Emerging at the start of the 1970s, the album reflects Ayers’s deepening move toward a groove-centered musical language rooted in soul-jazz and early jazz-funk. The vibraphonist, keyboardist, composer, and bandleader is supported by a core ensemble that includes Harry Whitaker on electric piano, organ, and vocals; John Williams on bass, with Ron Carter featured on “We Live in Brooklyn, Baby”; David Lee Jr. and Billy Cobham on drums and percussion; guitarists Sam Brown and Bob Fusco; saxophonist Sonny Fortune; and percussionist Juma Santos. Tracks like “He’s a Superstar”, “Sweet Butterfly of Love,” and “Fire Weaver” embody the record’s mix of urban narrative, spiritual reflection, and deep rhythmic momentum—qualities that would later make Ayers’s catalog a source of inspiration for soul, funk, hip-hop, and neo-soul artists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracks:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 He's a Superstar\u003cbr\u003e2 He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother\u003cbr\u003e3 Ain't Got Time\u003cbr\u003e4 I Don't Know How to Love Him\u003cbr\u003e5 He's Coming\u003cbr\u003e6 We Live in Brooklyn Baby\u003cbr\u003e7 Sweet Butterfly of Love\u003cbr\u003e8 Sweet Tears\u003cbr\u003e9 Fire Weaver\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49462729867402,"sku":null,"price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0361\/4955\/9434\/files\/draft-26-aaeb1fe93ff84d28977832dc5e5b9291.jpg?v=1779892929","url":"https:\/\/afkbooksandrecords.com\/products\/ayers-roy-ubiquity-hes-coming","provider":"AFK Books \u0026 Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
