CABARET TONIGHT IN SAN FRANCISCO: WILL DOWNING AT YOSHI'S

CABARET TONIGHT IN SAN FRANCISCO: WILL DOWNING AT YOSHI'S

Will Downing will appear at YOSHI'S(1330 Fillmore Street, San Francisco, CA - 415-655-5600) on Saturday, March 1st at 8:00 pm and Sunday, March 2nd at 7:00 pm. In his two decade recording career, the Brooklyn native has carved for himself a solid career as one of the leading purveyors of unapologetic, unabashed romantic music. And while this has not translated to crossover success - or even to broad urban radio success - it has gained for Downing a solid musical legacy and a rabidly loyal following. Downing had his first national exposure as a popular backing vocalist in the '80s before signing with Island Records. He recorded two modestly successful albums and had a minor hit with a cover of "A Love Supreme" before releasing his breakout 1991 album A Dream Fulfilled. It was a marvelous disc that showed Downing not only possessed a fine baritone voice but that he was also was an excellent song stylist, deftly handling such diverse songs as War's "The World Is A Ghetto" and Paul Davis's "I Go Crazy" and providing a stunning, definitive version of Angela Bofill's "I Try." Both the "I Try" single and the album hit the Urban top 25, and critical acclaim for the disc abounded. There is a $55-$80 cover.
