Downing is seriously underrated. I honestly think that he is one of the best male vocalists ever. Smooth, excellent control, and that tone! Just beautiful.
Will Downing has remained true to R&B / Jazz as one this genre of music pioneers still today. Just classy, sexy, smooth, and a pleasure for the eyes- and ears!
Really great vocals, a once in a lifetime voice, in line with Luther VanDross, I feel really grateful to have seen in concert, and will hold that memory a lifetime with hope's of catching another concert. I love his voice and helping couples remember ❤
WILL DOWNING, A MAN SO EXPRESSIVE LOVING AND SENSUOUS EVERYTHING HE SINGS IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS I IM SO HAPPY TO FIND A MAN WHO SHARES HIS FEELINGS AND LOVE IS IN EVERY SONG HE DOES!!!
Candles, flowers, bottle of wine on a table for two and this playing in the background definitely sets the mood on. Will Downing he's the best of all time.
Amazing totally amazing how Mr Downing kept the song true to its original tone and rhythm, but yet added depth to the song with his strong baritone and lite falsetto and piano embellishments.
I was a fan when I saw him do a USO show when I was stationed in Panama but after that, I'm a forever grateful fan. talk about baby-makin' music! young folks, listen up & get some knowledge.
My husband doesn't understand why Will is MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE MALE SINGER. Says he only sings everyone else's songs. I say he sings them better and makes them his own.!!!
Today is Mar. 26, 2020 and I'm here to get my Will fix. With all the craziness going on I had to come to a place of peace. Will does that for me. His smoothness takes me to places beyond measure. Love this man. I too am wishing on a star.
I have been a fan since the 90s, this guy is underated he is one of the best male vocalist of our time...this is taken from a London underground club. saw him in san fran...will is the man. just look at the heart and soul he put into this jam, had the sax man art porter mesmerized...lol...sing my brother...
Nov.29th: Happy birthday R&B-Jazz Singer-songwriter Will Downing. Recipient: International Association of African American Music Diamond Award. Thank you and God bless. Thanks for the upload. Blessings
best rendition of this song... the back-up fully compliments the style and substance of this outstanding improvisation... nothing can make the best rendition of this song in slow heavy beat...
One of the greatest.a gift to the musical mind of man's deepest emotional inner place.TRANQUILITY, SOLITUDE just a resting place of calm for the spirit.yes Underated for sure,but if u know him u have what they don't have.A Spei Place !
This was one of the key tracks off Will's 2nd album (1989's 'Come Together As One') that signaled his eventual transition over to fully-formed "grown folks" music on his 1991 breakthrough effort 'A Dream Fulfilled'. Homeboy put in fine work in this promo vid even though I still prefer the original 8-minute album version to this day. Many on here keep comparing him to the late great Luther Vandross, but I personally don't hear the resemblance whatsoever. Will's ultra-rich baritone voice and deeply intimate approach to a song reminds me of the late "unsung" R&B/Soul/Jazz balladeer Jon Lucien, truth be told.
this was his 1st release, i live here in DC and our jazz station use to play this then he did a show here and NO ONE really knew who he was ti; he came out with the song Sorry I, I've been a fan since 88 this is when this came out WOW, I LOVE U WILL :-)
This kind of music is for the GROWN & SEXY. You know......that kind of music that has that jazzy/sexy/ feel appeal to it. If you know what I'm talkin' about....throw it up!!!
I don't know where I've been--but when I heard this I went to a place in my head and heart that is beautiful--like when I was young and in love. I'm going back again. Thanks to Will and those smooth musicians
Will is made of steel the unique artistry of serenading and mezmorizing acoustic sounds he's absolutely a mood and his unimaginable talent is forever a vibe I love Will the one and only🔥🔥
Downing is seriously underrated. I honestly think that he is one of the best male vocalists ever. Smooth, excellent control, and that tone! Just beautiful.

John Lucien may in fact be just as good or perhaps even better. Both, are in a class by themselves. Pure talent. Divine.

Malinda - I have to admit I had never heard of Will Downing before, but I agree that he does sound reminiscent of Luther at times.
You sooo right. Beautiful !!!
Your comment is beautiful!
One of the few vocalists we have left alive. That has that velvety voice. 🙌🏾
The piano...he doing his thing!! Beautiful

He looks like my dad. He played also. Change the hairstyle to round and they could pass for twins

The man has survived the test, the time being under rated, but it still one of the Dopest

Each to his own. Marvin Gaye is my heart, nothing like a smooth crooner/ ballader Love singers.
Luther and WILL AND Marvin and BARRY
Tell your husband that Will Downing’s voice is an instrument in and of itself. He is a whole mood. Love him…👀💕🤗🙏

I love this version by Will Downing!!!
Outstanding artist! It's great to hear real singing!
Yes i agree it is Real, very unique👑
The velvet voice of Master Will Downing.
Luther can't touch him...
One of the true vocalist of this era,a true crooner.
Really shameful that they don"t make music like this anymore...could hear this over and over again..Love Will music all day long!
One smooth operator that stands the test of time. Immensely talented and a tremendous asset to the music community.
Downing is one of the three greatest male vocalists of all times...Downing, Marvin Gaye, and Nat King Cole.

He truly is a crooner! Smooth, melodic, sexy voice. He’s often slept on. Folks missing out.
Will Downing sings with sooo much passion. HE MAKES ME WEAK!!! :-)
