Abstract

Aaron Neville, a renowned pop singer, has retired from performing at the age of 82 and now spends his time farming on his Hudson Valley property in New York. His wife, Sarah Friedman, runs most of the business on their farm, but Neville helps out and occasionally performs for a select audience of plants and poultry. Neville's memoir, "Tell It Like It Is," recounts his struggles with addiction and his journey to becoming a successful singer. Despite facing financial setbacks early in his career, Neville believes that not making money from his hit song "Tell It Like It Is" was a blessing in disguise, as it prevented him from succumbing to a drug overdose. Neville's singing style is described as angelic, and he has collaborated with artists like Linda Ronstadt. He credits his wife, Sarah, with saving him and believes that she was sent by God.
