Fantastic song, I used to drive my stepfather crazy playing this over and over when I was getting ready for a night out. I'm in my 50s now and he's no longer with us but this always makes me think of him!
My lady has just got tickets to see Will ….looking at the promo the Gent has aged really well …this gent and Kasheef …two talented gents from yonder year , Will very Luther in voice and sound ..Kasheefs Rumour album was sublime
Knockoff wow who said that ? This man has a different level of richness and emotion to his voice that compliments what Luther had they are both incredible artists that are equally ❤
When I listen to Will Downing , I hear Will Downing.. Luther Vandross is on his own Pedestal and this man is on his own. They both have their own distinctive voices that you can hear apart. Whomever said that or implied it was tone deaf.
where are you now mr. downing! i found you away back in 1988 in london and have found your timeless music again on youtube. still a fab tune and still a floor filler. your a real soul legen d now!
The Chorus Melody & the Song itself is a "Hommarge" to the Jazz Legend - John Coltrane - who's track of the same name, revolutionised Jazz and the way harmony was thought of at the time - "Great track - Love IT !"
Ah, Will back during his rather humble beginnings on the Island label. Who'd have guessed he'd still be around over 30 years later putting out some of the finest "grown folks" music around (at least here in the US where it's not always in huge supply)??? Could've been a much bigger star than he is now, but the man decided it was better to just stay true to his craft in the long run. God bless him for doing so, he's earned my respect and that of many others who have been turned on to his vibe since then.
Saw Will twice at the Manchester Apollo back in the 80s. The first time was particularly brilliant. The album hadn't been out long and he was genuinely overwhelmed by the reception he got, sitting with his legs dangling over the front of the stage asking us what we wanted him to sing. A great night and a great voice.
Any Jazzers out there will always think of the name of John Coltrane, whenever a love supreme is mentioned, same titile, different eras, different musical genres, with this track being Will Downing's breakthrough record back in 1988,his rich baritone voice really comes to the fore on this track
i used to listen to this CD, when it came out, on SUNDAY, when the BAR of my parents was closed, and i used to spend the day cleaning inside, a brilliant happy memory TY W. D.
I've had so many loves in my lifetime So many special memories. But never have I been so enchanted by someone Never has love been so for real you give me love A love supreme A love supreme A love supreme A love supreme A love supreme A love supreme A love supreme A love supreme. I have faith in the word God's given us Now there's a light that shines tor me. I'm thankful for all the love you've given me Never has love been so for real, you give me A love supreme A love supreme A love supreme A love supreme My life's been filled with contentment You brought me joy I never knew Feels like a new beginning. My life is complete now that I've found you. A love supreme A love supreme. A love supreme A love supreme A love supreme A love supreme
I had been listening to this song for a few years but didn't realise who he's singing about, then one evening i was feeling lonely while back packing in Sumatra and a love supreme rained down on me and i was filled with Gods love ❤❤❤❤
beautiful and classical song should have gone number 1 also a very beautiful latino lady wow what a lucky guy will downing must be his wife if she is I wish them happyness, great and talented singer too. also liked his song with Mica Paris where is the love another great song, blessings to mr. Downing..
In 2008, I got the chance, for one season only, to go to every game - home and away - of my team. I covered some miles that season. This was, sort of, an anthem for that time. Finished top five, beaten in the playoffs. Quite a season 🙂
Lucky enough to have worked for one of the best record companies in the world - Polygram, Island records and their phenomenal roster of talent - grooved to this tune many times in the late 80’s..such wonderful memories as a 26 year old.
Oh boy, those horns in the intro... Love this song, so smooth... Other than this aong, I don't remember Will Downing having any further hits besides Where Is The Love? with Mica Paris, but I love his sound and vibe - sad that he wasn't able to keep that early run of hits going...
This song takes me back to Amsterdam in the 80's. The Escape at Rembrandtsplein, The IT in the Amstelstraat, The Bios at Leidseplein and all the other clubs around those areas. Great song to drive on too!
Quite rightly people are mentioning John Coltrane as being a source of inspiration for this track, but how about a little praise for the guy who is actually playing some amazing lines all through it? Stanley Turrentine, a fantastic player in his own right.
Great Memories-Thanks 4 Posting
Sounding good in 2024 👍🏻
oh my teenage years. It’s still such a tune even in 2023 ❤❤❤❤
Fantastic song, I used to drive my stepfather crazy playing this over and over when I was getting ready for a night out. I'm in my 50s now and he's no longer with us but this always makes me think of him!
Saw him at Hammersmith in the 90s great vocalist ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Saw him at the Jazz Cafe (Camden) 20 years ago
Such an underrated song
Agreed.
Brilliant tune so soulful and beautiful
@Michelle Watts hey
Not in 1990, it wasn’t. Just go to The Paradise Garage and you would’ve heard how much it was NOT “underrated”!
@@mcbrion1951 I was born 1994 so wouldn't know 🙁
Oh my! This has taken me back. It's true that a great song is timeless❤

I'm 45 in 2023 but going on 10 in 1988 hearing this masterpiece again :-)
I don't care if people thought he was a knockoff Luther vandross Will Downing is a Talented Brother
Knockoff wow who said that ? This man has a different level of richness and emotion to his voice that compliments what Luther had they are both incredible artists that are equally ❤
No fing knock off , i was listening ing to wills tune in UK long before luther, both are totally fantastic but I feel will has the edge.. .
When I listen to Will Downing , I hear Will Downing.. Luther Vandross is on his own Pedestal and this man is on his own. They both have their own distinctive voices that you can hear apart. Whomever said that or implied it was tone deaf.
Luther knockoff??? Which dumbass said that
@@cwcw4805 .. Will has the jazz
One of the coolest tracks ever. 30 years old and sounding better than ever.
A Pure Class composition 🎶👌 (Just LOVE the Sax 🎷✨) A fave to this day! 💖📀
As soon as it came out on radio London me and my mate got that song in the bank .
Such a classic 80’s Tuuuuuuuune! Love it 😍 upbeat feel good vibe he’s got such a rich vocal ❤
where are you now mr. downing! i found you away back in 1988 in london and have found your timeless music again on youtube. still a fab tune and still a floor filler. your a real soul legen d now!
May I say this tune is fantastic 🙂
those magical DX7 chimes... orange summer evenings of the 80's, there goes the childhood...
The DX7.. yes! 🤓👍🏾
The Chorus Melody & the Song itself is a "Hommarge" to the Jazz Legend -
John Coltrane - who's track of the same name, revolutionised Jazz
and the way harmony was thought of at the time - "Great track - Love IT !"
Heard it today in the supermarket
Dunno why ...I sang it for the rest of the day. This song recalls so many special memories..
Ah, Will back during his rather humble beginnings on the Island label.

Still sounds just as good today as it did 30 years ago, Pure Class for sure.

Love Will Downing ❤
This song takes me back to Amsterdam in the 80's. The Escape at Rembrandtsplein, The IT in the Amstelstraat, The Bios at Leidseplein and all the other clubs around those areas. Great song to drive on too!

I got so many memories to this song-❤️
What a beautyfull "song" 🙏🤍⚜
Wow beautiful song
One of my very favourites. Endless vibes.
Great track and fantastic sax throughout
Quite rightly people are mentioning John Coltrane as being a source of inspiration for this track, but how about a little praise for the guy who is actually playing some amazing lines all through it? Stanley Turrentine, a fantastic player in his own right.
Will and John Coltrane awsome❤This was his first hit over seas
yeah superb
Its quite amazing that these young musicians even the mighty john mclaughlin come from jazz musicians like John Coltrane so stellar.
Just incredible
DAMN! This is so smooth
Was only 18 when this came out ❤ where are now un 2024 cant beat 80 s music honestly😊
