Description
Aaron Neville's life story is a testament to the power of faith, family, and music. Born into a housing project in New Orleans, Neville's journey to fame was marked by struggle and adversity. As a teenage father, he worked tirelessly to build a career as a musician, while also battling heroin addiction and surviving a stint in jail. It was during this difficult time that Neville found solace in music, crediting St. Jude, the patron saint of lost cases, with turning his life around. Neville's story is one of resilience and redemption, as he overcame poverty, racism, and personal demons to become a legendary singer and songwriter. With a career spanning over six decades, he achieved numerous accolades, including four platinum albums, three #1 songs, and a Grammy Hall of Fame induction. His music, which blended soul, funk, and R&B, continues to inspire new generations of fans. In "Tell It Like It Is My Story", Neville shares his life story for the first time, offering a unique glimpse into the life of a music legend. This is a story of overcoming adversity, finding healing and salvation in music, and the power of faith and family to transform lives.
