Happy Birthday, Roy Ayers! May your special day be filled with endless sunshine—just like your timeless hit "Everybody Loves the Sunshine," which still warms our hearts (and playlists) as brilliantly today as it did back in '76. You've grooved across generations, becoming everyone's favorite musical dose of Vitamin D!Known lovingly around the world as the Godfather of Acid Jazz, you've made us dance through decades and inspired countless artists who try constantly to bottle that perfect soulful rhythm. Today we celebrate you—a legend whose beats never age, just improve over time—wishing you another wonderful spin around the sun!
