Lifeline

by Roy Ayers Ubiquity, Roy Ayers

Overview

Although Lifeline captures Roy Ayers in creative freefall, his commercial prospects never looked brighter. The record's clear highlight, "Running Away," proved a monster club hit, galvanized by Ayers' eccentric vocal, an infectious melody and an absolutely killer bassline. ~ Jason Ankeny
