'BRING IT ON HOME…THE SOUL CLASSICS’ AARON NEVILLE’S BIGGEST SELLING DEBUT FEATURES DAVID SANBORN, CHAKA KAHN & MAVIS STAPLES

In 1966, multiple Grammy award winning artist Aaron Neville celebrated a career first when Tell It Like It Is charted, peaking at #1 in 1967 on the R&B charts. Now, almost forty years later, after selling over 10 million records in the US alone, Aaron Neville makes history as Burgundy Records Bring It On Home…The Soul Classics becomes his highest selling debut ever. The CD debuted at #37 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart and sold 22,212 in its first week. "The early success of this CD is testament to the longevity and staying power of classic artists such as Aaron Neville. We couldn’t be happier," says Joe DiMuro, Executive Vice President and General Manager of SONY BMG’s Strategic Marketing Group and Burgundy Records.

Bring It On Home...The Soul Classics is a collection of Neville's favorite soul songs including Otis Redding's (Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay, Sam Cooke's A Change Is Gonna Come, Ben E. King's Stand By Me, Bill Withers' Ain't No Sunshine and the album's first single, Curtis Mayfield's It's All Right. The set also features collaborations with Chris Botti, Chaka Khan, David Sanborn, Mavis Staples and Art Neville. Aaron Neville kicks off his "Bring It On Home...The Soul Classics Tour" on October 1st.

The Sony BMG Strategic Marketing Group (SMG) recently launched its new record label, Burgundy Records. The Sony BMG SMG imprint plans to sign legendary multi-platinum artists and release new titles in conjunction with an innovative marketing campaign that will promote the artists through traditional and non-traditional channels.
