Greatest Love Songs compiles many of smooth vocalist Will Downing's best and most passionate songs, beginning with his self-titled album (1988) and reaching all the way to his later work with Motown, All the Man You Need (2000). It's a nicely balanced compilation, featuring a few songs from each of Downing's albums, including some of his R&B hits such as "Free," "I Try," and "I Go Crazy." Since most of Downing's albums can be quite spotty, it's convenient to have a distillation of his work such as this, even if it focuses mostly on his more seductive and gentle songs. As an added bonus, Downing includes brief observations on each of the songs in the liner notes. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide

I love everything that Will sings. I would love to attend Seabreeze Jazz Fest where he will be appearing on Sat. April 18,2009. I have'nt given up yet.
So glad I discovered Will on Pandora. He is so so smooth. I could listen to him sing over, and over again. Thanks Pandora for creating opportunities to hear amazing artist such as Will Downing and many others.
This guy is the most romantic singer of his day. But here is a suggestion for all of Will's fans. Look for songs by a guy named Johnny Hartman who mostly did vocal for the great John Coltrane
