[[February 28, 2013) – Multiple Grammy Award-winning artist Aaron Neville will be featured on CBS Sunday Morning on March 3^rd. Journalist Anthony Mason visited Neville at the famous Electric Lady Studios in New York City for an in-depth interview in the same room that the soul/R&B legend recorded his first Top 10 album and highest charting set ever with his recent release, My True Story. The doo-wop inspired album was released on Blue Note Records and was co-produced by label President Don Was along with Keith Richards. Mason also tagged along with Neville in his hometown of New Orleans for an intimate and unique conversation about the singer’s career in music spanning over 50 years. Starting on March 2^nd, PBS will air the special Aaron Neville: Doo Wop: My True Story — a concert filmed in November at New York’s Brooklyn Bowl — throughout their March pledge campaign [[check your local listings). The program features Aaron Neville performing songs from his album My True Story. An incredible array of musicians and guests will join Neville, including: Greg Leisz on guitar [[Beck, Sheryl Crow, Bob Dylan, Ryan Adams), George G. Receli on drums [[Bob Dylan, James Brown), Tony Scherr on bass [[Bill Frisell, Norah Jones, Rufus Wainwright), Charles Neville on saxophone [[Neville Brothers); Michael Goods on piano, Don Was on organ, Joel Katz, David Johnson and Earl Smith, Jr. on background vocals and, finally, special guests Paul Simon and Joan Osbourne. Captured at the Brooklyn Bowl in November 2012, the concert featured special guests including Eugene Pitt of the Jive Five [[who co-wrote the album's title song), and Dickie Harmon from the Del-Vikings. All of the songs on My True Story were hand-picked by Neville himself. They are songs that have remained close to his heart since he was a child. The selections include classics by vocal group giants such as Little Anthony and the Imperials [["Tears on My Pillow"), Hank Ballard and the Midnighters [["Work with Me Annie"), and the Drifters [["Money Honey," "Under the Boardwalk," "This Magic Moment"). To Neville though, these songs weren't just the soundtrack to his youth; they became the underpinning for all of the remarkable music he has created across five decades. ***DVD SCREENER OF PBS SPECIAL FOR REVIEW AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST

Hello Ceasar,

It's good to be back at SDF with you again. I was dream207 before, but decided to use my real name this time.

I read Gene your post and he was very pleased to hear from you and says he hopes he and The Jive Five work with the Tymes again soon.

I will pass your hello on to Bobby Jay and Aaron as well.

The CD is a hit - the biggest selling album of Aaron's career and it's number 1 on the Amazon Best Seller list and the most requested album on a number of radio stations. It's good to know the classic songs are being brought to new demographics and audiences. They're proving there's a market for good music out there.

The PBS special, which begins airing tonight, is excellent from all reports. I know the NY/NJ market will see it tonight on Channel 13. It will air at different times in different areas during the March PBS pledge drive.

Tomorrow, folks can watch a feature on Aaron on CBS Sunday Morning. It usually airs from 9 - 10:30 a.m. on the East Coast.

Thank you for the good wishes, Ceasar. This album and the 3 sequels of "doo wop" Aaron plans to do, has the potential to be good for the original artists who are still performing. It's a good thing for music in general.
