Aaron Neville's single "Tell It Like It Is" was a big US singles hit at the beginning of 1967 (it didn't make the UK charts, but was played on the offshore pirate radio stations including Radio London) and featured in the Top Ten of KMEN, the radio station Peel was working at at the time. It is therefore quite possible that it was heard on the "John Ravencroft Show" in the weeks before JP left the station to return to the UK.
After returning to Britain and resuming his radio career, Peel played nothing by Aaron Neville for more than a decade. After that, he played a few songs from Aaron's catalogue on his shows, including ones from his brother, Art Neville, and also revisited "Tell It Like It Is" in 1990.
