will downing I Can't Make You Love Me

[Ladyjazz62]

no NOT rachelle Farrel..!

[gwloganpoet]

Will, you always sing great, but, Bonnie Raitt own this song.

[wyneandroses]

You'll never understand this song unless you've through it. It hurts to the core, but God and time is the cure.

[jarbon5]

This was an awesome cover of this song:)

[Teboho28]

[ddgrn1]

love this song reminds me of my ex, that was our relationship in a nut shell

[shirus07]

Check the liner notes...it is Rachelle Ferrell unless some of you rewrote the song!!!

[topredog]

@shirus07 NOOO...it's MARVA KING!! Maybe YOU need to read the liner notes...lol

[MusixMan81]

Marva King is the one singing with Will. She was "Helen" in the Tyler Perry play of "Diary of a mad black woman"

[tefnutbellsouthnet]

@MusixMan81 you are absolutely correct you are truly a music man of greatness

[sherylj1966]

Simply Beautiful!!!!!!!!!

[daytimesdramaqueen]

Hey everyone, there have been may comments on the vocalist singing w/Will. The cd is entitled "Moods" & the young lady singing is Marva King not Shanice Wilson (sorry all you Shanice fans).

[rightlung1]

this version reminds me of Luther, oh man what a song

[justice30349]

FOR THOSE WHO ARE WONDERING WHO THE FEMALE IS SINGING WITH WILL...I KNEW AS SOON AS I HEARD THE VOICE...IT BELONGS TO SHANNICE WILSON( I LOVE YOUR SMILE)

[OnlyOneMrsJLewis]

[tefnutbellsouthnet]

[crucialconflict02]

[RAYMONDAMN]

cut the nights off music lol

[nessthorpe]

I love will downing voice and on this song Will's voice is soft base,smooth,sultry.coax, passionatly, seductivtly and when he finish sing this song to the lady you will not have to make her love you cause she will gladly, willingly, what to love need and want you Will cause you are the man.

[CHARMINONEAYERS1]

this is definetly not Rachelle to hear her check out nothing has ever felt like this it will blow you away I wish he had sung it by himself his voice gets to me like a delicious glass of wine this is beautiful still. the song is beautiful......

[vonymarie]

I have loved Wiil Downing since he came on the scene, but this song, gets to my heart & head, I can't make you love me, this is the song that always plays in my head when love is not returned.

[cuzimgd]

Nice remake with Marva King.

[tamagoatama602]

People.... the woman in this song is NOT Rachelle Ferrell. Her name is Marva King. You'll know Rachelle....she'll be the one shows up at your house and breaks her foot off in your ass for saying this is her.

[Msredhoney720]

@tamagoatama602 I don't think Rachelle is that Arrogant! But you are right it is very obvious that this is not Rachell.

[Venomousvenom502]

Fine. This man is Fine........

[rbord52003]

THE LOVE OF MY LIFE -- TEARS AND MY HEART ALWAYS -RB

[rbord52003]

love his song --- RB

[nanna0131]

I feel this song so deep inside.

[cyrylla87]

Well, people, just listen to few seconds of this song sung by a wonderful girl:

youtube.com/watch?v=kxi_H3q5m_­Q&feature=related

Brilliant performance, sensibility and big voice!

[squishyj]

It's Rachelle Ferrell. And this is by far the best version of this song, with apologies to all of the others who've recorded it.

[rollinhard7]

@squishyj, It's not Ferrell. Ferrell's voice is husky and sultry. He sang another song with Ferrell.

[divasmelody]

There are many variations to this song, Bonnie Raitt, Boyz 2 Men, Prince, Tank, Patti Labelle, Will, everybody sings it great in their own way....this song moves me...I love it! Thanx for posting

[Fbaise1]

@divasmelody I think if he was still with us, Luther Vandross would have done a fabulous job!

[AuraStudios]

@divasmelody + sophie milman, lucie silvas, candy dulfer

[536767676533766]

Smooth like buter

[jarbon5]

Went and looked it up (out of curiosity, and I see that I ain't the only one that was curious about it). But, the woman that's accompanying Will Downing here, her name Marva King. They've made a splendiferously wonderful remake of this song:)

[memfisman]

Sho nuff can't! Wonderful!

[BB08DD]

gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oood

[BB08DD]

goooood

[BB08DD]

gooood

[BB08DD]

goood

[BB08DD]

good

[kdavis002]

The song was actually written by Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin and recorded by Bonnie Raitt. Love this version, but Bonnie's will always be my fave bc it was first, I guess.

[wandad1999]

The female voice is Chante Moore. I brought this cd,

[gcama10]

I definitely like this version. And this Marva King has a very pretty voice.

[jo22338601]

Lovely and moving written by Ms. Bonnie Rhett blue eyed soul sister anyone can delight us with this tune it is so lovely. Prince does it so right also.Wonderful song.

[thekidJess]

is that female voice chante moore?

[msescriven]

timeless, timeless

[Holleawood]

The female voice is Marva King.

[BlkIce707]

the female vocal is shanice

[plinioscarabein]

maybe is Rachelle Ferrell

[BlkIce707]

@plinioscarabein the female vocal is shanice

[tamagoatama602]

@plinioscarabein Rachelle Ferrell????? I guess you have never heard her sing. This woman has a sweet voice but it doesn't come even remotely close to sounding like Rachelle's powerhouse voice.

[angeflc]

@plinioscarabein That is for sure Kenya Hathaway...I am almost sure ;)

[lasbeur]

@plinioscarabein yes is Rachelle

[rollinhard7]

@lasbeur It's NOT Rachelle. Some of you have obviously never heard Ferrell's voice. Ferrell sang,"Nothing Has Ever Felt" with Will Downing.

[ggilbertsr]

@plinioscarabein yes

[tefnutbellsouthnet]

@plinioscarabein no way definitely not Rachelle, yes its Marva King

[1onlyrjfd]

the lady is michelle ferrell....wonderfulm peice....mmmmmmm!

[plinioscarabein]

i think Marva King

[BlkIce707]

@plinioscarabein the female vocal is by shanice

[Fbaise1]

Who is the female singer?

[SweetestSerenity74]

This man just takes me to a place that makes me never want to leave. Silky. Smooth. Sexy. I'll be seeing you in Indy in December!

[goodwill732]

oooh man dis song still my numba 1

[butterphlybutter4]

meant melt...oopz

[butterphlybutter4]

that voice just makes me felt....completely

[036linds]

I love him so much he"s the kind of man that I will fall in love with. The song just does that.

[swtnurse26]

I adore him. Loved seeing him live.

[skimes11]

Hey everyone! Just a reminder that Will Downing's new album "Lust, Love & Lies (An Audio Novel)" comes out today, September 14th! Be sure to pick up the album at your local music store or download from iTunes!

[dsmit096]

I love this song. He took his time with this piece; his voice is spectacular. The woman sounds like Denise Williams. Does anyone know who she is?

[daytimesdramaqueen]

@dsmit096 looked @ cd..its Marva King :)

[dsmit096]

@daytimesdramaqueen thanks for the info.

[josshines]

With all of the true soul voices gone ,Luther,Teddy, Barry, it's good to still have Will Downing to let us remember  how good real R&B can be.

[nexlifetime]

I have heard many renditions of this song, but Will captures the trues essence. No matter how hard I try, i will never be able to make you love me...if you don't...No need to pretend!

[wigglenjiggle1]

i got to meet him

[petercox9]

ain't it the truth, ruth...you just can't make someone love you and that kill a person with kindness is utter bullsh*t. you can lavish love upon someone and all it will do is make them have contempt for you being such a fool in the first place. this song has kept me company as i faced the sad bitter truth. thank you, will downing...if you can sing a song about losing at love...then, it makes me feel a helluva lot better...

[Deegles1]

He did an excellent job with this song.

[natwon1]

*such vocal, acrobatic, musical ecstasy* (Will Downing WHERE ARE YOU)??

[OldSoul1979]

O Yes...A soft and true ballad; song originally by the legendary Bonnie Rate, but done passionately by Will and soloist Marva King...

[billywoods69]

Ya should see him in cocert,it's a must see ...Will be killin them,thanks Will for the songs man,you was born to sing...

[10251991JRH]

Boyz ii men did that too!

[CavalierMoneyLeague]

Wish I could where does he play these days? I love will Dowing.....

[anoel55]

This song traveled with me to the mountains of north carolina-this man and two other artists kept me company-that was 12 years ago. This record still moves me in the same way. This is the meaning of 'classic'.

[timlon56]

the version fits his style (excellent) keep it going will

[jarbon5]

I still put Bonnie's version on top, cuz she mothered this song, and I just love hearing her sing this. But, I have to say, Will's version is running a very close second. His version is stepping on the back of the shoes of Bonnie's version, though! This is so beautiful. Love that Will gave this song the "treatment"!

[kHANIEm]

This arrangement is awesome!!!!!

[kHANIEm]

This song is so true.....

Its My Anthem!!!!

[firsteboniqueen]

@brandonmurrell1...no that's Marva King

singing with Will

[birdiee5]

this song mann...its that over nd over type stuff.

[mntombel]

This is the best rendition

[JSUalumTwirler01to03]

This song is so true to its lyrics...You cannot make anyone love you, and there are so many that do; not realizing the reality of the matter.

[tmac846]

Will Downing will make you take your PANTIES off!!

[miyi86]

fine song this
