Its not until you scan through the track listing of this compilation that it hits home how impressive a portfolio of club classics Roy has under his belt - Everybody Loves The Sunshine, Running Away, Love Will Bring Us Back Together and Cant You See Me have been emptying soul boys (and girls) wallets for decades.Īlthough the musical template displays a drift from the rawer jazz-funk of Red, Black Green, to the smoother disco-fied styling of Sweet Tears, the basic Ayers fingerprint stays the same - a simple catchy, upbeat melody interspersed with jazz instrumental solos usually kicked off by Roys sparkling vibes backed up by a thumping funk bass.

The album kicks off with the atmospheric We Live in Brooklyn Baby - illustrating Ayers skill at mixing up the best bits of funk, soul, disco and jazz into a satisfying and groovesome whole.
