RAMP aka Roy Ayers Music Productions was a soul/jazz group led by the great vibes player widely known for his composition “Everybody Loves the Sunshine.” The group’s lone album Come Into Knowledge is considered a rare groove classic and has been sampled on tracks by Erykah Badu, Mary J. Blige, Common, PM Dawn, A Tribe Called Quest. There’s a certain undeniable magic to those warm Rhodes-heavy grooves… You most likely recognize it from A Tribe Called Quest’s “Bonita Applebaum” which samples the opening guitar riff / groove on “Daylight.”
