Ayers began his career as a post-bop jazz artist, releasing several albums with Atlantic Records, before his tenure atPolydor Records beginning in the 1970s, during which he helped pioneer jazz-funk. The album culminates with “Everybody Loves the Sunshine,” which Ayers sings in unison with his vivacious young partner, Chicas. Roy Ayers (born September 10, 1940) is an American funk, soul, and jazz composer and vibraphone player. Ayers devises unusual and ingenious rhythmic ideas, which (as on “The Third Eye”) seem to at once stalk listeners and hover over them.

The album is drenched in layers of piano and synthesizer. Bolstered by drummer Doug Rhodes, bassist John “Shaun” Solomon, and guitarist Ronald “Head” Drayton, the album has an exuberance not seen since Ayers’ early days. Reinvigorated by a new backing band, Roy Ayers reached a high-water mark in 1976 with Everybody Loves the Sunshine.
