Not sure what to say?

My sincere condolences to Mrs. Neville and her Sons. I met Charles at the Lands In Sights Festival in Montreal, Canada, in 2003. I can't remember if I met Mrs. Neville, but I think I did, because I wanted to visit with her at the University in Boston were she worked. Charles said that when I needed him for my "Crooner" project, I should reach out, and he'd be a part of it. Dear Sir...I'm saddened that I was late. You and your brothers' have been an inspiration in my life and on my musical...

He came to West Palm Beach festival to perform with brothers maybe 1990 or so. Met him very nice cool humble guy. He Needed a split. So I had 1 extra gave to him. Gave me phone number say if ever in town call him. Very appreciated person. Never forgot him. Just fond out He passed. Condolenses to his family.

God is a God of all Comfort and he will Comfort the family's...My condolence...

Miss you my friend always great seeing you win I could

May God Bless

As a youth during The Neville Brothers Fun Years I can easily admit that you were my most favorite, and most followed, band of that era. I loved witnessing y'alls miracles of sound in the quarter, at the fairgrounds, Tipitina's, and those MANY overnight riverboat cruises on the Mississippi!!!
From your Fiyo on the Bayou funky sounds to the perfect complications of magic with your Brother's Keeper album I found my love of music evolve with y'alls excellence!
I look forward to...

Charles was A true ambassador of music for the City of New Orkeans. He and the Neville Brothers were a true "Funk Band" who were talented enough to be world icons. They never got their due. It was always a pleasure to see he and his brothers perform. God bless from the Big Easy. You will never be forgotten.

I was so sad to hear this news today when it was announced at a live performance I attended. I had not heard about it. I had always hoped to see him live somewhere here in western Mass but unfortunately never got around to it. RIP, Your music will live on!
