Roy Ayers-Is It Too Late To Try?(1979)

[@Knowledge3440]

Roy Ayers is truly timeless. His music is forever. There will never be another Roy Ayers.

[@ashleythehealer777]

I listen to this daily 🥰 the frequency of his music is so therapeutic! Let’s not start on his xylophone skills 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@darrickmalloy6909]

Huh uh! I got to get my eyes fixed😎

[@repmaster9232]

Supreme Facts Positive Soul! Could’ve said no better! Respect!🫡💯✊🏿🎶✌🏿

[@darrenthomas4056]

I've been grooving too Mr. Ayers since the early 70's, his musqic is timeless, he is the King of the Vibes!

[@Leatricaw]

Darren Thomas Me too and I agree

Roy's songs are simple yet so mood-inducing. Like a herb.

[@hardwiredtoselfdestruction3401]

The Real Neo Soul 😙💨

[@balmain-i3e]

His songs are deceptively simple. Play this on piano and you'll see

[@robertshears835]

the brotha was and is in a class by himself.

[@Numiful]

I like reading the comments of people who actually lived in this era and remember falling in love with this song. I'm only 20 but this is my jam, I play it 24/7. I love me some Roy Ayers.

[@holleyeugene]

Imagine if our children grew up on this music.

[@relaxpayourincometax]

Mine have! I’m still stunned at what turns up in their playlists.

[@Chefjoe63]

Roy Ayers is one of the coolest guys i know, his music was and still is the soundtrack of my life even at the age of 56. He is such a nice and cool guy in person, my profile pic is of him and i hanging out here in KC the same day that Whitney Houston died, i found out about that from him because he announced it during his concert. I will be totally heartbroken when he passes.

[@Jlt0788]

I'm a young Dude and I'm feelin the 70's vibe from this song from the Legendary Roy Ayers.

[@terryjones1268]

This man, MELTS MY BUTTER!! I had the pleasure of sitting in with him at Sculler Jazz club, Brighton Ma 1998- Roy gave me his vibes, his room, his stage and we talked for hours after the show.. HE DEMANDED I stay for the second show and PUT ME ON..... I love u forever DR. NEO SOUL ROY AYERS -I will never ever forget that night....

[@btinsley1]

HOW COOL IS THAT?

[@darrickmalloy6909]

Watch out now!😎

[@cheryl7785]

Simply beautiful.

[@eddiealvarado8616]

Man words cant explain how much I enjoy this track.

[@jazzatnight]

This track has a slight George Duke vibe to it, good tune. Two great artists: George Duke and Roy Ayers.

[@robertroark1804]

Classic Roy Ayers on the Xylophone

[@jimmy3610]

Naw...on the vibraphone.

[@William_sJazzLoft]

@@jimmy3610 and @that time it was very likely the Deagan vibraharp.

[@skinfanjay]

Vibraphone

[@carollynnclemmons6324]

Roy Ayres is the man !!! His music is the reason why I love jazz so much

[@rassanmorganbey6117]

My name is Stephanie. I am using my ole man's you-tube. I don't know what I than stumbled on?! WOW!!!!! Straight cut..... I love Roy Ayers also..... PEACE AND LOVE.....

[@JeriDro]

[@GeeLove]

OMG!!!!!!! This song is so beautiful.

[@Passionate4music1]

I thought I'd NEVER hear this mellow song again. I had it on vinyl and I played this song to DEATH. It was and still is a relaxing tune! What beautiful memories and thanx for the post GStrongRAW!!!!!

[@jefftaylor5754]

[@curtiscollins2632]

So savage on the Vibes...

[@oneluv72]

Just like Miles!! You hear the sounds coming from him!! Roy has the same effect when it comes from the vibes!!

[@sir.francislow5257]

[@nadsgee7245]

J W; Me too! I love me some Roy Ayers

[@summersbr1]

Puts me back into a beautiful place in my life in the late 70's and early 80's. God, I am sooo thankful i got to experience the time and the music

[@cdeddits]

This track is a playful one but, it's another masterpiece from a Neo Soul pioneer. Who makes this song sound like it's New.

[@randyjones456]

Now this is the best slow jam I've enjoyed listening to by the "maestro" sur brings back memories tho' preciate the post.

[@Passionate4music1]

I couldn't have said that better!

[@Zandi5]

Thanks for sharing!!Nice n Smooth!!Just the way I like it!!

[@jefferymoore8450]

I saw Roy Ayers live at Ronnie Scott's in London, England - Soho district. Talking about a show. Boy tore it up! You do the nasty........

[@keithbell9681]

Music a Mother would play with her children.

[@zetasistah]

YESSSSSSS!!!! 1:15 starts the sultry breakdown...Roy, Roy, Roy!!! Then the xylophone starts to reel you in at 2:03...wow!!!

[@cobaltmidnightoilamp6748]

[@robertwilder9274]

Absolutely love this song ❤️💕❤️

[@William_sJazzLoft]

Just that smooth

[@dereklbc]

omg this is crazy, I need to start listening to more old school

[@garrygalloway5043]

Do you know how unusual it is for an artist to be able to make great dance tracks as well as quality ballads? The ones that do normally have someone else writing the lyrics and composing the music

[@paulajordan8113]

awesome piece, lovely upload, floatng my winter cold away :-) ♥♡★★★★★

[@debraburningham8629]

Was turned on to him in 1976 and am still loving him. And I'm a white girl! Love me some Roy

[@cobaltmidnightoilamp6748]

Debra, same here. Roy and such artists like him, next to John Klemmer having a SUPER overall calming effect on me.😌🕯🪔

[@PeepthisSoon]

My favorite off "Lifeline" lp..again "Runnin Away" got the airplay but this cut and others like "Cincinati Growl" was doin' it for me..Groovin' on this stuff as a teenager developing my musical chops for great production and many labels for the artists to do their thing..

[@William_sJazzLoft]

What's your axe? Is it the vibes like Mr. Ayers?

[@William_sJazzLoft]

In fact I didn't hear this until 1984 on WNSB in Norfolk when they were a jazz station.

[@PeepthisSoon]

@@William_sJazzLoft i like to read charts to find places to flip and change the entire score...for kicks

[@William_sJazzLoft]

@@PeepthisSoon I'll tell you what. If I had a mallet_Kat like the one he uses to this day, I would be trying the best I could to tag along with him. I would at least try to get the melody down

[@beverlyrobinson3551]

@ Craig Donahue, Hell yeah!! I love Roy Ayers. I saw him perform on many occasions. This was my personal favorite and so was Running Away.

[@birdboyent.7108]

Pure Vibes

[@edski8536]

I dont smoke weed anymore...but I know I could definitely get into his music under the influence.....

[@peggybennett1109]

Edward Gore real talk.

[@jenicewhite7901]

Warm vibes only!

[@William_sJazzLoft]

Still love it years later

[@ngobithe]

Roy Ayers forever💓👏💚❤💙

[@Robert-f5m9y]

Absolutely love it

[@skinfanjay]

MY FAVORITE SONG OFF OF AN AWESOME AWESOME ALBUM- LEO 1979

[@beverlyrobinson3551]

This was one of my JAMS back in the day in 1979! I STILL love it! Thanks for uploading it!!

[@donahue478]

One of my favorites which are many but this cut is smooth and special! Other favorites are mystic voyage and searching.

[@goddess1luv]

an all time CUT

[@d.j.foxxxyd.j.foxxxy1063]

Can anyone tell me what I have stumbled upon?! LAWD HAM MERCY.........(LORD HAVE MERCY)........

[@TVchannel02]

It's easy to say Roy is underrated. I don't believe that at all. Mr. Ayers is worshiped by not only the hip hop, and house music communities. He is also credited with being the Godfather of both acid jazz and neo-soul. I can't think of anyone past or present with that kind of juice in music...and did I mention that Roy is the coolest dude walking on the planet.

[@William_sJazzLoft]

Very smooth

[@bebeysmael1.]

Nice

[@mashondaknight9132]

Love it

[@funkality]

Funkin at the junction!!

[@JoaoCarlos-fl1yy]

[@rocjackson5975]

Yeah. I've been looking for this, hadn't heard it in a while.."baby you cha-anged"!

[@GlennRuss-k6s]

At PARK WEST THEATER.....CHICAGO...in 1978.....more than what I paid for from ROY AYERS.....need I say more

[@duwayneerwing4110]

This is the summer of 1979 with me all over in the U.S. Army in Nuremberg, West Germany chill'in with my German Lady Frauline with Roy Ayers and sipping on scotch in my apartment over there!

[@terryjones1268]

Oh thanks for Posting .... didn't think people knew this one.... REMINDS me of Erykah's out side of the game...

This track is indeed from the 1979 album, Fever. But, the album cover appearing in the montage actually comes from the 1970 release Ubiquity www.discogs.com/artist/2265-Roy-Ayers
