StationBreak: Aaron Neville


AaronNevilleBelieve I am still finding out what my new toy can do, and have been quite surprised by the sound quality of the onboard speakers. So I decided to load up a few different styles of music to have a bit of a better trial. While I was digging around in my music library on my old laptop I came across a version of “Oh Happy Day” by Aaron Neville. When you see a photo of this guy you would think, bit of a hulk of a man, but he has a voice like velvet. Almost hypnotic in the vocal gymnastics he can perform. Gospel music has always been a favourite of mine,  and this song is just so  uplifting, it’s been going around in my head all day, and I find myself smiling. Need I say more, well I just hit up iTunes and sprung for the whole album. Well worth a listen, and powering me through my happy day.

I’m showing my age, but when I hear of his name I clearly recall Aaron singing in the “Cotton – The fabric of our lives” commercials from the 80s. Recent parents might also recall Aaron doing Braham’s Lullaby from the “Goodnight Moon” VHS/DVD.
