Aaron Neville (born January 24, 1941 in New Orleans, Louisiana) is an American soul and R&B singer. Aaron is the third of the four famous The Neville Brothers (Aaron, Charles, Cyril and Art Neville) of New Orleans. A product of that city's richly complex musical culture, his first vocal model was older brother Art, keyboardist and founder of the Meters. Brother Charles played sax with B.B. King while brother Cyril became Aaron's partner in a funk band they called the Soul Machine.

Aaron Neville's uniquely soulful, quavering falsetto is one of the marvels of music, but it rarely gets the treatment it deserves. The breakout member of the great Neville Brothers family of musicians has always had fine New Orleans R&B chops, and he should have been a star back in the '60s when "Tell It Like It Is" was a minor hit. Today Aaron's voice uplifts a wide range of material, from Adult Contemporary to R&B to country. His varied choice of material runs from the richness of John Hiatt to the dullness of Diane Warren, but he works best when singing songs like Randy Newman's "Louisiana 1927." His wonderfully idiosyncratic voice meshes perfectly with equally original material.

Although Aaron Neville is often compared to singer Sam Cooke in terms of sheer vocal refinement, he has a voice and style uniquely his own. He is well known as part of the New Orleans sound of the Neville Brothers. Yet, aside from the 1967 number one RB hit "Tell It Like It Is," few have heard his incredible early solo recordings.
