TELL IT LIKE IT IS My Story

Aaron Neville's fans will look past the author's flat performance and be moved by the poignancy of the R&B singer's story. He's fully present as a narrator, and listeners will hear the joys of his musical achievements and the sorrows of his on-and-off struggles with street drugs. Between his 1966 chart-busting single, "Tell it Like It Is," and his 2014 Grammy Hall of Fame induction, he recorded four platinum albums, had three #1 hits, and was a recognizable media star whose soaring falsetto captured every ounce of passion in the songs he performed. Though his spoken-word skills are no match for his singing talent, listeners will know that creating this oral history meant something to him.
