GR8

[Karsmitty]

Geweldig nummer!!!

[patenttypen]

Das ist nicht einfach nur Musik, das ist ein Gebet, ein Gebet an Gott, ein Gebet an das Leben, an den Sieg, an die Niederlage, an Freude oder Trauer, an alles was uns Menschen bedeutungsvoll erscheinen mag. Ich liebe Willy, schlafe in Frieden, ich danke Dir...

[Suzycat1000]

Willy's own songs are unbelieivable but even when he sang songs written by others he made them sound even better than the originals. Willy you are my hero, sing on in heaven. I hope I find you when I cross the borderline.

[snieni]

I love this song!!!

[del5158]

It is so great to hear Willy. One of the all-time under-rated greats!

[TheElmapa]

I am just a great fan and will always be;)..goes straight to my heart

[miehaga]

You are so missing, Willy..found you too late. too late.....Love your songs and your voice...Love Marie, Norway.

[MarthaMartian]

This is about the borderline where the true struggle is. Thanks, Willy.

[MrTnt333]

this is one of those songs that you wonder how you ever missed when Willy was alive and wish you could have seen him perform live - rock on Willy - thanks for the love

[artdietrich]

.... mues i grad üebe... mi schtimm wird langsam richtig guet.. s heis mir schones paar lüüt gseit i heig ä schöni schtimm... je meh ii uf mi sälber loose muesi säge... so unrächt hei si niid... nach mim apres-suisse-match-schtimmlos-­erläbnis weiss i jetz wiemer ä bessere sound us dr schtimm cha hole - u overdrive drii briingt.... tralala :-)

[starr522]

to me this is the best version. But who did it first?

[9erfandex]

@starr522 This song first appeared over the credits at the end of "The Border" that starred Jack Nicholson and Harvey Keitel. Freddy Fender handled the vocals very well, the song is written by Ry Cooder, who wrote the soundtrack. I like Willy De Ville and it makes sense that he would perform this well, also!

[starr522]

@9erfandex Thank you for the info and insight. Always a pleasure to hear from someone that is polite, positive and has real statements. Even when we disagree. Let it be a positive dialog. Not with the insults and name calling. Geeez that does get old.

[9erfandex]

@starr522 I believe I hear an AMEN! I agree that it does not cost a dime to be NICE!

[9erfandex]

@starr522 After further examination(thanks to google) John Hiatt and Jim Dickinson helped Ry Cooder with this composition, all three of those gentlemen are very fine musicians! I also just became aware of Willy D's demise, that's really too bad, Willy you always cornered a space in my heart, old son you had STYLE! R.O.S.! P.S. Bon Voyage Willy as you cross the ultimate borderline!

[deAlivian]

ty Willy - cu Across the Borderline...

[Drewtazy]

I agree with brunocat4...this is done to perfection by Willy,the Wise sisters,David , Freddie and Bruno.

[Drewtazy]

@Drewtazy Boris....not Bruno..too early in the day for me and not enough coffee on board.

[mvdwielen1]

Prachtig!!!!!!!!!Rust in vrede Willy...Altijd in blijvende herinnering .....lfs Onky-Marionne wheels

[riflelady]

can´t believe it - he´s gone forever, so sad, never seen him live, but he touch my heart.

[digamoondog]

You crossed the borderline, Willy, and I hope you reached your promise land. Bye!

[snap2805]

Willy you are the BEST ! Wenn ich das Lied höre,ist es als zerspringe mein Herz.

R.I.P.

[venisfurs]

WILLY'S SECOND TO NONE!

[patcat009]

Si un jour la vie t'arrache à moi Si tu meurs que tu sois loin de moi Peu m'importe si tu m'aimes Car moi je mourrais aussi Nous aurons pour nous l'éternité Dans le bleu de toute l'imensité Dans le ciel plus de problèmes Mon amour crois-tu qu'on s'aiment Dieu réunit ceux qui s'aiment Edith Love you Willy,rest in peace,see you soon.

[mllecourage66]

my hero! may he sing with angels...

[Drewtazy]

One of my favorites!

[thankgodforbbc]

roverma, tausend Dank fuer dieses wunderbare Video! What artistic range and emotion, Willy - may you rest in peace. You have given us so much with your gift and your emotion - and you will continue to do so. I just hope you knew how much we love you.

i

[TheSKlander]

He's just the best!!! Love his voice and music!!

[patenttypen]

so ist es

[micmac09]

J'ai vu Willy live à la radio suisse (Lausanne) quelques temps avant qu'il nous quitte avec ces musiciens. Belle émotion. Merci.

[blizzardman59]

This beautiful song was written by Ry Cooder, John Hiatt, and Jim Dickinson.

[sillambretta]

this song is tailor made for willy it's as if the song was written by him. heard original on the border movie back in 80's by freddy fender. willy really makes the song his own. a master stroke from a grandmaster like another willie I know sadly this vintage ended too soon. RIP willy lagrimas con todo mi corazon.

[mtjimi]

Beautiful.......Thank you Willy

[hinamauka]

This is a wonderful video, everyone is so relaxed and into what they are playing/singing. Willy is the best!!

[Drewtazy]

Perfection! RIP Willy.

[marie2976]

[OksanaMysina]

What a beautiful version!

[brunocat4]

Memorabile!

Dylan's version is wonderful, but this is simply the best rendition of this song.

Willy ci mancherai!!!

[hinamauka]

@brunocat4 You got that right, my friend! Just watched Bob's version again today and it doesn't come close!!

[000Jerusalem]

R.I.P off Dylan.

[juttawalkowiak]

Leider hab ich diesen tollen Musiker erst jetzt durch Zufall kennengelernt. Ich bin total begeistert. Was für eine Stimme, was für ein Gefühl. Rest in peace, Willy, see you the first time in heaven.

[cincotti]

Keep you in my heart - forever - R.I.P. Willy

[manolete1165]

Siento su pérdida.Me ha hecho disfrutar mucho con su música.Descanse en paz.

[000Jerusalem]

I couldn't catch the words. So I went to the Dylan version, where every word is clearly enunciated.

[wincent1976]

R.I.P

[apilorante]

Willy te echaré mucho de menos.

[minello20555]

4ever in my heart !!

WILLY  RIP

[fuggerman]

Great Rocker! R.I.P. Willy

[keverbus]

Great song..great singer, gone too soon... R.I.P. Willy!

[MsEvelyn12]

Willy, Du gehst für mich ein in den Himmel der (wenigen!!) unvergeßlichen Sänger meines Lebens. Du hast mit Deiner Musik immer das ausgedrückt, was ich gefühlt habe - Leben pur!!!! So long !!!

[loverplease]

Now you are gone over the line..,too soon!

Hope,you are in the land of milk and honey

[jothemoe]

Too bad a great artist is gone.

I SEE YOU IN HEAVEN SOMETIME

[StuartBigCountry]

Ciao Amigo...

I saw him in 1983, opening for Rory Gallagher.

Have a good jam in paradise Willy

[MrHitman223]

Ry Cooder, John Hiatt, Bruce and Willy. Great singers for a such a great song. Tu ne seras jamais oublié !!!

[mabelbravo]

chao querido Willy, tu admiradora por muchos años, tal admiracion no termina aqui, tu musica, tu voz y tu figura seguiran vivo en mi casa, en mi vida. Descansa en paz-

[Drewtazy]

One of my favorites that Willy sings.

[iz6clz]

Ciao amico mio ciao

[p3rikart]

Bye Willy

[tunderbomber]

Prachtig!!!

[cctheoneandonly]

pls sign the petition to put him in the hale of fame :

willy deville petition - thks

[uffanonok]

great, Willy. Best wishes

[evegpt]

Bruce Springstein's version if my fav but they are all good. This is a beautiful, touching song. It changed my mind about illeagal immigration.

[MARION991]

Der Mann ist für mich der beste Soul und Rock Interpret und dieses Lied ist eines der besten und schönsten von ihm. Schade, dass es im derzeit nicht besonders gut geht, sein langjähriger Drogenkonsum scheint sich jetzt zu rächen, trotzdem hoffe ich, dass er in 2010 wieder auf Europa-Tournee gehen kann, er ist auf der Bühne sehens- und hörenswert.

[orphea10]

Marion Du hast den Ngel auf den Kopf getroffen. Willy ist einsame Klasse

[rob57uk]

This is a pretty good version. .. well, it's great actually, just about anything Willy does is great. I'd love to hear them all together ... now that'd be something.

[justinmcinerny]

Beautiful. Anybody care to weigh in on which version they prefer? Ry Cooder/Freddie Fender or Willy DeVille? I personally like to avoid controversy so I say I love both versions.

[sch8mid]

simply the best

[delapanpulu]

SADAAAAAAAAP!!!!!!

[enbowie]

Great singer and sensitive musician, i love this sound and willy too! ;)

[eburia]

beautiful backing voices ,not to mentiont the

GREAT Willy Deville and his talented musicians

[olsenal]

love it !

[hinamauka]

The best version of this song I've ever heard. Willy DeVille is one of the most soulful singers ever!!

[Rainerniels]

Vielen Dank für die Antwort roverma.

Die CD hab ich, aber die Version darauf ist

längst nicht so gut wie diese LIVE Version.

[Rainerniels]

Weiss jemand auf welcher CD ich diese Live

Version finden kann ?

[roverma]

Steht auf der CD "Horse of a Different Color",

ausgebracht durch Warner Bros in 1999

[bazookabuddha]

This was recorded by a Dutch radiostation in 1999. Was a limited release by fanclub as '2 meter sessies live in Holland' and was sold out quickly. This song is still available on compilation cd '2 meter sessies vol.8' released in 2001. EAN code 8713606910049 . Good luck.

[nangro1]

@Rainerniels

I love Willy so much. I miss him!!!!!!

[blazicke]

Mexico style! Not Bad!

[mayerl1982]

he is simple the best - i like this song - wonderful

[helmuttdvm]

A beautiful version of a great Ry Cooder composition. The lyrics just about say all there is to say about any immigration dreams and the realities that people find in their "new world".

[karntnisleians]

this session says it all: willy = god! thanks for posting, greetings form austria

[jacquesmees]

Mooi he

[MarthaMartian]

YEAH!

[pietmk]

Ik ken dit nummer van Ry Cooder, maar dit is een uitstekende vertolking. Als ik Willy hier zie, moet ik ook een klein beetje denken aan Harry Muskee.....

[jossuuh]

in één woord fantastisch!!!! Lukkina

[hinamauka]

Just beautiful! There's no one like Willy DeVille! No one!

[zazudeville]

Este chulo es genial. Bellisima cancion, como todas las de Willy. Guapisimo willy con el bigotito, jajaja. David recuperate pronto te necesitamos
