Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day


Artist:Aaron Neville

Song:Tell It Like It Is

Album:The Very Best Of Aaron Neville





Of course Aaron Neville is part of the New Orleans based Neville Brothers. He's pretty popular these days because of his recent recordings. But Tell It Like It Is was a big hit way back in 1967. By the time the song was a hit, the record company was out of business and Neville was back to working a day job and working occasionally with his brothers. He didn't really surface again until the 80s and now it's like he's always been around. This comp just throws in a couple of older songs and mostly covers his A & M recordings of the 80s. The recent Music Avenue comp Mojo Soul consists of his recordings from the 60s & 70s. His latest CD is called Bring It On Home...The Soul Classics on Sony BMG's Burgundy label. It's newly recorded covers of classic soul. Here's Aaron Neville performing Tell It Like It is with an all star band including Gregg Allman & Bonnie Raitt.
