Editorial Reviews

Out of print in the U.S.! Soul/R&B singer Will Downing may have the chops to become a Soul sensation, but for 20 years, the elusive 'big hit' has remained out of grasp. Despite the lack of 'super' stardom, Downing has done quite well, as this 1991 album, his third, proves. 10 tracks including 'She', 'I'll Wait', 'For All We Know' and more. Universal. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

All of Will's efforts are stupendous...but this..little gem..hasn't been topped yet. It certainly deserves more than 5 stars! Every single song..and I do mean every single song..is magnificent! Smooth grooves...mellow melodies! The man's voice is an absolute wonder...

At the time that I first heard this album I was working at a record store in Houston. It was then, as it is now my all time favorite album. The album runs through the complete emotions of a man from that first meeting of a woman to the pain of a break up (you have to really listen to get a full understanding).

If you consider yourself a fan of good music you owe it to yourself to get this CD.

Will is one of the most underrated male artists in recent history. He gets almost no love in the U.S., probably because he can't really be pigeonholed into one category or neatly packaged in a radio playlist. I consider Will a Jazz artist, but he definitely has an R&B sensibility. He has enjoyed some success periodically, mostly in the adult contemporary format, but this man is a fantastic vocalist. I think his biggest hit to date was a duet with Rochelle Ferrell "Nothing Has Ever Felt Like This" from his later CD "Love's the Place To Be."

I bought this CD for his cover of Angela Bofill's "I Try" and was pleasantly surprised to discover several really good tracks. I remember seeing the striking black and white video for "I Try." I was impressed by his voice, phrasing and bearing. I once heard a live version of that song done as a duet with Will and Ms. Bofill. It was absolutely delightful.

Will's interpretation of the standard "For All We Know" is stellar. I also really like "She" and "I go Crazy."
