This one video justifies RUclips's entire existence. Thank you Willy, thank you poster. Never heard of this guy, and I've been missing out, what a legend.
I was lucky to see him live with Mink Deville in San Francisco many years ago and have loved him ever since. He absorbed so many influences, from Cajun to Spanish to R&B, and made something of his own. And such a moving singer. He also had a heroin problem and a sad personal life. He was only 58 when he died. But the music was so incredible.
Willie,solo in grande amore di Rok ritmi spagnoli affascinanti,sentiremo troppo la tua mancanza,eri unico in questo genere,tu vivrai nei nostri cuori.❤😢🎉
When I lived in NYC in the 80's I saw two concerts back to back. The first was The Rolling Stones in a huge stadium, distant, faceless, empty. The next night was Willy Deville at the intimate Bottom Line. One was a consumer product. Willy was the true artist.
How I loved MINK DE VILLE & THE ONE & ONLY WILLY DE VILLE....from mid seventies until today Mr WILLY DE VILLE is/was one...if not the most exciting band ever....Im still listening to him & his excellent band...timeless. From Australia.
Willy was all about the heart n soul, he never phoned it in. Interestingly, I read that Willy and Mick Jagger had a dislike of each other, as their paths crossed through their mutual acquaintance Jack Nietszche..
Hello Matt.It's a very small world man. Nowadays I'm living in the netherlands., in Rotterdam. BUT I WAS ALSO AT THAT AMAZING CONCERT.! and I agree with you dude. My name is Ed. And thanks for sharing. Later.
@@precisionbrown6829 i'm sure it was about the bucks ... my point was, sorry for not making it more clear ... these guys you included did their thing without being 'the big guys', without the big USA success. I gave up on that career path when I hit that wall. And they still cranked out some of the best stuff of the era. Just incredible, thanks for the hard work and great times. God bless! (are you still playing?)
@pjbscript. I agree. If it were just for the money, he could have turned out crap like so many. It takes a ton of money just to move the band and play the venue. Some in the band don't realize that and become bitter. Willy always had the best band. But Willy was the only one who had that amazing voice.
... went to see him in concert back in the 90ts in Zurich, and man you can't describe his high contribution to the sound and atmosphere - he always was unique artist from a different planet
Warum bekomme ich nach so vielen Jahren immer noch Gänsehaut, wenn ich Freddy's Gitarre höre? Und es animiert mich immer noch zu tanzen. Ich erinnere mich an das Konzert in der Muffathalle, ich konnte ihm eine Rose 🌹 übergeben. Es gibt so viele gute Gitarristen, aber das Spiel hier berührt mein Herz auf eine ganz eigene Art. Love it so much!
In my twenties I bought the first two Mink DeVille albums and still have them. Listening to him would evoke early Van Morrison, Springsteen, Southside Johnny in their formative years. And Yes, Willy deserves R&R Hall of Fame recognition! Soul charisma.
Cannot believe that he is not alive anymorè. A heart and soul legend, as the Greek mythologie says: psychi and eros. In creole....I miss him too too much. May he rest in peace forever. Will never forget him.❤😢
I am an old man who discovered Mink DeVille thanks to a friend who had just bought "Le chat bleu" (only LPs back then, early 1980's). I did not connect so soon with it but I did. Willy has been a lifetime musical companion from then on and I am glad to see videos of him, even after his departure, RIP. One of the real good / bad guys.
Almost exactly the same history as myself. A friend loved hunted down no one else had heard of and one night he played “Le chat blue”. I was hooked from then on. Brilliant album, amazing artist. I’ve loved his music ever since. Unfortunately I never got to see him live but now I can watch him live on RUclips.
In the early 80’s I saw a German TV registration of Willy at Rockpalast and I was flabbergasted how he is living the music. I had to wait until the mid 90’s to see him live in Eindhoven and it was stunning how he plays his music in entire simplicity. No distractions only Willy doing his music.
This is such a good point. He DID give it all each and every time and each and every time I watched him descend into addiction and illness it killed me a little too in NYC.
Siempre me pregunto cómo es posible , que un artista tan enorme y carismático esté tan olvidado... Su voz es increíble , llena de matices. Era genuino!! Willy forever an my 💖
This song brings back all my ghosts, my demons, all my fuckin pain but when I hear this I realized I had overcome, the pain had turned into peace joy self-forgives and in my later years, I have come to know it is all perfect .. well done Willy RIP ...
Three songs, Soul Twist, Guardian Angel and this track. Classic Latin Rock-Punk/Blues. Very distinctive syncretism of musical influences. Greetings from Australia.
Willy Deville that boy and his band know how to kill the pain no matter how many times we hear this brilliant song it always kicks our Costa Mesa BUTTS Many Thanks my dear friends!!!!,
Yeah--music like that doesn't come out of Costa Mesa! Too clean--not gritty like lower east side NYC--have lived in So. Cal. and NYc.--Laurel Canyon sound more like it.
Isn’t it sad that this immense talent was never really allowed to blossom here in the US? Maybe allowed is the wrong word, but I find it hard to believe he wasn’t so much better known. What an amazing singer/songwriter/performer. And yes, Freddy Koella and the band are simply sublime. That guitar! Ye gods… I “discovered Willy when I was about 58, and have enjoyed him in the two + years since, so huge thank you to the poster. I listen to this song over and over, I love it so much. Rest in peace, Willy.
Willy was part Pequot native American out of Connecticut--hope their community is as proud and overwhelmed by this talent--irreplaceable--as the rest of us. Wonderful, wonderful Willy strung out but beyond beautiful talent.
I think he deserves a very public display of some kind--maybe old posters and biographical infomation--a new generation could seek him out and we older ones could remember with admiration and maybe new knowledge of his native heritage,
It was more than escaping NY which is where I was too on Mulberry St--couple of blocks from CBGBEES--it was escaping his insane girlfriend Toots--they gave new meaning to the French expression "folie a deux".
Ich habe ihn auch erst vor 7Jahren wieder gefunden, bin so froh darüber. Er hat nicht nur eine Stimme ist so vielseitig, und geht unter die Haut direkt in die❤❤❤. WUNDERVOLL !
Willie my brother and Benny the Frenchman I’m back ,,,, here we are again into 2021 you boys are helping us kill the pain in Costa Mesa California and yes we do love you thank you so much my dear friends!!!,?😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍺🥂🍻🍻
I saw Mink Deville play with my buddies Cap'n Swing (before they became the Cars) in Boston at the Rat a few times in mid 70s. Willie and his band was awewome, and played this great song and such cool music, so ahead of his time. Special times and those 2 bands made it even more so. And we partied hard.

One of the best performers I've known. Willy you will be for ever around. No one can replace this rough magic that you could bring while performing. LOVE
My dear friend I’m back Costa Mesa California Willy Deville Benny the Frenchman no matter how many times we hear this brilliant song it always kicks our ass thank you so much thank you so much
Willy, thank you very much for this fantastic, soulful song. He always accompanied me after visiting a concert in the 90s. You are and remain in my heart ........
I agree! Multi-talented. So direct, passionate and very tough. Hard to get into addicted lives. Few, really succeed. It beat them. But, it ruled by then. R.I.P.
Still in all there is some music that is timeless, in spite of the obvious flaws that the artist had.....what can one say. He was indeed a gift to humanity......
He will always be the best. Ich kann das gar nicht in Worte fassen, wie ich ihn verehre. Nur traurig, dass er das ganze tolle Feedback nicht mehr selbst lesen konnte. Er wäre bestimmt mega happy! 👑👑👑❤❤❤
That live Version kill me. I can't stop hear the song. Willy was very underrated when he was alive. In my opinion he was one of the best sing songwriter and rockstar. I love this Song
Why do we make judgement calls? Willy made a decision TO live; how, is his business. We were LUCKY to have known his incomparable talent for the time we did, and to have access to his legacy of music. Wherever he is now, I know he's groovin' ...
Increible! Meravellosa veu! El meu cantant preferit. El vaig anar a veure um any a les festes de La Mercé i em va regalar un clavell de paper que encara guardo. També vaig anar a veure'l una altra cop al que va tornar. Enamorat de Catalunya, enamorada d'ell. Ara fa feliços als angels allà on sigui. Sempre al cor. 🫶
Sometimes the next tune on RUclips just sorta rolls out without you knowing its coming and hits you between the eyes. This just happened, this is amazing.
He could have done Pirates of the Caribbean, the musical. Saw him live at some open air venue in Hollywood in maybe 74 or 75. It was a radio station promotion and free. First time hearing him and WOW was he great. One of those etched in your mind memories.
Thank God for RUclips. We have an opportunity to see and hear great artists and bands like Willie DeVille and Big Twist and the Mellow Fellows. It's like they never left us.
