Roy Ayers Appreciation Thread

[billieve15]

With Roy's music being featured in Straight Outta Compton, thought it was the perfect time for an appreciation thread. Have seen him twice over the years, probably the best live performer I have seen. One of the most sampled artists in hip-hop history as well.

He has also collaborated with many more recent artists.

Prolific artist

His music is integral to the history of sampling within Hip-Hop and that relationship helped to lengthen his career and allow him to reach a totally new fan base

Respect
