The world lost a true legend on March 4, 2025, as Roy Ayers, the pioneering vibraphonist, composer, and producer, passed away at the age of 84 in New York City after a long illness. Though he may no longer be with us, his music—full of warmth, rhythm, and soul—will continue to shine brightly, much like the title of his most beloved song, "Everybody Loves the Sunshine."
Ayers was more than a musician; he was a movement. His ability to fuse jazz with funk, R&B, and disco set him apart, creating a sound that was undeniably his own.
