Seems like everyday we’re losing another legend. 💔 RIP to the incomparable icon Roy Ayers. Roy Ayer’s was a true master & god of his craft, a man that wore many hats. He was a funk/soul/jazz composer, vibraphone player, music producer, pioneer, visionary, innovator & icon. Not only did he pioneer jazz-funk, but he has been dubbed 'The Godfather of Neo Soul' — in other words, where would your favorite artist be without Roy Ayers legacy. He’s best known for the tune that I know you all are familiar with 'Everybody Loves the Sunshine' , ‘Searchin' & 'Running Away’. At one time, he was even said to have had more sampled hits by rappers than any other artist. Rest in Peace & Power Roy. Thanks to you, music has been forever changed & your legacy will never die.

Level 42 - are a great band that have been criminally underrated over the years. I thought I'd add a few tracks for anyone out there who might not of heard of them 😉.

Level 42 are an English band formed in 1979 on the Isle of White. They had a number of UK and worldwide hits during the 1980s and 1990s and their style would be best described as ( Jazz- Funk )

The thing that really sets this group apart is having one of the best bass players in the business in Mark King who's also the bands lead singer. To highlight how good he is I've added a track at the end called Mr Pink where you see how good he actually is. The whole band are a group of talented songwriters and musicians in their own right but his bass playing really is something special.
