The first of Aaron Neville’s singles to get airplay outside of “New Orleans” was “Over You” (Minit, 1960). Neville’s first major hit single was “Tell It Like It Is,” which topped Billboard’s R&B chart for five weeks in 1967 and also reached number two on the Hot 100. It sold over one million copies and was awarded a gold disc. In 1989, Neville teamed up with Linda Ronstadt on the album, Cry Like a Rainstorm, Howl Like the Wind. Among the duets recorded for the disc were the number one Grammy-winning hits “Don’t Know Much” and “All My Life.” “Don’t Know Much” earned a million-selling Gold single, while the album was certified triple platinum for US sales of more than three million. His other hits have included “Everybody Plays the Fool,” “Don’t Take Away My Heaven,” “Hercules” and “Can’t Stop My Heart From Loving You (The Rain Song).” 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 Trench and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
