it's not on streaming

Not many can sample Roy like Pete though, what Alch did with Give Em Hell is some of the best ive every heard as far as flips in general.

Ill post a few of my fav Roy samples

(Ill pay pal someone for a legit copy of this this should have blown those fellas up but only stayed local, Proof and Dilla couldn't miss)

I am kinda behind on RIP's, tbh didnt really feel like posting them. I must oblige though. These are some of my favorite artists. Roy Ayers? OMG. We did a video montage of my father in law at his funeral and the music was "Everybody Loves The Sunshine". this is such a freaking powerful and emotional song. I am sure they will play this at his proceedings. RIP to a GOAT. Did yall see him on TinyDesk? I play his greatest hits regularly.
