by Jay Sweet
published 2026-02-01
(RAHWAY, NJ) -- On Valentine's Day, while couples scramble for dinner reservations and last-minute roses, Will Downing has a better plan. He'll be taking the stage at the Union County Performing Arts Center in Rahway, NJ, offering an evening of songs built on romance, memories, and that unmistakable sultry baritone that has soundtracked jazz-infused R&B songs about relationships for more than three decades. For the men unsure how to impress on February 14, he keeps it simple. "You don't gotta say nothing," he laughed. "Just sit there, nod your head, act like you like the guy on stage. Your lady will be happy." It's classic Will Downing - charming, self-aware, and conversational.
