Archive material and source history
Ivan Neville grew up in New Orleans, where his father was the R&B singer Aaron Neville. He started playing music in the early 1970s with the band Dumpstaphunk. His solo debut came in 1987 with the album 'If My Ancestors Could See Me Now.'
In 1990, he released the album 'Thanks,' which included the song 'Why Can't I Fall In Love.' That track reached the top 10 on Billboard's R&B chart and became his best-known work. He has recorded several other albums, including 'My Blue Room' in 1995 and 'The Road to Redemption' in 2015.
Neville has worked with musicians like drummer Tony Hall and bassist David Torkanowsky. He spent some time away from music in the mid-1990s after a drug-related arrest and prison sentence.
