One of the most talented and at the same time one of the most criminality overlooked, underrated and a pure genius. Makes me sick to my stomach when posers and hacks get the glory & $$$$ while Willy went unnoticed except for his true fans and people who knew what real musicial and talent is.

Blame it on some idiot who was running Capitol Records at the time. He stuffed up his early album releases because he couldn't pigeon-hole home. Really, it just takes one idiot who has total control.

mink the rockstar... simply brilliant... man on sax is amazingly amazing... what variations... cheerz n keep rocking...
In 1994, he came to play to La Coruña, NW of Spain... It was late at night, probably around 10 pm, and he was being interviewed by some newspaper men from our local newspaper in a dark corner in the middle of the Promenade where people go running /jogging at night, just 5 meters from the sea. Even though I enjoyed Mink quite a lot, I had decided not to go to the gig that night, and instead, I went for a run, as I used to do mostly every night. All the time I was running, I had his music on my head powering my pace, and then I came to the dark corner where he was with the journalist. The place was empty, and the group looked at me passing by, at a decent speed (I was unaware who they were🤔), but I was surprised they turned their faces to see me... Next morning, I was reading the newspaper and unexpectedly I came across the interview - there I found out that he was really there last night - and the article says something like : "in a moment, we see a runner pass by, and Willie says" you can not be a rocker and a runner at the same time ". I am 99'9x 100 sure he meant me, there were nobody else that late... Anyway, as I tribute to the man, I was, it Was me😊, and I feel so honored he said it🎸🎸. (By the way, I keep on rocking,.. I won't break that promise😉Love up the way to heaven, heroe of mine 😍😇

I don't think it was about drugs, almost all bands did drugs. But as he explained it in interviews, Capital Records didn't know how to promote his brand of musiU in the U.S. Their dumb mistake. He wouldn't have done well being ordered around by them anyway.

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.
