- This week in Louisiana history. August 24, 1955. U.S. Appellate Court desegregated LSU undergraduate classes.
- This week in New Orleans history. Willy DeVille (August 25,
1950 – August 6, 2009) was an American singer and songwriter.
During his thirty-five-year career, first with his band Mink
DeVille (1974–1986) and later on his own, Deville created
original songs rooted in traditional American musical styles.
He worked with collaborators from across the spectrum of
contemporary music, including Jack Nitzsche, Doc Pomus, Dr.
John, Mark Knopfler, Allen Toussaint, and Eddie Bo. Latin
rhythms, blues riffs, doo-wop, Cajun music, strains of French
cabaret, and echoes of early-1960s uptown soul can be heard in
DeVille's work.
