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 ↴
Maybe taking tomorrow off
No, no, I'm cool, this is not that dig
I just wanted to do something different
You know, something for me
Just take some time and forget about time
You know what I mean, I was thinking that maybe we
And just do something spontaneous
Do that one thing that you've always wanted to do
But you haven't done because your schedule won't permit you to
Now think about it, it can be anything that you want
Anything that your heart desires
I was thinking that maybe we could get together, maybe
Maybe we can just get away
Maybe lay in bed for a day
Maybe take a walk in the park
Baby, we can do whatever you want
Picture I had a way just to short fly away
We could spend all day in the sun just you and me baby
I could just stay at home but it's just not much fun alone
You could spend half of your day here in my arms
These loving arms just for one day, let's get away, let's get away, baby
Maybe I can steal you away
Sip some coffee at the cafe
Maybe we can talk for awhile
Anything you want baby
Maybe I can sit and look at your smile
Maybe you can come to my place
Picture you and white lingerie
I'd love to photograph you if that's okay
Baby we can make love
Baby we can make love
Maybe, yes maybe
Maybe babe, maybe babe
Maybe babe, maybe babe
Maybe baby
Maybe we can make love
Baby, we can make love
Maybe baby, baby

Maybe I could pause and admire your beautiful smile
Maybe you can come to my place
Perhaps you could come to my residence
Picture you and white lingerie
Imagining you wearing white lingerie
I'd love to photograph you if that's okay
I would take pleasure in taking photographs of you if you agree to that
Baby we can make love
We can express our love physically, my sweetheart
Maybe, yes maybe
It is a possibility, yes, a possibility
Maybe babe, maybe babe
Possibly, darling, possibly, darling
Maybe babe, maybe babe
Possibly, darling, possibly, darling
Maybe baby
Perhaps, my love
Maybe we can make love
We could indulge in sexual intimacy, perhaps
Baby, we can make love
Darling, we can engage in physical love-making
Maybe baby, baby
Perhaps, my dear, perhaps
