Everybody Love the Roy Ayers Samples

This week on the Seven O'Clock sample, we are exploring the music of Roy Ayers. His music serves as the prototype for the shuffling hip-hop groove that became, shall we say, ubiquitous on acid jazz records; and his relaxed 1976 song "Everybody Loves the Sunshine", is one of his most sampled songs.

This perfect spring song, was sampled by Brand Nubian in 1990 on the song Wake Up.
