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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracks 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 catalogue a source of inspiration for soul, funk, hip-hop, and neo-soul artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHe's a Superstar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHe Ain't Heavy He's My Brother\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAin't Got Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Don't Know How to Love Him\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHe's Coming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe Live in Brooklyn Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweet Butterfly of Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweet Tears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFire Weaver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Verve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54398533304666,"sku":"5733744","price":29.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1481\/5374\/files\/roy-ayers-hes-coming.webp?v=1791272893","url":"https:\/\/freebirdrecords.com\/products\/roy-ayers-ubiquity-hes-coming-vinyl","provider":"Freebird Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
