In 1983, the rock band Mink DeVille released their fifth album 'Where angels fear to tread'. Mink DeVille as a rock group had effectively ceased to exist as a band; only lead singer Willy DeVille remained from the original band. For this album, Willy DeVille reached deeper into his Latin roots, even recording a salsa number, 'Demisado Corazon.'
This single, 'Each word's a beat of my heart', reached number 89 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 12 in the Netherlands.
