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.
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 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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 !
I love this song. I just get in my own world and imagine him singing to me 😂. It never gets old! He’s such a phenomenal artist 😊. That guy on the horn ain’t bad either 😊.
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 :-)
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.

I FEEL the,same,way....
I hope we don't wait till he's gone to appreciate him
i have all his CD's since the first one......
Phil Perry as well!
Plus his vocal lines are brilliant and clean
Nothing flamboyant, no fancy dancers, just kick ass singing.
True that..a performer of NOTE
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 ❤
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 !!!
