For some reason watching THIS cliip this morning, more than any of the others I've looked at on here, brought me right back in time. I can so vividly recall being at shows, with him standing right in front of me singing just like thisand thinking that if I could just spend every moment for the rest of my life doing that and only that I would. I wish I was a time traveler and could go back. I miss this guy so much. I hope he knew how much we loved him and his music. Willy, Willy, Willy...
oh love this song better than everything else.its just a full song.you know.it has everything in the right amount.this is a perfectly composed song.oH & that voice.PERFECT!
A great interpretation of this classic song. Willie Deville always seems to nail the songs he sings. I came across his music after listening to anothr group, and Willie was recommended as a similar type of musician. I wish I had known about Willie before his death. No doubt, I would have gone to one of his concerts somewhere.
this is the most amazing version of stand by me!!the guy with the sax is an ancient god, he is dementia in pure state, almost had a car crash today because i was listening to this song on maximum volume.WOW!
This man, Mink DeVille hung around, learned and been with some of the best and his band has a really fierce soulful beat and sound ... he's like an older version of "em and em(?).

I'm with you Chico. Can't wait for the reunion. I saw him live a few times in NYC back in the day. A year later and my heart still breaks when I listen to him sing.
hard to believe its coming up on a year since willys death. his music is stronger than ever in my heart, and i look foward to mink deville reunion in nyc this august. never saw him live, so this is the next best thing.viva willy deville forever!!!
Damn, Just like Eddie and The Crusiers, Willy DeVille will be a part of the World's music memory. What a fantastic talent with a terrible voice. That' s what made him great. the love of what he was doing is what made Willy great. The only performer other than Willy that stirs the feelings is Gary Stewart. RIP the both of you. Tru;y missed.
check out the great tommy price on drums! still rocking with ms jett. as for willy, he has to go down as one of the greatest musician's hardly anyone (especially in the states ) has ever heard. pity them. r.i.p., willy
Stood there stunned with rest. RIP Willie.
