a band called “The Meters” started by his brother Art, which later became the Neville brothers.

I saw Cyril playing with the Nevilles at the Warfield over a decade ago. It wasn’t the Meters, of course, his first band led by Art Neville, but most of the Neville men. I’d won tickets to that New Year’s week concert. My first chance to see them in person and I was blown away. A very SF experience. When I’m in New Orleans (a bunch lately), I try to see their sister who plays a regular club on French Street.

Cyril was in several bands, i.e., Art Neville & the Neville Sounds, then Soul Machine, then Endangered Species Band and finally the band that skyrocketed him to fame was Uptown Allstars Band.
I hope I win.
Thanks.
