Aaron Neville, Like It Is (reissued as Humdinger), 1967 on Minit
Although this was released in 1967 on Minit (and Liberty in the UK) as Like It Is, my copy is a 1986 reissue titled as Humdinger, on Stateside (a UK label designed to reissue things from smaller American labels).
As John Broven’s sleeve notes (from 1986) put it:
This album harks back to Aaron’s first recordings for the famed Minit label of New Orleans, between 1960 and 1962. Already his burgeoning talent as an R&B torch balladeer has started to burst through.
The reissue adds two tracks: “Humdinger” and “Show Me The Way.” Allen Toussaint on piano, joining Alvin Tyler (baritone sax), Chuck Badie (bass), Melvin Lastie (cornet), John Bourdreaux (drums), Roy Montrell (guitar), and Nat Perrilliat (tenor sax).
Love it – heavily influenced by Nat King Cole and maybe Sam Cooke, with some New Orleans influence (though not very strong here as on later Neville Brothers records).
