Singing with Arthur Baker's group, Wally Jump Junior, Downing then used Baker as a producer when he was signed to Island Records. Before releasing his own album, Will Downing appeared on tracks with many other artists, including Daryl Payne, Marc Sadane, Warp 9 and Jennifer Holiday.

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.

Will Downing Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Christmas stockings line the fireplace
Fire shadow dancing on your face
There is nothing served better
Than this moment together
I have Christmas, love and you

You and I as one perfectly
It's like heaven's hands made you for me

There is nothing served better
Thank this moment together
I have Christmas, love and you

There is snow everywhere
And the feeling in the air makes the season the one for sharing love
As we walk hand in hand I begin to see the reason why we came to be and all you mean to me ohhhhh

(Pause to music)

There is snow everywhere
And the feeling in the air makes the season the one for sharing love.
As we walk hand in hand I begin to see the reason why we came to be and all you mean to meee ohhhhh

Tender moments shared a special day
It's so wonderful my words can't explain
There is nothing served better than this moment together
I have Christmas, love and you
Love and you

Merry Christmas love, my love, oh my my love
