Will Downing (born Wilfred Downing, November 29, 1963, Brooklyn, New York), is an American R&B soul singer and songwriter. Downing is married to singer Audrey Wheeler, who was previously a member of the short lived R&B group Unlimited Touch. In 1988, Downing signed a recording contract with 4th & Broadway Records, and his first solo album, Will Downing, was released that same year. His version of the John Coltrane piece, "A Love Supreme", reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart and No.14 on the UK pop chart. He had another Top 20 pop chart hit in the UK the following year with "Where Is the Love?," a duet with Mica Paris and remake of the Roberta Flack/Donny Hathaway classic. Downing switched to Island Records for his second album, Come Together As One (1989). Switching labels to Mercury for his fourth outing, 1993's Love's the Place to Be, Downing scored his best-selling album to date with about 235,000 copies sold in the United States and over 300,000 copies in the UK. He remained with Mercury for two more albums, Moods in 1995 and Invitation Only in 1997, both of which sold well. All the Man You Need received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Traditional R&B Album in 2000. The album included "When You Need Me", a duet single with Chante Moore.
