The epitome of an under-rated artist who did have a loyal audience. Willy DeVille was a Giant rocker, capital G, a great gypsy look, great vocals in a Phil Lynott tradition yet DeVille was his own man, great live show. "Storybook Love" was excellent too. Willy & Robert Hazard must have taken the rock & roll fire with them when they left. I haven't heard much since that gives off sparks like this. Awesome? Elvis Presley would've been proud of Willy DeVille -- that's for sure.

I grew up in the same town as Willie and used to watch his high school band when he was Bill Borsey. We all knew he'd be a star. In 1973, I was in a bar in Ridgefield CT with a friend and nothing was happening until the band came on, the original Mink DeVille. We were the only people in the bar dancing and hooting so they sat with us during break. I had several sheets of blotter acid so we all did one and the band came home with us. The house I lived in bordered a 100 acre swamp and that pleased him. We would walk on the swampy trails tripping and they thought I was a witch. They stayed a week and I went with them back to Stamford CT our home town and to Suzie his wife and baby Sean. We had so much fun! Suzie had connections for methadone and heroin and we would do that and go to CBGBs and dance like maniacs until we passed out. He was trying to get her off heroin in those days and I think she won and he started using too. Me too. Recreationally. I stopped snorting it when I stopped seeing them, This fun went on for about six months, they weren't well known yet and then they went to Europe and it was wonderful, smashing for them, the people loved them and I never saw them again. Suzie was great fun. Later known as Toots. I was still into acid rock then and didn't realize how lucky I was to hang out with them in the early days. Right after they left SF. Ruben and Manfred were with then then and I often wonder what became of them.
my all time favorite performer. I came away talking him up and was sooo frustrated. all my friends at the time were mostly so punk and hard rock. My bad, I guess. they just didn't get the new wave something different shit unless it was "accessible" like the Ramones or Blondie...they were good too, but so was Mink Deville. everyone talks about underrated today when it's someone they think no-one else knows about. but willy and mink were the original underrated and sooo deserving still....still......
got to hang out with the band santa mania civic when the opened for styx , amazing time , my good friend was the drummers cousin ,, how funny just noticed i was born in Karlsruhe Germany
Amazing the crowds Willie pulled in in Europe! We missed the mark in this country ☹
We damned sure did.

Elvis Who?
Most fly, aesthetic musician and singer I’ve ever seen or heard. Genius!
Soul Man Willie deVille❤️Always Exhilarating and incredibly underrated.
RIP beautiful man❤
Das Gitarrenspiel von Willy ist für mich als Laie sehr beeindruckend!
RIP. Saw him in Lafayette, back in the day. Played on the same stage. What can I say.
One of the best live performances on YOU Tube ..Willie RIP..
Amazing performance. He was in the BIG LEAGUES AT THIS JUNCTION.
Thank you.
Don't forget the song writer,Moon Martin (died 5-11-2020) ;)
Großartig dieser Künstler
This is a top notch version of one of his classics
I wish someone would make a film about his life. What an amazing talent.

Donna Croce how cool, always one of my favorites, thanks for sharing the special times you enjoyed, I never had the chance to see them live
Donna Croce Holy smokes, Donna..great memories..i can´t even imagine!
+Malcolm MacLeod He did a lot in his 59 years and left behind some unforgettable music. Which I am listening to tonight.
What do you exactly mean by 'sucking ass to the mob' ?
oh you poor thing, he beat you up when you were 12 and you've never got over it. Well I got news for ya he forgot all about you a week later.
Love you willy
