Some of my favorite male singers of all-time are Al Green, Sam Cooke, Prince, and Aaron Neville.
That's right...Aaron Neville.
I was first introduced to Mr. Neville in the mid 60s or 70s via a song called "Tell It Like It Is."
I always loved his voice and in later years I discovered that he was a native of New Orleans and that he sang with his siblings, The Neville Brothers.
When I first heard the song ,"Don't Take Away My Heaven", I was in awe.
I bought ""The Very Best Of Aaron Neville" poured a scotch and soda, and just sit back to enjoy that voice. The hits were back to back to back...The afore-mentioned two songs, Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come", George Jones (!) "The Grand Tour", 'I Don't Know Much" (with Linda Ronstadt)...
Heaven.
You can purchase this CD on good 'ol amazon.com.
