Roy Ayers (born September 10, 1940) is an American funk, soul, and jazz composer and vibraphone player.[1] Ayers began his career as a post-bop jazz artist, releasing several albums with Atlantic Records, before his tenure at Polydor Records beginning in the 1970s, during which he helped pioneer jazz-funk.[2] He is a key figure in the acid jazz movement, which is a mixture of jazz into hip-hop and funk,[3] and has been dubbed by many as "The Godfather of Neo Soul".[4] He is most well known for his signature compositions "Everybody Loves The Sunshine" and "Searchin",[5] and is also famous for having more sampled hits by rappers than any other artist.[6]
