With a stirring blend of R&B and soul, Grammy-winning singer Aaron Neville entertained a College Park Center crowd in the final presentation of the 2012–13 Maverick Speakers Series. Billed as “A Night With New Orleans Music Legends,” the evening featured jazz legend Ellis Marsalis. Neville’s solo career has produced four platinum albums and a string of hits, including “Tell It Like It Is” and “Everybody Plays the Fool.” He also has recorded with his brothers, Art, Charles, and Cyril, as The Neville Brothers. Neville and Marsalis, who are both members of the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame, answered audience questions between their performances.
