Xampled: Roy Ayers
![]() | Once one of the most visible and winning jazz vibraphonists of the 1960s, then an R&B bandleader in the 1970s and '80s, Roy Ayers' reputation is now that of one of the prophets of acid jazz, a man decades ahead of his time. In 1970 he formed the Roy Ayers Ubiquity, which featured such players as Sonny Fortune, Billy Cobham, Omar Hakim, and Alphonse Mouzon. |

By the way, Roy Ayers' "Everybody Loves the Sunshine" was also heavily sampled by Brand Nubian's "Wake Up (Reprise in the Sunshine)" on their All For One 90s record.
Great page!

The song "Searching" is sampled in the Amerie track "Rollin' down my face".
There's a sax solo at the middle/end of "Searching", that is used throughout "Rollin' down my face"
