The Third Eye – Roy Ayers

While Ayers aimed this feel-good record directly at the dance crowd, in 1976 it was heard coming out of passing cars and on apartment stoops as much as in discotheques. A Top 10 R&B and jazz hit, this one still shines with Ayers’ liquid vibes and soulful grooves– a sound that would be much copied, sampled and emulated decades later.

Update 05 March 2008: Thanks to Cody B at MOG I realized I forgot to qualify the above review. With regard to dance-ability and hip to motion quotient, it references the Everybody Loves the Sunshine record, not The Third Eye track specifically. Phenomenal record.
