[Sokirre]

Can anyone tell me the chords for this song?

[1paulchen11]

Unfassbar gut ! ! !

[RAMLIA1]

[nosnayack]

Beautiful. He was one of my favorite singers. What style. Smoking a cigarette and breaking your heart. God bless u Willy!

[HotelMarconi77]

Nunca volveré a ser joven...

[susanna8784]

Dat zo'n klein liedje je naar zoveel ontroering kan brengen SUPER mooi!!!

[starr522]

Sometimes when life catches up with me, I have to reflect with Willie. His years in New Orleans was his best. Worst voice. but magic and his soul shined through.

[manliocazzato]

simply great

[TheBudizem]

nikoli  se ne naveličam poslušati Willliya..pri duši mi je lepo

pozdrav iz slovenije

[MartaLuna73]

meravigliosa! quest'uomo era proprio grande!

[JmansFragments]

I remember this

i used to listen to this when i was really depressed

i still love it

i have to say music was truly there for me

[udohood]

Heavan stood still...from 'where angels fear to tread'...greatly unknown album

[craigd2599]

@udohood the song was from Le Chat Bleu

[MarikHawk]

This man should be in the Rock N Roll Museum...

He deserves it!

[engelofsilence]

Un tio de muy pinta, de buena letra, y de una perfomance elegante.

[JPBelmond0]

Though I enjoy his tribute to the Glee cast. His lyrics and melodies are too avant-garde for anyone's taste. The Glee version is better because the cast sings it more in toon and without teh rough voice lol. He soundz like he swallowed a razor blade. My uncle once swallowed a razor blade, that's how I was born. another songs that i bester than willy devil (notice how there is no 666 in his name must mean he's hiding fact that he's devil) is the glee version of imagine. really touching. amen.

[javierblkdeth]

@JPBelmond0 Troll failure is failing.

[MarikHawk]

@JPBelmond0 U'r a retard.

[iremau1]

Missed but NEVER forgotten...love from Greece.

[errikosd90]

fucking amazing.-

[ritadoeve1]

Word het lied op mijn crematie

[TheSie1977]

Magical. I listen to this song in my car, at home and put it on repeat... Really amazing.

[1958barbara]

magnifico....

[alton5341]

so profound so perfect "in a instance of memory"

[milongasblog]

this will always be...

[inn7516]

Just overhelming!

[Joagillou]

c'est la grande classe la très grande classe, presque la perfection, on sent l'authenticité qui nous touche dnas le plus profond de nous même

c'est des artistes qui ont influencé d'autres grand artiste...

je suis fan depuis 15 ans...

[fabio6864]

you are still alive, your music never goes by,

[cvm0101]

Rest in peace, Willy...2 years have passed...

[barnabas50]

cigarettes did him in.

[ChanceyPantsMom]

In every one of these amazing clips, I just want to go back in time, be there in the moment and rip that damn cigarette out of his hand. This must made me bawl my eyes out because it is so beautiful. Heaven stood still the moment you arrived, Willy. I hope you knew in life just how well loved you and your music are. And I desperately wish you were still here making music.

[Drewtazy]

@ChanceyPantsMom ain't it the truth?!

[lara7blinky]

One of my favorite songs ever, wow! Had the pleasure of seeing Willy sing it in SF, ...wish I could again RIP

[ivorgeleyn]

WILLY WE LOVE YOU, RIP BUDDY XXX

[Ralica22]

fantastic!

[starr522]

Wille and Joe Cocker, the two worst voices in music. Stop!!! You know it s true. Joe became Joe. Willie became a ledgend.

[twigsan]

Beautiful man, I miss you still and will till I die xxx all love, twigs

[robwlfc1]

This played on my shuffle just before......Oh my god!!!! how did I forget about this....Sadly missed Willy>>>

[CNCisco3]

I had the great pleasure of Willys company a few times when he was in Los Angeles. I saw him play acoustic/solo in the basement of The Coconut Teasers and we hung out and he had told me of his recent experience singing with Ben E King. He was quite ecstatic. I met his wife when I visited him at the hotel. we sat at Jerrys Deli and talked about his new record he was recording Loup Garu I believe. I miss him on this planet and I hope his Gypsy Soul is Free- Bless you Willy- Cisco

[olivervallee]

Amazing, wish I could have seen him live, discovered him only a few months ago.

RIP.

[jalex9903]

linda canção!!!!!!!!

[Scarlett4Zanzibar]

I was privileged to see Willy perform many times in NYC back in the day. His shows were my favorite of all ... loved him. This song is beautiful. Thanks for posting this.

[MultiShades]

what did he die of --did he just give in -or was it something else like life ---just wonder.He did a Hey Joe --I can't for get don't know much about this man ----help .

[1941caironewyork]

@MultiShades he died of pancreatic cancer............

[1941caironewyork]

@MultiShades he died of pancreatic cancer, he was 59..........

[MultiShades]

@1941caironewyork Thank you

[Roberto33131]

fantastic.....

[MissMarilyn1962]

He left a beautiful song for us here .. rest in peace Willy ...

Thanks 'for uploading' this sensitive song ...

With Love,

Marilyn

[keatsgipsy]

If Willy were here tonight he would cry with the world - sing us a tune

and we would cry even harder. He would hold the peoples of Japan in our

broken hearts, and I would only ask , 'Willy what should we do...

[arisjekyl]

great performance, great song. Respect dudes...

RIP Willy.

[15act123]

its weird to know he is my uncle and everyone was so sad when he died

[noneesie]

@15act123 Your uncle was a genius & shall live in my heart forever. Condolences - i would love to hear him play one more time

[JmansFragments]

and i always come back to this

I love it

Soothingg

As the Tear Fades away.........

[rubies011]

He played a concert in Lorca, Spain a few years ago. As a complete unknown there, he drew a crowd of perhaps 200... The setting at the Lorca´s castle was fantastic and the concert just plain out of this world. thanks for the memory, it is priceless

[dfawcett1]

Rest in peace, Willy. I lost track of you. I didn't know you died until today. I'm so sad.

[arisjekyl]

masterpeace.

[JmansFragments]

One Dream of my lifee

The day Heaven Stood Still

[MultiShades]

real ---death comes to thoses that have no idea...it comes ...maybe .........

[lessupposdesaturne]

Quel chance aux musiciens d'avoir pu jouer avec c'est artiste d'une classe incomparable I LOVE YOU WILLY.

[dakarlion1]

An ex girl-friend was knocked out by this song when she first heard it on a funeral. Great song from the great album "Le Chat bleu". At the time he performed here it seems like he was far far away from reality and very close to heaven. But he still made heavenly music! I'm a fan forever.

[TheGuitarjerry1126]

One of the best there ever was!

[tearsinrain2]

★★★★★★  ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

[idilber]

Bravo , hvala ti vječna za ovu pjesmu

[hauulakid]

vocally he could be Tom Waits twin

[JmansFragments]

How did i end up here

listening to this ??

from rap to this

THIS IS AMAZING

[VederchiHarry]

When I die... I want them to play that song in the church!

[MsBellaroma]

im a new fan , this guy rocks

[dakota0125]

Lovely song.

[dianneduke]

Willie was amazing, and versatiile. He could take a song, and with that great voice, mold it with so much emotion. I'm glad I found him a long time ago.

[MADMAC572]

Great song, and great performance. Willi is high as a kite here. I don't know when he performed this - after he quit heroin or not, but he's high onsomething. Somehow, it didn't detract from his performance. A genius on stage.

[mglm850]

Willy once said in an interview: I didn't write this song, the angels send it to me.

[Jupiterconjunct]

@mglm850 says "Willy once said in an interview: I didn't write this song, the angels send it to me."

mglm850 ... and the angels also sent Willy to us..... LOVE him always. I cannot stop listening to that Soulwrenching voice......

Do you know about his second wife? She hung herself (I think he was loving another Woman at the time...) he found his wife and he "cut her down". This is in his voice when he sings this song.... such DEEP emotion.... one voice in a trillion.

[RoterSternBukarest]

beautiful!

[Marialoren164]

Un artistazo injustamente Treaty Por El capricho de la suerte .

En Mi Corazón Siempre y tendras Espacio de las Naciones Unidas en mi memoria Tus canciones .

Un abrazo .

[menno63de]

Willy is the key to my heart. Best singer ever.

[katsoek]

a classic !

also very classic at his own

[EstivaFan]

30 years ago I bought his Vinyl records. He was so good in that time! I lost him out of sight. Evaluating my old vinyls I looked at YT. And now see this ..... he was a king in performance. That voice! I will never forget him!

[karntnisleians]

seen him in concert for about 10 times. so amazing! esp. mid of the 90ies he was in unbeatables shape. don't think there will ever be an artist like him. rock, blues, jazz, texmex, even kind of punk - he made it all just perfect! such a loss!!!

[archetypewoman1]

we all have that in us

that is why the song speaks to our souls

SHARE

[gmtruitt9]

Willie would have been sixty today. I miss him.

[DerWahreMalle]

Ich werde ihn niemals vergessen.

[chicoisdaman]

one of my biggest regrets was not getting to see willy live. his birthday tribute with mink deville alumni this aug in nyc will be the next best thing. his music will live forever in my heart!!!

[betonhelm]

Zwei Konzerte in Bremen waren unvergesslich.Selten ,sehr selten.

Ich habe den gleichen Bauchschuss wie er.

Nach meiner Operation im August 2009 habe ich Tränen vergossen.

Ich war versteinert und konnte kaum noch reagieren.

Ich lebe und geniesse seine Musik mit meiner Frau.

[kurtgoos]

verdammt, ich bin kurz vorm heulen....

[firmapal]

rest in peace, willy! i'm sure that heaven's not still if you're there ;-)

[Geriadonna]

...me like...Gänsehaut pur!!..For ever !

[wauwel99]

Oh Gott ! ich liebe diesen Song, danke für die schönen Momente Willy RIP

Thinking of you LC ..heaven stands still

[lenahjonsson]

@8733hans No no, you're wrong. "The sky is FALLING...."

[mynamebart]

Great smoke.

[beatriz15272]

Una voz profunda y viril un rostro tan atractivo... you keep singing on heaven,now your crowd are angels.Espero asistir a uno de tus conciertos algun dia...T amo.

[starr522]

My God. This man was amazing. Worst voice since Joe Cocker. But Damn. What an artist. I keep coming back to this man' s soul. He surly put it out there. A piano and a bass. No one but Mr DeVille could have pulled that off. Regrets I have a few. One being that I dis covered this man after he was gone.

[VederchiHarry]

just ... ''out of this World''

Love You all

[RevDrDark]

RIP dude you were one of a kind

[Patochou]

one night in E-ternity and as you're gone now heaven stants still.

We'll never forget you

[kassandra591]

Ich hatte so gehofft, Ihn noch live zu erleben. Leider kam es nicht mehr dazu. Die Welt hat einen begnadeten Musiker verloren.

[RevDrDark]

Stupifying.

[profpv]

[waughdeclan]

I heard Wille de Ville in the eighties and could never get his music out of my mind. I lost the tape Miracle a 20 years ago and have been seeking in record shops for years to buy a replacement but could remember his name. Not till tonight and when i go on line to his website i learn that he passed away last year. Listening to this made me cry. Wonderful

[hinamauka]

The very best. I miss him so much.

[atlantideales]

mi piace il video,la canzone ed il cantante....il tutto è perfezione rara

[ers56]

@SebastianDoll sono daccordo con te

[Austernschluerfer]

[marisabolt]

Magnifiek! Zo mooi!

[millicentbistander]

How could anything move with this playing in the background... what a powerful stillness. I think I'll stick around inside this song for awhile and see what there's to see. A joy for me and a joy for thee... and heaven stood still.

[steffi1281]

The first Song of Willy DeVille I ever listened to, can't get enough of it. The most wonderful, beautiful, amazing and awesome Song of this great musician!!!! Willy, I'll never forget you...You're always in my heart!!!! Rest in Peace!!!!!!

[kurtgoos]

verdammt,

ich könnt grad heulen....

[steffi1281]

Hey Kurtgoos!

Mir geht's genauso...So ein großartiger Mensch und Musiker, viel zu früh aus dem Leben gerissen. Er hinterlässt eine große Lücke. Aber wir haben seine wundervolle Musik, die ihn uns niemals vergessen lässt!

[carlos002nz]

Fantástico y original como él solo.

Thanks a lot for letting me see it.

Best wishes from SPAIN!!!.

[conchi919]

Se fue un gotico romantico.... una de las mejores voces que yo particularmente conoci.... gracias por dejanos tan buena musica..

[JUANTUBAZO]

almost didnt knew his music, but willy always was in my thoughts about life and love since i saw "beatiful losers" (1997)....i remember he said something like: no many people find love...other people find love and them they wasted...

now i just broke up with my 6 years girlfriend....and i tell you dear willy: YOU DIDNT MISS A THING!!!!

QDEP desde Venezuela+

[MrGuenterGruber]

Leider ist er nicht mehr unter uns...

and Heaven stood still...

RIP

[MsNicola2009]

Mr. De Ville

[chabu07]

Tja...hij was buiten aards so to speak!!!!!

[willafilla]

I come back here everyday. I'm going to buy this CD soon. Been Listening to Mink Deville forever, this song is so beautifully done.

[loitalove2009]

RIP WILLY

[tippytootoo]

He will go down in music history with the same passion as Edith Piaf. Unfortunately we tend to acknowledge many artists talents long after they are gone.

[cheica]

BRAVOOOOOOOOOOO

[godservan]

LOVE IT

[nowako49]

hi willi! habe erst jetzt erfahren, dass du gegangen bist. bin sehr traurig, habe dir gegönnt, dass du ein ganz alter mann mit 2 paar wollsocken im bett wirst. habe alle deine konzerte in hamburg gesehen und sie waren einfach wunderbar! erfreue alle engel mit deiner wunderbaren stimme!

I will never forget this artist or the song.Never heard of him before,what a voice.
