OMG this man has the voice of the age, so masculine and unaffected. Why he has not gotten the accolades that folk with 0.00000000000000000000000001% of his talent get all day long, is one of the great mysteries of the century. He has what they used to call "a signature in his voice" which you just don't get anymore. Actually there are very few singers with that; you can count them on one hand and have fingers left over. Thank you Will! We long for your voice! I don't say "a voice like yours" because Luther Vandross, in an old interview, said that say such a thing was, for him, an insult. You don't want to sound "LIKE" anyone else. He went on to say that he was very grateful that no one had ever told him that he "sounded like" anyone else. The same goes for his highness, Will Downing. AND...of course, he surrounds himself with fellow show-stopper Gerald Albright and even though I don't know the other musicians, they are alway--here and on all his recording--the absolute "annointed" ---from the drummers to guitarists to the pianist---oh my my my! You can take them all to the bank! lol.
I only came across this other night. I am a music addict - the more I listen, the more beautiful it gets - going by your comment, I think you've got the message across!! but I totally agree with you
These jazz artist knows who to go to when they need a vocalist. Will KNOCKS IT OUT OF THE PARK everytime !!! He doesn't miss. This is a MASTERPIECE. One of my favs.
One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded! This rendition by Will Downing and Gerald Albright is simply amazing! Words cannot describe this masterpiece! Beautifully done!
That song never gets old, man. I'm a lot older than I was when I first heard this "back when" on San Diego's 98.1 KIFM, but it still fills my heart with the same emotional sigh as it did back then. ❤😊 Thank you, Sir Albright. 🙏
This man is so very comfortable with his voice ...and what it can do!!! Will takes his time...and just kills this classic....awesome brother....awesome !!!
there is a sexiness with certain artist's that can put their inner feelings into the songs that they sing that touches your soul & your inner being..Will Downing is one of those artist...
Mr Albright doing again his THANG ...he was in so many so many good things(good cos him maybe) in music back in time...and still is maybe no other of the great sax mans of his era can't match his success.
Will Downing could sing Candy bar wrappers and I would be front & center! His voice is sooooooo deep & rich! I just love anything that he graces his voice to sing. So, his voice coupled with Gerald Albright is pure heaven!!!!!! 💋💋💋
ME & MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE HAD THE PLEASURE WILL DOWNING & GERALD ALBRIGHT AT THE SANGER THEATER IN NEW ORLEANS,WHAT AN EXCELLENT SHOW. BROTHA WILL IS THAT DUDE.
A couple of people suggested a listen to David Craig's cover of this song. I did & I like Will's cover better. I understand the appeal DC has for his audience. The two artist are from different generations / eras and their appeal to their audience will reflect that. Please understand the term "music appreciation". That's what it is folks, not music competition. No artist should be cut down or knocked for their style or talent. Let's just enjoy the artist & the music. Thanks for the tip on DC.

Who is listening to this in 2024. Will is so smooth. Love it. Keep jamming. Real music ❤❤
I'm here
