b. William Borsey, 25 August 1950, Stamford, Connecticut, USA. DeVille put the lid on his previous outfit, Mink DeVille, following the release of Sportin' Life in 1985. Having embarked on a solo career, he was unexpectedly chosen to sing and write the theme tune to The Princess Bride, which brought his name back into the media after several years away from the mainstream. "Storybook Love' was subsequently awarded an Academy Award Nomination, and was the closing track on 1987"s Miracle,- a soft rock/pop soul collection produced by Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits), who also played guitar throughout. Although unmistakably the voice of Willy DeVille, there was little else in slushy songs such as "Angel Eyes" and the Van Morrison cover version, "Could You Would You", to appease long-standing fans.
