In 1988, Downing finally made his solo debut, releasing the self-titled Will Downing. The album featured a new version of John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme." The track did not fair well on the R&B charts but it managed to reach #4 on the Dance charts. In the United Kingdom, "A Love Supreme" managed to reach #14 on the singles charts.
Downing has released many albums throughout his career, always on the brink of stardom but never quite making it. In 1989 he released Come Together As One and in '91, Dream Fulfilled. The latter featured the single "I Try" which reached #13 on the R&B charts, Downing's best performance to date.
1993 saw Downing's fourth album release with Love's the Place to Be. In 1995, he released Moods and in 1997, Invitation Only. Continuing his steady stream of releases, 1998 saw Pleasures of the Night, 2000 offered All the Man You Need and in 2002, Sensual Journey.
With so many albums under his belt, Downing never slows down, releasing Emotions in 2003, Christmas, Love and You in 2004 and Soul Symphony in 2005.
While Will Downing has never been a massive celebrity in the United States, he has seen reasonable success in the United Kingdom.

The lyrics of "Anything" by Will Downing express the desire of the singer to be loved and desired by his partner. He wants his partner to be open to him and to convince him that he is worth their time and effort. The lyrics offer a powerful invitation to intimacy - to hold, kiss, and show the depth of their feelings. Once the partner does convince him, however, the singer promises to give himself fully, to satisfy them in any way they desire, and to do anything for them.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is looking for someone to give himself to completely, but only if they can convince him of their worth. He values himself highly and is not willing to waste his time on someone who is not ready for a serious commitment. However, if the partner does live up to his expectations, he promises to be their best partner and to do anything they ask of him. Overall, the song is a call to emotional vulnerability and a promise of emotional depth and satisfaction within a loving relationship.
