    I’m surprised this one got past Grant and the crew. Mink Deville were a great band in the 70’s and Willy’s music just got deeper and more soulful later on. I remember them getting heavy rotation on KSAN in 77-78. “Spanish Stroll”, Cadillac Strut”. Willy looked like a fifties retro guy untill he started playing then all hell broke loose. Latin rhythms, accordions, zydeco etc. Lots of good clips on YT.
