Wow!! I'm 58 now. Was a young, ignorant punk rocker back in the day and could never allow myself to listen to anything other than 'Punk'. In the last few days, I have just been so amazed by this Artist. Better late than never I guess!! Lol... Part of the sound track for the remainder of my life now for sure. Lucky!!
@@adamrubin7531 Have already done so. Warren Zevon another great singer/songwriter for sure!! Really into the whole Americana music genre at the moment. Thanks for the referral though🤘🤙😎
Best cover of Carmelita ever! He is a great talent never getting the recognition he deserves. They loved him in Germany and most of Europe. U.S. can be so ignorant sometimes. He is greatly missed.
@@darlingusa2pettee57I’m sure Warren Zevon will be both sad and surprised to hear this. And yes I know, he’s dead. All the more shocking to hear this news.
@@robertg227 my error. 🙄 I see now Zevon wrote this song. I suppose I should listen to other artists, lol. But there's only so much time in a day and all those times belong to Willy. 🤗
I'm a Willy fan from his first album. Always loved his stuff and couldn't understand why he wasn't huge. I got to meet him at club date he did when a friend was the DJ. One of the best.
Ihr habt es Alle so so traumhaft beschrieben ,BESSER geht es nicht .kann ich mich nur anschließen, Meine Seele trauert auch um diesen begnadeten Künstler ( Jutta Spielmann Hof ) I Love you so
Ich hab mir 1977 Cabretta gekauft, seine 1. LP. Er hat viele erstklssige Alben danach gemacht, aber keine bessere! Obwohl er mich zwei Mal bei seinen Konzerten mit unterirdischen Auftritten enttäuschte, hab ich ihm immer die Stange gehalten. R.I.P. Willy!❤❤❤
Wat een lied.ik luister hem wel een paar keer per dag. Maar hij heeft zoveel schitterende songs.Wat een charismatische man.Hij is veeeel te vroeg heen gegaan.
Living in the Basel (Switzerland) area, I was at this AVO Basel Session of Willy's, and you can bet, people got simply crazy. I have never seen a concert of any worldstar just like this.
Seine Ausstrahlung war einfach unbeschreiblich. Sogar in den Videos.Ganz besonders in seinen späteren Jahren. Seine Liveauftritte müssen ein unvergessenenes Erlebnis gewesen sein.
I wonder why he didn't go to the IV chord during the chorus phrase. On the word "down," it should go to the IV chord. I can't possibly be the only person who noticed this. I wonder what Warren Zevon had to say about this.
I had never heard of Willy,lm from Pico Rivera in so.cal right down the street from east LA.l play music all the time from my iPad and last week Willy DaVille name comes up and that's all it took lve listen to everything from utube to Facebook ,l don't no how l missed this guy.l love his music,l think my favorite is Carmelita his own words.the guy was too cool.Rest in peace Willy.god needs good music too.😎
"Carmelita" is not Willy's "own words." It was written by a guy living in Echo Park who was struggling with heroin addiction. When the writer sang this song of his, he didn't infuse it with energy like Willy does. High energy doesn't fit this song's mood at all. As a guy who actually was sinking down the writer just didn't have it. The writer also gave this song a Mariachi sound befitting its lyrics. Willy doesn't bother with that. Lots of people have covered this song, and some people prefer the alternative versions. As far as I'm concerned they're all whiffs. None of them are even very good attempts.
Willy knew where he sang, very moving, sad to hear this song, it has to be sometimes went through hell... He is at peace, and I love his Music the rest of my days!
What an artist Willy was! Under appreciated by the mainstream. Though he wrote many great songs, he could really do justice to other artists like this song. Check out his rendition of The Belfast Cowboy's "Would You Could You" RIP Mr DeVille, you left us too soon
Bob, there was a particular reason why he didn´t get the attention he had earned. Te reason was that he never wanted to play and produce the songs the contracted record labels wanted him to play therefore he mostly had only a few songs for one record company. A god friend of mine told me how the system charts works: record companies provide the radio stations with records which should be played for commercial reasons. This way stars were produced which the companies wanted to be stars. In former times when you heard a song you liked you went to a record shop and bought the product. Sales figures and how often a song was played were he basic reasons for a hit, not the quality of the musicians. Sometimes I see the name of Nino de Angelo. I don´t want to offend anybody and taste is different, but listen to one song of him and tell me if he is talented as a singer. Young girls liked him ! Think about such beaus like David Cassidy or some boygroups.
🙏 спасибо большое! Девиль пожалуй один из самых недооценённых музыкантов... мир праху его! Зивон исполняет Кармелиту по-своему, песня прекрасная, грустная. У Девиля она получилась! Не отпускай меня, Кармелита!... спасибо ещё раз
Bedankt 'aggiespoenk'! Vind het geweldig dat jij Willy elke keer weer onder de aandacht brengt. Voor mij een extra, maar luister naar, en geniet nog elke dag van, zijn muziek. Hij is en blijft 'onze kanjer'.
du kannst Tränen vergießen, weil ich gegangen bin, oder du kannst lächeln, weil ich gelebt habe. Du kannst die Augen schließen und beten, dass ich wiederkehre, oder du kannst die Augen öffnen und all das sehen, was ich hinterlassen habe in dem Sinne - für immer in Liebe - und unvergessen !!
Willy is one of the most underestimated artists....but he is so true (i don't accept he 'was')....he is my angel to comfort me in so many hard times....restless soul he was....genius!!! Rest in Peace!!!
The Spanish Bruce Springsteen, in every way the same singer and songwriter. Another immense talent taken from the music industry way, way too soon. Rest In Peace Willy and thanks for gracing us with your music. God and the angels welcome you with open arms.

Great comment and you are never too old to discover something good. As you say, better late than never. :)
If you enjoyed this, you should check out the original artist of this song Warren Zevon.
@@adamrubin7531 Have already done so. Warren Zevon another great singer/songwriter for sure!! Really into the whole Americana music genre at the moment. Thanks for the referral though🤘🤙😎
He was
GG Allin did a great job on this as well.
Un grande sin el reconocimiento que merecio
every song he covered he made better... in my humble opinion
Best cover of Carmelita ever! He is a great talent never getting the recognition he deserves. They loved him in Germany and most of Europe. U.S. can be so ignorant sometimes. He is greatly missed.
@@darlingusa2pettee57 No, "Carmelita" was written by Warren Zevon - and first recorded by Murray McLaughlin (not sure of the spelling)
@@martinamairitsch2467 Yes, you're absolutely correct. I was thinking of another song Willy wrote when I typed that. Thank you for the correction.
As usual when he covers a song Willy blows away the competition and makes it his own. This is a great version.
Dont forget Zevon
It's true, he could give that personal passionate twist to a rendition.
@@darlingusa2pettee57I’m sure Warren Zevon will be both sad and surprised to hear this. And yes I know, he’s dead. All the more shocking to hear this news.

♡ brilliant
Heb het geluk gehad dat ik hem 2x naar een optreden van hem geweest ben en het was AMAZING
Me Deville je vous écoute depuis mes 15 ans le temps passe jusqu'à la fin j'écouterai votre musique et j'ai 54 ans adieu l'artiste
❤️🌹❤️
I always return 🎼

Great song written by Warren Zevon - brilliant performed by Willy. Two of the best. It's so sorry, they're not with us anymore!
What is the strangest part is that he kept part of G.G. Allin's lyric changes (as fas as I can tell it was G.G. that changes them to Smith and Wesson)
You got that right/ 2 genuine people
😮

44 años y ahora descubro a este monstruo,chapo
bene
i came across willy less than a year ago, if your music did not live on, then this comment would not exist. a teardrop fell. rip willy
He's one of the greatest! R.I.P.
Never forget my fantastic Mink De Ville. 🎼 ❤❤❤ 🇺🇲
Wundervolle Musik und Performance, danke, ich höre ihn immer noch gerne, bin beeindruckt von seinem Können!!!! Er bleibt in Erinnerung!!!!!
✌😊
So ist es !❤
Wow ! I’ve never heard this before,absolutely brilliant ❤🎉😊
Hou nog evenveel van zijn muziek als toen ik40 was !!,
Seine Ausstrahlung war einfach unbeschreiblich. Sogar in den Videos.Ganz besonders in seinen späteren Jahren. Seine Liveauftritte müssen ein unvergessenenes Erlebnis gewesen sein.
Das stimmt, ich habe einen in Jena erlebt. Wunderbar und unvergesslich.
2x in münchen erlebt
Unvergesslich.
Pasaran els anys, tornarem a escoltar aquestes cançons i sempre estaran vives. Willy no morirà mai!!
Brilliant
Another day in Paradise.
Wat een heerlijke muziek.
...Willy DeVille ⚘⚘⚘💖🎼....forever 🎵
I´m german, and I love this song and I love Willy. Hope, he is in good hand`s in heaven.
Sure good hear t man .today is his birthday ..74..bigg kiss❤❤
❤
Amazing song, brilliant interpretation, the talent of this man is grossly under-rated.
No way my friend Willy de Ville was NEVER unterredet! Pls change your mind.
I wonder why he didn't go to the IV chord during the chorus phrase. On the word "down," it should go to the IV chord. I can't possibly be the only person who noticed this. I wonder what Warren Zevon had to say about this.
The most beautiful song about heroin addition ever written....yet a romantic classic to dance with your lover by
ik ben een volwassen man ,van bijna 60 , en willy krijgt mij aan het janken . dat is pas knap . love you willy .
Er bringt so viele zum Weinen, das schafft sonst niemand, so einmalig.⚘
Willy forever 🎸🎸🌹💔🎵🎵💃🎶
De lo mejor de lo mejor, para mí ❤🙋♂️👍💯🏍️
I grew up with willy ( billy ) and family . His brother was my best friend . R.i.p. billy and Mike .
Did you go to the Blue Note Cafe ? I used to work there. I know Willie is from Srtamford . Christophr Baranet
Billy Deville gracias por tu musica.
Descansa en paz.
He'd lived every word of the lyrics, of course.
Perfect
A great miss. There is always you tube.
Great singer and musician. R.i.p. Willy. Forever an my 💖🌹

It was written by the late great Warren Zevon
@@Panglos written by great musician Warren Zevon
The G.G. Allin cover is my favorite version but Zevon wrote this masterpiece.
He was such a great artist. Every inch a rock star.
Willi du fehlst so sehr❤️
I'm a life long musician and of all the true road warriors Willy is definitely on top RIP Brother ~ You suffered greatly ... /
Amazing Willy. Fantástico, Fantástic 💖
How can you not love this
Willy knew where he sang, very moving, sad to hear this song, it has to be sometimes went through hell... He is at peace, and I love his Music the rest of my days!
WHAT A TRUE LEGEND
Dynamite performer!
Quel talent et ces accompagnateurs quelle classe !
Willy, don't stop. Keep singing. From the far beyond. Maybe they will listen. Maybe they have souls too.

Bernd Altmann he was BIG in France...and the Netherlands I believe. Europe tends to notice talent where there is some.
Think that might have been The Belfast Gypsies, Bob.
Will I ever stop feeling the loss?
wow this is really splendid as a tribute to Mr. Zevon.

What a performance. So brilliant, so sad. Warren Zevon what a tragic but brilliant song.
Forget about the pain. Hè is gone. Enjoy the memory. Ana Maria from Amsterdam
