Roy Ayers – Everybody Loves The Sunshine (Lemonade)

Roy Ayers Ubiquity had long made his shift from jazz into R&B by 1976's Everybody Loves The Sunshine. The title track is a quintessential song from the mid-'70s. It evokes that feeling of sweltering concrete in Brooklyn where the only relief is the local fire hydrant. The rest of the album contains Ayers classics such as the burning percussive funk of It Ain't Your Sign, It's Your Mind," the spacey comic soul of "The Third Eye," the bumping rubbery disco in "People And The World," and the two horn-scorched closers, "Tongue Power" and "Lonesome Cowboy." Available on lemonade color vinyl. Limited Edition."
