Throughout his career as a prolific recording artist, Ayers has produced numerous hits including "Everybody Loves The Sunshine" and "Running Away". He has also collaborated with renowned musician Fela Kuti on the track "Africa - Centre Of The World", showcasing his versatility and talent across various genres.

In addition to his own success, Ayers is also known for being the father of Roy Ayers III. With a massive back catalogue of work and a unique blend of funk, soul, and jazz influences, Roy Ayers continues to captivate audiences worldwide with his exceptional musical abilities.

Lifeline, Roy Ayers Ubiquity’s inimitable, influential 1977 fusion of jazz, pop, funk, and disco, will be reissued on vinyl in honor of the album’s 40th anniversary. Among the most popular of the prolific vibraphonist-keyboardist-composer-vocalist Ayers’ 20 albums for the label; the record is best known for containing one of the jazz-funk pioneer’s most popular tracks and biggest singles, “Running Away,” which peaked at No. 19 on the R&amp;B chart and became a massive club hit with its irresistible disco-funk groove. Other compelling tracks on the set include the compulsively rhythmic Cincinnati Growl, the euphoric, horn-laded Sanctified Feeling, the lush ballad Gotta Find a Lover, and the jubilant acid jazz closer Together
