Track of the Day: Roy Ayers

​Ain't nothing new about the track I'm posting today. Then again, ain't nothing new about loving a sunny day either. Every time it actually gets hot in this city, I get Roy Ayers' classic "Everybody Loves the Sunshine" stuck on repeat until the cold fronts return.

And really, this song is pretty much a perfect anthem for the afternoons when temperatures rise. With the mix of jazzy piano melodies and sci fi synth riffs, casual percussion beats, and lines like "Sunshine/folks get down in the sunshine. Sunshine/folks get brown in the sunshine" it only gets better than this if you can actually listen to this song outside, among the "bees and things and flowers."

Give it up for Roy Ayers today.
