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 ↴
You know you got me wrapped around your fingers
And you can have me..... yeah
Have me anyway you want me sugar (you know I'm down)
Cause if you need it
You need a little more affection
Not just plans of undressing baby
If your really (you want a real connection)
Romance and a little passion
I'm wanting your (love suggestions)
Whatever's on your menu
Right away baby I'll serve it up
And If I can't get through
No worries please (I'll save it up)
All you gotta do is say it, just say it and (you'll get your wish)
Any way you wanna play it just say it and
I'm officially yours
You need a little more affection
Not just plans of undressing baby
