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

Promises
I know you heard them all from me
Seems like I'm the king of your, broken dreams
Ooh baby it's never enough time for us
Seems I'm always in a rush
How can I make it up to you
Baby I'll find a way
Do all the things, you like
I'll find a way
I'd find the words to say
Baby I'll find a way to you
If I had more time
I need to make more, more time
This time
This moment please, trust me with your heart
Can you give this foolish man a brand new start
Baby I'm willing to do anything and everything that
You want me to, all I do is ask you to
Trust me with your everything
[Chorus]
Cause I'll find a way
To make you stay
Do all the things, you like
Baby I'll find a way
I'd find the words
Baby I'll find a way to you
If I had more time
I need to make more, more time
This time
I promise you more (time)
I'll make sure that I'll make more (time)
I'll do all these things for you baby
This (time) I'll be sweeter (time)
Better believe that I'll be loving you
More and more and more
Seems like it's never enough
Time for us
Seems I'm always, always, always in a rush
How can I make it up... to you, to you, to you I
(Find a way)
Ooh Baby I'll find a way (find a way)
I've got to make you stay (make you stay)
Baby I'm gonna pray
Baby, Baby, Baby,
I'll (find a way) find
Baby I'll find a way to you, If I had more time
Tic Toc
If I had (more time) more time
