Downing,Will Black Pearls CD

2016 release from the soul great. Will Downing, widely known as The Prince of Sophisticated Soul, is an icon in both the R&B and jazz worlds. Having sold more than four million albums in his brilliant career, Will continues to tour nonstop to the delight of his devoted fans. Black Pearls is an homage to some of the greatest female vocalists in the history of R&B: a collection of superstar R&B songbird classics, re-imagined from a male point of view! Featuring guest appearances by Kirk Whalum and Najee and a full string ensemble, with arrangements and production by such superstar producers as Barry Eastmond (who has produced the likes of Aretha Franklin and Anita Baker) and Chris "Big Dog" Davis (George Clinton, Najee, Kim Burrell), Black Pearls is the crowning achievement of Will Downing's 28 year career.
