Lucky to see him in a little club on Boubon St before he passed. Just him, a guitar, and a piano. I had been a fan for many years and dragged a couple of friends with me who had no idea who he was. We were all blown away. The songs, the voice, and the intimacy of the setting made it one of the greatest performances I have ever seen.
I have found Willie DeVille (A.K.A. "Mink") too late in my life. I love his music, from his voice, his emotion and what not many people post about is the brilliance of the musicians in his bands. From the drums, to the guitars, to the bass and to the keyboards, all excellent musicians in my opinion. Long live Willie's music, truly top drawer!!!!
Look at him! Magnificent on stage, in his element, and singing/speaking his truth :) Sometimes sad reading abt hisa life, but I LOVE his Music and legacy. I imagine he is proud, too.
He was catholic, and he did it his own way... Maybe there is a lot of things you don't know about him and his wife and family, the circumstances around and the other side of his life....He was a loner and the company he had, was small but very fine 🙏👋
Indelible memory of seeing him and his band in San Francisco in the early eighties. He leaned over the stage toward a woman at a twotop and she rose up like a snake getting charmed out of a basket.
Anne, kann Dir nur Recht geben - er war ein faszinierender Mann und Musiker - einfach nicht zu toppen - schätze so manchen Musiker, aber Willy ist etwas ganz besonderes....
Saw him back in the seventies in Monterey Ca. Had never heard of him, and he was out with his band on the road promoting his first album. By the end of the night we were all shouting, "Cadillac Walk!!" What a dynamic entertainer he was!!
YET ANOTHER INCREDIBLY EXCITING GREATLY TALENTED STAR GONE MUCH, MUCH, MUCH TOO SOON AND CERTAINLY, TERRIBLY SORELY MISSED! WILLY, THANX FOR THE COUNTLESS INCREDIBLY FANTASTIC TUNES THAT ONLY A TRUE GENIUS LIKE YOU, COULD CONVEY WAS/TRULY A MAGNIFICENT BLESSING SO, MAY GOD BLESS YOU MY BROTHER!✌️♥️🗽🇺🇸🙏
My fiance played this song for me the first time we met to woo me and obviously he did. I love this song and Willys sexy and raspy voice. I saw him live in Stockholm (Sweden) in the 80's live. R.I.P Willy.
+Mark Gillham I use to see Mink Deville at Max's Kansas City and CBGBs, mostly '76, '77, and I have never heard Willie described in such perfect terms.
Had been seeing Willy in New York city since 1977 and then went to his memorial in Greenwich Village. Met his family too. Very cool and still sexy. Any Willy wenches out there?
i think i might have saw Willy before this the first time! it was Elvis Costello's first US tour! an older Friend took us! We had no idea who either of Them Were!lol Saw Him numerous times. Finally got to see Him Sober before He Passed! What an Amazing Artist! we saw Bob Dylan checkin out one of His Shows in Hollywood! that's quite a Statement to Willy's Brilliance!
first and only time i ever saw mink deville (willie deville) live was when they backed dr feelgood in aberdeen scotland,,they stole the show,,,it was probably around this time early 80"s,,went home thinking jeez they were brilliant,,quick trip to the record shop and bought cabretta,changed the way i would feel about music,,christ i played that Lp non-stop,,great times ,,sadly missed willy,
I've been a fan too, since the first time I saw them in NYC in 78 or 79. And Barvas42, I am also a fan of your country- I've biked through the Highlands, the Hebrides, and mountain biked up the Great Glen Way. What a country. Scotland is gorgeous...but back to music, I still miss Willy.

You were lucky to see him! The only one of the great artists that we lost that I do regret never to have seen in real.
was die letzten Jahren an Musik dargeboten wird ist nur ein gejaule ohne den Hauch einer erkennbaren Musik, die müssten in Grund und Boden versinken wenn sie einmal Musik erfahren hätten wie z.B. von DeVille
Just to walk that little girl home & Save the last Dance for me. Of course! Tears from the heart. Doc Pomus, as a parapeligic, wrote from the heart. And Willy sang from the heart.
Der Typ war echt geil..brutal gut wie der das Lied rauskloppt :-)!!..in Deutsch gabs dann ne Version von Kim Merz...auch klasse für sich..aber natürlich ganz anders interpretiert als Willy de Ville ;-)...die besten sterben leider immer zu jung :-( ..R.I.P Willy
The Lord knows that this man had incomparable talent. His voice evokes sad romance, wistful longing.
Dieser Stimme kann man nicht entkommen🌹
Perfectly said, Jo!
Das ist die Warheit !
One of the greatest singers. Fabulous Willy deville. Sadly very missed. Unforgettable ❤
Jeah is sadly. 💜🌹😢
Willy, you are seriously missed.

Willy hatte nicht nur eine Stimme, es waren mehrere.❤

And not to forget the saxophone in Love and emotion.
Never too late to find him❤❤
He wasn't "also know as" Mink, he was in a band called Mink Deville.
Genial der Mann Super Musik .Er lebt in seiner Musik weiter
Unforgettable
His voice was a gift from God ! Greatly missed ! RIP Willy
Here is Willy 30 years young, we are a vintage, oh my god, what a time ..... and on 08/06/2019 Willy is 10 years dead, it is too sad ..........
i keep coming back,its hypnotic.so many of his songs bring a lump to your throat.I get shivers listening to mixed up,shook up
I am crying I miss him so much
the good die Young 😢 miss him too @@sayonarakittys
Look at him! Magnificent on stage, in his element, and singing/speaking his truth :) Sometimes sad reading abt hisa life, but I LOVE his Music and legacy. I imagine he is proud, too.
I first heard this song in 1984 while watching "The Pope of Greenwich Village" I fell in love with it
hört man auch mit 70 Jahren noch gern ,gänsehautmusik
Ich bin auch 70 Jahre und höre seine Musik sehr gerne.man kann sich darin verlieren.
Ich gehöre auch mit 70 dazu. Ich liebe ihn immer noch
Bin auch 70 und höre Willy täglich, kann nicht anders🌹...
@@ingley5220ja der Willy haut uns doch immer wieder um, er ist eben Dank der Videos noch bei uns ❤
Too sad: Now it's us to have to walk this magic guy home...
You will always stay alive, love and emotion, man!
what are u on about?
Again One of the BEST.
So beautifull, cried. One of the best love songs ever. Willy, love you!
Une personnalité une voix un style merci willy
a terrific loss. he died much too soon. a voice like a razor blade. he is a legend.
He’s so very missed,He left this World way to soon🌹
Feiner sympathischer Kerl .❤
Willy is his own religion-I never get tired of watching this guy. there will never be another one-ever.
Estoy contigo
Never! He is the best❤
He was catholic, and he did it his own way... Maybe there is a lot of things you don't know about him and his wife and family, the circumstances around and the other side of his life....He was a loner and the company he had, was small but very fine 🙏👋
Brilliant song that captures perfectly unfulfilled yearning. No climax just a steady, throbbing bass. Beautiful.
Wonderful !
Such an underrated talent. A big miss for me not seeing him live. Still sounds good 40 years later!
Willy war EINMALIG und UNVERGESSLICH !❤
Indelible memory of seeing him and his band in San Francisco in the early eighties. He leaned over the stage toward a woman at a twotop and she rose up like a snake getting charmed out of a basket.
Seine Songs berühren mich !
I saw him in 1979 opening for Nick Lowe & Rockpile and Elvis Costello. Hardest opening act to follow EVER! RIP, Willie!
WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From a mad keen 75yo Aussie fan.
What a singer.
Ich vermisse dich so sehr Willy .❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ja, wirklich ein Hammertyp - einfach unglaublich irre diese Stimme - diese Ausstrahlung, wird mich wohl bis ans Ende meiner Tage faszinieren
Anne, kann Dir nur Recht geben - er war ein faszinierender Mann und Musiker - einfach nicht zu toppen - schätze so manchen Musiker, aber Willy ist etwas ganz besonderes....

Anne Langer mir geht nicht anders 🤗👍

WILLY, THANX FOR THE COUNTLESS INCREDIBLY FANTASTIC TUNES THAT ONLY A TRUE GENIUS LIKE YOU, COULD CONVEY WAS/TRULY A MAGNIFICENT BLESSING SO, MAY GOD BLESS YOU MY BROTHER!✌️♥️🗽🇺🇸🙏
Ich Liebe dieses Lied sehr ❤️Jetzt singt er im Himmel der Musik 🎶

Der Beste hoere ich seine Lieder seine Stimme weint mein Herz ueber seinen zu frühen Tod , er gab mir viel , Willy Deville ist im Musiker Himmel
@@elgatto6750not more, he died in August 2009 on cancer in New York.
@@christineriegler5854 leider, ich höre jeden Tag seine schönen Songs !
My fiance played this song for me the first time we met to woo me and obviously he did. I love this song and Willys sexy and raspy voice. I saw him live in Stockholm (Sweden) in the 80's live. R.I.P Willy.
perfection
Fantastisch
LEGENDE...nothing more to say...
The Pope of Greenwich Village is when I fell in love with this song! Love Willy!
Piet veerman
500 time I'm watching TPOG and I just looked this up Outstanding!!!!
Olivia Zamora absolutely right! Also love that the song adds a whole dimension to the scene, which you only understand when you hear the whole song.
my god, such a loss...a voice like smoke and bourbon, hints of doo wop and the Brill building all in a elegantly wasted package
+Mark Gillham I use to see Mink Deville at Max's Kansas City and CBGBs, mostly '76, '77, and I have never heard Willie described in such perfect terms.
indeed what a lost
'elegantly wasted' - what an awesome phrase.
Willy touches my heart .
Awesome!
Willy, you walk in our hearts. Noi amiamo e perdere è dolce Willy
great voice
Mit einer Hingabe, Willy lebt seine Musik !❤
He is an extra ordinary artist,! Also represanting my favorite kind of music and times! R I P ✝️ 🌹 🙏
He was the best
My poor heart
I have always appreciated this man ...and the sound he shares with us ...I will never let his speccial sound rest in Peace !!!!

I Love His voice
Beautiful 🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏🌹🌹
Is there anyone cooler than Mr.DeVille ...??!! I honestly don't think so....
No, there is not!
Er war eifach ein ganz besonderer toller Typ ! ❤
Maybe Link Wray, maybe!!!!
Du warst mit einer der Besten. Ich hab Dich noch live gesehen
Da hast du leider etwas verpasst ! ❤
Könnte mich in die Stimme reinlegen.Leider viel zu früh gegangen, wie viele der ganz Großen ❤
peggy huber bin ganz deiner Meinung 😢
Was für eine Ausnahme stimme 😍

So wonderful 👈👌👌👌 Best Song Willy 🎼 great Voice 👍❤👏👏👏

Willy DeVille's Voice was an amazing instrument in itself. Every. single. note.
Meiner Meinung nach hatte er nicht nur eine Stimme, er war GROßARTIG !
Jesús!! Qué momentazoooo!!! Genial!!!
fantastic great voices !!!
A great song that everyone can relate to. Let’s face it. We’ve all been there.
Sorry, nobody else is able to do it. I think it's brazen,I m I rignt or not 🚭
Comment section shows me there is only 184 people that got good taste in music
Amoooo ❤ dedico a Kick quien lo ama mas 😙
sweet 💔
i think i might have saw Willy before this the first time! it was Elvis Costello's first US tour! an older Friend took us! We had no idea
who either of Them Were!lol Saw Him numerous times. Finally got to see Him Sober before He Passed! What an Amazing Artist! we saw
Bob Dylan checkin out one of His Shows in Hollywood! that's quite a Statement to Willy's Brilliance!
Miss you soooo
Qué gran momento!! Afortunados los que estaban allí... Hubiese dado cualquier cosa por verlo... Sublime!! 🎶💜🌹🎶
I think this was written with Doc Pomus. A famous NYC writer in the 60s. Save the last dance for me.
CHARLIE THEY CUT MY THUMBS!!!!
Perfection being watched!!!
first and only time i ever saw mink deville (willie deville) live was when they backed dr feelgood in aberdeen scotland,,they stole the show,,,it was probably around this time early 80"s,,went home thinking jeez they were brilliant,,quick trip to the record shop and bought cabretta,changed the way i would feel about music,,christ i played that Lp non-stop,,great times ,,sadly missed willy,
his music got me through life
I've been a fan too, since the first time I saw them in NYC in 78 or 79. And Barvas42, I am also a fan of your country- I've biked through the Highlands, the Hebrides, and mountain biked up the Great Glen Way. What a country. Scotland is gorgeous...but back to music, I still miss Willy.

Das ist die Musik fühlen
Seen him 2x. Great. Really love this.
thanks a lot for sharing this genius track!!! R.I.P. Willy....always be missed so badly :-(
,,,,,mink/willy de ville pralles aus dem leben,,,,einzigartig,,,,,und doch so "einfach",,,1000 sterne;-);-)
I still love You, Willy
was die letzten Jahren an Musik dargeboten wird ist nur ein gejaule ohne den Hauch einer erkennbaren Musik, die müssten in Grund und Boden versinken wenn sie einmal Musik erfahren hätten wie z.B. von DeVille
Wie wahr, Willy Deville, Willie Nelson, Dmitri Hvorostovsky und Lara Fabian ("Always")
+Margit Reiner Igor Krutoy
Ja,sie sagen es, er beruehrt unsere Seele.
@@ingley5220 und das immer und immer wieder !
WOW vilken röst gillar
the co-writer of this song, Doc Pomus, was a paraplegic. He also wrote "Save The Last Dance For Me".
💫✨🎊🎉✈️🎉🎊✨💫
kann nur deutsch
Heartwrenching.
doc contracted polio at a young age.he walked with braces for a long time in his life
Just to walk that little girl home & Save the last Dance for me. Of course! Tears from the heart. Doc Pomus, as a parapeligic, wrote from the heart. And Willy sang from the heart.
Been there so many times .... /
this wonderful song remind me, Just like a woman, by young Bobby Dylan.
Great.
willy was the man.he and doc were perfectly suited.
BROTHER!!
Greatest song and performer ever
Der Typ war echt geil..brutal gut wie der das Lied rauskloppt :-)!!..in Deutsch gabs dann ne Version von Kim Merz...auch klasse für sich..aber natürlich ganz anders interpretiert als Willy de Ville ;-)...die besten sterben leider immer zu jung :-( ..R.I.P Willy
Quelle interprétation. Willy avait une classe folle.
If The Afterlife Has The Remote Chance That Willy DeVille Is Singing His Songs? Well, I Don't Fear Dying So Much!!
