What a stunningly brilliant singer songwright, frontman, wild bandolero my cousin Willie was. Willie reminded me a lot of the very great Phil Lynott also Earl Flynn. What a brilliant band Mink DeVile was, I was very lucky to have got to see Mink DeVille live several times once with Doctor Feelgood, A night never forget if I lived 10 lifetimes
True eastcoast sound, sung with his hart and soul no flash, no gimmicks; just his hart and soul in his music. Left us way too soon, but no one can say he wasn't around.
I remember very clearly the first time I ever heard this song. It was in an episode of a Canadian TV series and immediately grabbed my attention. I had to figure out who this group was and where they were my whole life that I didn’t know about them. The ultimate definition of cool - Mink DeVille. Rock on in our hearts. 💕 If I’m not mistaken this is where I first encountered a dobro type of guitar also - makes a unique sound. It isn’t present in this performance but definitely is in the recording I heard.
Without RUclips and the uploader i would never have seen these guys behind the song. Great to watch and what a song it is of course. Would like to have seen them live- no chance now. Top marks. Thanks.
I saw Willy way back in the early days when all the New york bands came to play Boston before they even had a record out, The Ramones, Talking Heads, Tuff Darts.
Saw Mink DeVille here in the UK in 1977 (was it really that long ago?) could never understand how they weren't bigger. Listening to "Cabretta" it makes me wonder how an album recorded in 1977 can, in 2010, sound so fresh, so contemporary - how is that even possible? Still listen to Mink DeVille, and all Willy's stuff- there is an online petition to get Willy DeVille inducted into the RnR Hall of Fame, hope everyone signs it, Willy deserves it. Thanks for posting.
I'm 49 and thought I knew of every Rock artist until I recently watched Cruising. I was blown away by the soundtrack that includes Willy's music. I also learned he was of Native American ancestry like myself. Sad he's no longer with us.
Willy saw you do Spanish Stroll in 1982 with the Original Mink DeVille Band , Always Get Pissed When Your not included in the Original CBGB line up of who's who when Music & Radio etc. Talk about the NYC Lower East Side New Wave/ Punk Scene starting in 1977 , You were Unique and 1 of the Originals --- RIP .

Bryant Devenshire wasn't born till 78 ! AND I LOVE this dude! No word of a lie he is obviously off his face, but it takes nothing from the tune, my personal preference is as willy de ville, by Agnes ? Not sure who she is but has up loaded loads, along with my first encounter of willy with storybook love, after googling one of my favourite songs good old RUclips enlightened me with a million other willy beauties xxx I'm now addicted to his music xx live on willy xxx
l used to see Mink De ville,at cgbg's ,and a few of the other punk clubs in NYC in the 70's,they were amazing,Willy could have been the next Springsteen imo.
In junior high school, I sat next to the young kid named Bill who later evolved into this guy - Willy DeVille. Even in 1964-65 he wasn’t like the rest of us. He dressed in tight black pants and fancy shirts.
There is a such a difference from those great 70's rock stars and nowadays music scene..think Ed Sheeran, Niall Horan...:-(((((((( Love 70's rock forever!!!
@@gordonbennett5638 Well.... If I were comparing say The Clash and Aretha Franklin then I'be be comparing apples and oranges as yous say and it would be silly...if I compare this to Ed Sheeran or Niall Horan then I am comparing apples or oranges with.....rather be polite 🙂

Kissing in the backrow of the movies on be a Saturday night with you.
My name's Minke, (Dutch) en when I asked my mother what my name would have been when I would have been a boy, she answered; Mink. :)
Like the Phil Lynott comparison. What talents.
Amen...👍
True eastcoast sound, sung with his hart and soul no flash, no gimmicks; just his hart and soul in his music. Left us way too soon, but no one can say he wasn't around.
Saw them at Park West in Chicago in 78. What a band and he is the ultimate front man. RIP. What a multi talented genius
Billions brought be here with its amazing soundtrack
This song is the perfect latino pop song.The epitome of cool.Love this so much.It always sounds fresh.Excellent .

i discovered willy two dayz ago.... im in love this man is f*********** awesome wow wish i knew about him sooner!!!!
Saw these guys at the John Anson Ford Theatre on a toasty afternoon in LA 1978-79. They got a modest crowd going with Soul Twist.
Without RUclips and the uploader i would never have seen these guys behind the song. Great to watch and what a song it is of course. Would like to have seen them live- no chance now. Top marks. Thanks.
Just to say, thank yo Willie.. miss those times

Esta canción la bailaba en la disco Strada de Rubí en el año 78 , iba con mi amiga Carmen , que tiempos tan felices
What a sexy man, wow, he was really a very special man and singer with heart and Soul and a lot of feeling, just WILLY!
Canciones de mi adolescencia y juventud que bailaba tan feliz en la disco de Rubí strada con mi amiga Carmen
So bueno
raw, solid , great number
Still cool after all the years
I think if Mitch Hedberg had been a singer, he woulda sounded kindalike Mink. And I don't mean that as a dis. This is AWESOME!!! SZ xo ❤️
Very underrated musician.
THANK YOU.
I recently discoverd DeVille`s music, and am now a HUGE fan.

@egbertplug
but a wonderful musician who has made many fine albums RIP Willy
Brill !!!!!!
l used to see Mink De ville,at cgbg's ,and a few of the other punk clubs in NYC in the 70's,they were amazing,Willy could have been the next Springsteen imo.
Always told my friend he was better than Springsteen just didnt get the big break.
The piano part on this live version adds so much; it isn't on the studio version I know.
In junior high school, I sat next to the young kid named Bill who later evolved into this guy - Willy DeVille. Even in 1964-65 he wasn’t like the rest of us. He dressed in tight black pants and fancy shirts.

Love you for Ever my Willy !!Gypsy Sally Lamarthy.R.I.P.

RE20's on the toms, love it.
There is a such a difference from those great 70's rock stars and nowadays music scene..think Ed Sheeran, Niall Horan...:-(((((((( Love 70's rock forever!!!
It's silly to compare apples and oranges. Sheerin and Horan are pop singers and are very good at what they do.
