Oh boy! This was song I meet this girl in 72, it was at Belle Island in Detroit, she was 11 and I was 12 summer of 72, june to be exact. It was on 8track back then, real ol'e school music family. She in 79 became my wife and this was one of our wedding songs cause we were married on Belle island outside. Every body loves the sun shine, folks get brown in the sun shine. We're still together and cruise belle island on warm lights like every body else. Memories are great, children are adults now and out the house lol..enjoy...🙂

He's great but unfortunately when he came to Yoshi's in Oakland I walked out. It was terrible, it was like he was just fooling around with his friends. I was so disappointed, honestly I heard better from church musicians jamming after church. I still love his talent but I was sordeidly disheartened after that.

@@morethandetermined-iyusaf245 I will agree on that - I had a similar "expierience" in Berlin a couple of years ago. Had been extremely exited to see them live since I would consider myself to be a huge fan but boy was I disapointed that day . To be fair I must say it was a terribly hot and exeptionally humid day and the venue didn't seem to be prepared well either, yet nobody in the group seemed to really want to deliver anything to the audience. Anyway still a huge fan though.

Wow 😳........Robert Glasper!

I got hooked on Roy Ayers from Guru's Jazzmatazz. Jazz opens minds, finds souls, and passes time by creating its' own time.

This song has always been a vibe. Changes your world, stop what you're doing will make you sit back and just listen. EAR CANDY!

i was born in 2000, so I didn’t grow up knowing Roy Ayers. if it wasn’t for Rockstar adding this song to one of the radio stations in GTA Vice City Stories, I wouldn’t have been introduced to such a vibe at such a young age.

Man peeps got to leave originals but ,maan Robert glasper experiment,Roy arrested wow, you got to have the ingredients to even be in this zone of magic. Saxon d Cardiff South Wales.. its not just being a genius its the courage an inspiration of perfection. Qwan. From big old jazz man
