Aaron's 1995 R&B flavoured release, "The Tattooed Heart", featuring covers of classics by Bill Withers and Kris Kristofferson went gold, while 1997's pop-orientated "...To Make Me Who I Am" included songwriting contributions from contemporary hitmakers Babyface and Diane Warren as well as two new duets with Ronstadt, including a cover of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face." This was followed by a 2000 gospel album "Devotion" which topped the US gospel album chart, and his 2003 debut for Verve Records entitled "Nature Boy: The Standards Album" which topped the US jazz album chart. The album saw Neville covering selections from the Great American Songbook, including another Ronstadt duet "The Very Thought Of You."
