The beauty about growing up in the 80s and early 90s was the fact that the music was so ubundant. You enjoyed listening to rock, rap, funk...it didn't matter.....you appreciated all genres. The talented bands that were coming out in droves in the 80s was something else. Damn I miss those times.

If you aren't tapping your foot to this song, you aren't alive. Awesome song, awesome voice.

Beautiful voice and beautiful song for Elvis.RIP,Elvis.

Love this song! It proves that 12 years after his death, Elvis was still sorely missed by his fans all over the world. Elvis is still the king.

This was about Elvis. Rock n Roll was the "new religion that would bring you to your knees" "Love me Tender leaves them crying in the aisles " Love Me Tender was Elvis' first movie and also the name of the song from the movie Elvis sang. "In a flash he was gone it happened so soon" some people say that is about when he went into the service but others think it's his untimely death at the young age of 42. I think it's his death. I've actually had arguements with a friend about that! Lol At any rate. This is a GREAT song that captures the Southern feel very well. And you are right, it is shocking it was her only hit, at least in the states! Great reaction!

She looks and sounds like a Southern country girl, but she's actually a Canadian from Toronto - loved this song for over thirty years now and it never grows old - perhaps the greatest Elvis tribute song ever! And yes, she's not exactly a one-hit wonder, but this is by far her best known work - thanks for reacting to this gem!

She won a Grammy and a Juno for this song

Another great Canadian artist! This wasn't her only hit - she has a bunch. Listen to "Still Got This Thing For You!"

She has a very sultry, sexy voice... along with power behind it. She never got the props she deserved.

Another beautiful tribute to the King himself! Love Live the King!

If you've ever seen the old "Velvet Elvis" pictures, that's what she is referring to.

This song has a sexy groove. One of my favorites.

Another good song about Elvis is Walking in Memphis by Marc Cohn.

I never understood why Alannah Myles didn't have more hits. She had it all, the voice, the looks, the attitude.

Country blues. I love the guitars. Her voice is perfect for this song and the mood of it.

Great song. If you liked the sound and style of this song and want to hear another female rock vocalist who can really bring it, you should react to Melissa Etheridge's song "I'm the Only One". It has a similar feel and is a fantastic vocal performance.

This is NOT her only hit. She has several great tunes Next one by her try "Love is"

Man...I've done so many shots of BV to this song!! 🤣🤣🥃 cheers!! As an Elvis lover (thanks to my mom), this song was so awesome back in the day!!

Amazing song about the amazing Elvis. Her voice is incredible!

Such a perfect description. Sun is setting like molasses in the sky.

Just an amazing song... ya know I didn't realize back in the day how lucky we were to have music like this... 50s and 60s with my folks, 70s - early 90s as I was growing up, I'm just glad you younger guys are getting exposed to what we take for granted 🤩

She just didn’t get the respect she deserved for that voice, man This song still to this day still gets me dancing around my house

I can't help but blast the song anytime I hear it on the radio

This song was done in reference to Elvis Presley. This was her tribute to The King!

Alannah miles born December 25, 1958 Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I sure do enjoy reactions.

Check out Marc Cohn Walking Through Memphis🕊🎸🕊

She's singing about Elvis Presley! They used to sell pics of Elvis on black velvet background. Listen closely you'll see all the Elvis references. Memphis..."Love me Tender was a song from Elvis..so on! Great song!!✌❤🎶

The guitar riff is a blues classic one. You can find it in Muddy Waters"Mannish Boy" or in David Bowie"Jean Genie". What Alannah add to this blues riff, it's the drumming. Hard, loud, it drives this song to the sky. And the star in this sky is this fabulous voice.

This was about Elvis

Hey J- did you catch that this is about Elvis? She mentioned Memphis, “love me tender” (his song) keeps em crying. And other Elvis references-Great song! 💛✌️✨

Another great Canadian singer, "Lover of Mine"

No Country ... just the best rock ...Alanah is our Canadian national treasure ! They used to paint Elvis pictures on black velvet and that's what this is about

This was one of those songs me and my cousins would sing along to with the radio, usually into a hairbrush

i love this song! one of my favorites to listen too. IT'S BAD ASS!

Alannah Myles, good old Canadian girl but I actually saw her in London oh, she was going to perform at a concert there awesome

I love this song about Elvis, love the bluesy sound and she has a great voice❣️

Love that song!! This sounds like Country Rock to me. I have never seen the person who sang this. Honestly I thought it was Heart for years and years. She has such a great voice, so surprised she only had the one hit wonder.

I saw her in concert a few years back. In spite of a few ijuries she still has an astounding set of pipes. BTW, this was NOT her only ht. Only her best known.

I still love this song. 💕It’s so sultry. Ah la na

I just love watching Jovaughn enjoy music I listened to when I was young☺️♥️

That groove, that bass is so catchy you never tire of this classic plus that voice mmmmmmmm

Love this song! BLACK VELVET IF YOU PLEASE! She has a beautiful voice… Lots of GRIT! But smooth………🥁🎶🥁🎶🥁🎶🥁🥁🥁🎧

She is Canadian and was big in that country, still is. She did a lot of amazing songs.

Her tribute to Elvis! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

That bass run is from the blues. You'll find it in a lot of rock, blues, R&B and everything in between.

This girl rocks, that stage with dangerous intent. Namely I love it.

Ooooo great song!!! I didn't even know what I was clicking on but decided to anyway and realized I know this song. Your reaction channel has reintroduced me to some good stuff.

She is so sultry the way she sings this song and raw..love it!

Didn't realise this song was about Elvis...... Yeah... I can see it now... Great voice. ❤️

My mom adored this song when it was on the radio. I did too. One of the SMOKIEST songs ever sung, and she does it so well. Even without it being about Elvis it'd still be awesome.

Like a shot of J.B....This song goes down smooth nd burns the senses all the way. I love this one. It took the music world by storm n brought it to its knees. Unfortunately, it as such a major hit that she could never recover n make another hit song. Great react J thanks for finally getting to it. I knew you'd love it. Thanks J

It's one of those songs where ya have to put it on repeat for a while lol. Sultry voice. Love it!

Great reaction! The lyrics paint the picture, the music and her vocals pull you INTO the picture. Perfect song. 💜

that was killer great album had it,, seen her live when she toured after the release. fire! go down the rabbit hole Jayvee,,

Even though the song is really about Elvis, the bluesy sound, and her voice, go well with the whisky of the same name.

This Masterpiece was her tribute to Elvis..😎

Great song. Love the entire album. Such an amazing voice.

Her album "Alannah Myles" was pretty big in Canada with her other hits "Love Is" and "Lover Of Mine" but my favourite of hers is "Still Got This Thing"

This was *NOT* her only hit- it was just her only hit in America. Many acts we call "one hit wonders" had huge careers around the rest of the world.

Thank you for reacting to this song. Been wanting someone to do it. Listen to it again and think of Elvis and the words will mean more to you. Thanks again and stay safe.

Such a smokey heat in her version.

Iconic song ❤

THX THX THX THX !!! I asked for this some time ago as a good Canadian girl and I've been waiting and waiting...Soooo thrilled thank you AGAIN !!!!

YES. I have always loved this song. Thank you Insane this was her only hit

Great voice, great song. Thanks Jayvee for the reaction.

Yayyy a Canadian! We have some great music...

Glad you reacted to this because I actually find it underrated for reaction videos. I love the chorus! Great raspy vocals and harmony!

so glad you got to her finally, been suggesting her music now on to "Love is" "Lover of mine" "Song instead of a kiss"

Oh loved this song the first time I heard it. She has a unique voice and does justice to Elvis imo 💗

Will always remember her for this track ..... Very cool this one !

Such a powerful voice. Love this song Black Velvet great song. Amazing voice wish she had made more hits songs.

YASS!! I flippin' LOVED this song back in the day!

You rule for making these videos.... your reactions are worthy every time! :)

We didn't have a black velvet of Elvis that I recall. It was a Siamese cat painted onto black velvet. Hehe and an ownership of a beautiful Siamese cat named Charlie. The black lite and strobe lites of my toddler days. LOL Love to sing this song. Beautiful lady singing. The great big extra is the horse. My favorite animal. Edit: the video he watched did not show the horse in the original video. The original was when she had on the hat looking western on a porch. She rode up to the porch on a horse.

Another great Alannah song is Love is

Never knew much about the artist but I always loved this song

That riff is the 12 bar blues, a staple in older blues.

Thanks Jayvon for playing more Canadian music.

This song definitely has a strong blues influence!

I haven't heard this song in years. You have reminded me of how much I love it!

Fantastic song, incredible voice. Another stand out female rock voice of the 90s was Amanda Marshall, check out 'Let it Rain'👍

Not many people know, this song is about Elvis!!!! Listen to the words

Love you, Javon. So easy and peaceful

I like "Love is" even more! Great singer! :)

Thank you Jay for reacting to one of my favorite songs about Elvis Presley❤️❤️

Man you are rocking some awesome hits today of my childhood, I love so many of them

Great Reaction to a fabulous song...

from some time i listen to old music as therapy. i heard a lot of songs but i know there are a lot of songs which i can't recall. i know just melody but not name of song, band or singer. and i definitely know there are tunes of songs which are deep in my heart and i can't even remember melody. i found a lot of pearls but man, i didn't hear this song over 20 yrs! it is such happyness to find another jewell and let's say another puzzle of my youth. thank you and thank to people which give you such great suggestions...

10th june 1990. I was starting my military service. Hot summer and this one was playing on my cars radio 2 or 3 times when I drove to the base for the first time. I always get strong flashbacks when I hear this stunning song.

She was an art student at the time, and I can relate to her, plus I sing, and this song is the one I start with.

I forgot All about this song. It was huge back in the day. Nice!

Alannah Myles - Bad 4 You, got to listen to that 1!

Fabulous voice. Like the lyrics as well.

She's one seriously underrated singer

Lover Of Mine is where you should go next. Saw her in concert a few times in her heyday and, in addition to her great voice, she was one of the most stunningly attractive human beings I've ever seen. As good as she looks on video, she looked much better in person.

That ‘groove’ is 12 bar blues based and it’s over 100 years old, great song.

Always gives me chills

Love this song and her voice!! Great reaction!!

One of the best female vocalist of all time. Super underrated!

This song was a great moment in time.
