Valence St in Uptown, New Orleans LA, United States (1941 – present)
Aaron Neville (born January 24, 1941 in New Orleans, Louisiana ) is an American soul and R&B singer whose beautiful, emotive and vibrato laden voice has enthralled audiences around the world. Aaron is the third of the four famous and funky Neville Brothers (Aaron, Charles, Cyril and Art Neville) who all grew up on Valence St in Uptown, New Orleans LA, United States and went their seperate ways for years before forming a unique musical group of their own in the late 1970’s.
Aaron’s full musical promise was nearly sidetracked in his youth with several false starts, compounded by run-ins with the law, bad business decisions and problems with substance abuse. By the late 1980’s, he eventually overcame numerous challenges and found stability and worldwide acclaim, becoming a widely appreciated and award winning solo singer.
Amongst his first recorded efforts in the early 1960’s for the Parlo label was the song
Tell It Like It Is which became a big hit, not only locally, but nationally as well. Aaron was unfortunately denied proper royalties, and ended up broke and working as a day laborer on the Mississippi River loading docks hearing his first hit song climbing the charts on the radio while working. Thus began a long journey into the unseemly side of show business which left him with not much to show for his efforts other than a growing drug problem.
