Having one of the most evocative and recognizable voices in American music, Aaron Neville is an international ambassador of New Orleans R&B, though his soaring falsetto sounds at home in many styles. Coming of age in the incredibly creative 1950s Crescent City R&B scene, Neville gained national attention with the Wild Tchoupitoulas, a touring Mardi Gras celebration that led to the creation of the Neville Brothers band — an institution that would confirm Neville's iconic status. Over his multiple Grammy-winning solo career, Neville has scored a string of hits including 1966's #1 hit "Tell It Like It Is," memorable duets with Linda Ronstadt including "Don't Know Much" and a hugely popular cover of Main Ingredient's "Everybody Plays the Fool." In 2010 Neville returned to gospel music with I Know I've Been Changed, celebrating his 50th year in recorded music. In January, 2013, paying tribute to the songs of his youth, Blue Note Records released Neville's My True Story, a collection of 12 doo-wop tunes, produced by Don Was and Keith Richards, with backing by musicians such as Benmont Tench and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
