| | Aaron Neville Makes Verve Records Debut With "Nature Boy" |
 | | Throughout the sixties Aaron recorded for local Louisiana labels, but it wasn't until 1966 that he broke onto the national scene with "Tell It Like It Is," the plaintive ballad that went #1 on the pop charts, a song still considered a classic in the annals of American music. |
 | | On Tuesday, August 26th, Verve Records will release Nature Boy, a new recording by the great Aaron Neville. |
 | | Aaron and Cyril gigged with various obscure groups in New York before returning to New Orleans in 1976 for the recording of The Wild Tchoupitoulas, the landmark album celebrating the Indian tribe whose leader, George (Big Chief Jolly) Landry, was the brothers' beloved uncle and prime musical/spiritual inspiration. |
