Man i'm telling you Everybody Loves The Sunshine has got to be one of the best records of all time. Dope grooves, killer vibes solos, and off the chain 70's vocals.

I've got

A tear to a smile
Lifeline
Mystic Voyage
Everybody Loves the Sunshine
You Send Me (criminally underrated record, "don't you say no" is my jam)
No Stranger to love

all the things i love about 70's jazz-funk are in roy ayers tunes. killer grooves, bubbly synth lines, astrology and spirtual lyrics (it ain't your sign it's your mind), ripping solos, and hot drum beats.

anyone else dig?
