2024 anyone

The sexiest tune ever. The bass, the drums, her voice. This never gets old. Never.

Loved the song from the minute I heard it in ‘89….35 years later it is still a favourite and always will be!!! ❤

What a voice,what a song will never get old. Feb 2024.

It’s a motherfriggin CRIME that a vocalist this talented didn’t achieve more fame. Just listen to that raspiness, that sultriness, the way she holds a note so softly and switches from one note to the other so effortlessly...so, so skillful.

My father passed away 1/19/20. I was driving this afternoon and Black Velvet was on the radio. Made me smile and remember the road trips and weekend mornings. This song put a smile in my heart. I love you Dad!

The break in her voice when she says 'everything' 50 seconds or so in, gets me every time. What a voice

This track has been on my radar (and in my collection) for 30 years.. kudos to those who only found it in the last decade or so.

This woman's voice is seriously amazing.

My mom would sing the hell outta this song I know she is singing it up in heaven! Love you mom, miss you much!! 😭🍹

This song really captures the magic and unique impact of Elvis Presley. And beautifully sung by Alannah Myles; excellent video!

Even the way she performed this was the most perfect way to do it. The passion in the face, The body movements to the beat. Just WOW, I was born in 1999 and will be carrying this music to my kids like my family did.

Anyone else is going through their favorite jams thinking about life back in the days? Please tell me I'm not the only one?✌🏼️

your listing to Los Santos rock here's Black velvet

Awesome rock song, a fantastic tribute to Elvis, magic '90 atmosphere, and a stunning beauty woman. What more ? ❤❤❤

This lady, this song, just wow. All these years later. Never stopped loving it.

Her voice is so incredible, UGH. I love the rasp in her voice and she's also so beautiful!😍

This song is timeless. I know we all agree.👍

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell Jimmie Rodgers on the Victrola up high Mama's dancin' with a baby on her shoulder The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for Black velvet and that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black velvet if you please Up in Memphis, the music's like a heatwave White lightning, bound to drive you wild Mama's baby's in the heart of every schoolgirl "Love Me Tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for Black velvet and that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black velvet if you please Every word of every song that he sang was for you In a flash, he was gone, it happened so soon What could you do? Black velvet and that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black velvet if you please Black velvet and that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black velvet if you please If you please If you please If you please

This song is legit my favorite from that era. I’m only 34 but gives me so many nostalgic memories of my mom playing it whilst growing up. Never gets old! ❤

This song was playing the night I kissed my future wife for the first time. 3 years later, we married, and guess what song we did our first dance to. That was 22 years ago. It was magical then, and it still is now.

One of the most underrated female singers in the modern age.

anyone else still listening to this banger in 2024?

I gave up playing bass guitar in bands 15 years ago - just got sick of doing the gigs. But every now and than I hear a blast from the past that makes me ache to play again, and this is one of them. That voice, that groove, as good as it gets!

I remember in 1989 I was crossing the bridge into Memphis on I-40 heading to N.Carolina and this song came on! The sun was setting and WOW! What a great moment! Black Velvet if you please! 29 and never thought about getting old!

Who’s listening to this right now during the coronavirus 2020

Pulling a recording session like this together must have been a huge task. The outcome yields such a smooth reward to us, the general public, we almost didn't notice due to the fantastic song writing. Likely some of the best musicians in the world at that time. It plays on the radio and nobody really notices because there are no flaws

Its easy to neglect the beauty that this song due to its frequent air play, but if you listen to it like it is the first time, you can only go 'WOOOW, rock on girl'. Such talent. Glad that his was a soundtrack to my life in 1990.

I always return to this when my faith in music begins to die. It's timeless. Musically it's catchy as hell, lyrically interesting and the video is simple yet aesthetically pleasing. It rocks, beating most music hands down. Timeless.

Thumbs up if your superb taste in music brought you here!

How many of u know it’s a song for Elvis Presley? 🥰

Alanna Myles got her voice directly from God, and she was blessed with an incredble good bass player as well ❤

I wish I was born when music was actually good like this.Late 60s, 70s, 80s and some of the 90s.

Don't be surprised if she makes a comeback. Forget the music industry. This is talent. Mrs. Myles.

Miluji tuhle píseň má šťávu,to dnesni hudbě chybí.Je skvěle a procítěně nazpívaná, děkuji 👍

I did a whole jazz dance course in 1992 when I was6, our recital group piece in Houston, Texas was this song… I have programmed in my body right now to this day most of the dance still down. Epic. To some this is ICON

I will love that bass line FOREVER.

0% Nudity 0% Swearing 0% Drugs 100% Black Leather

This song and Sam Brown - Stop are classics that will live forever.

I'll never forget my first time singing on a jam session. Audience with none of my friends and the ovation I got was unbelievable. I guess my alto power left them amazed. This song was definitely a great choice to break the ice. ❤❤❤

One of the best female voices we've ever been lucky enough to hear. And she crushes it to this day.

80's MUSIC NEVER DIES !

I saw an interview with miss myles , for this track she went down to the southern states and spent a few weeks around their accents to nail the track.. Earliest her best hit! Really sets a tone 😊

She's immortal... Time stands still when you listen to Alannah...

People used to make fun of me when I listened to this song over and over. So tell me, is there something wrong with this song? Absolutely nothing - The bass guitar and the arrangement and obviously her voice fits together so perfectly. Still up to today, this is one of my all time favourites and will always be.

Easily the most talented and versatile female rock vocalist of all time. The husk and raspiness in her voice are so subtle and unique that it blows my mind every time when I hear Black Velvet.

Alannah verkörpert für mich in diesem Video das klassische deutsche Vorstellungsbild der sogenannten Rockerbraut. Aber trotzdem bis heute immer noch toller Song. Wenn man sich da überlegt was heutzutage so im Radio läuft. Da kann die heutige Musik mit dieser hier bei weitem nicht mithalten.

Dont ask whose listening in 2020. We never left

Her voice is so incredible, UGH. I love the rasp in her voice and she's also so beautiful!😍 One best Elvis Presley tribute songs ever! Here in 2019?!

GORGEOUS as ever!! What a singing voice. VERY happy she came on the music scene.

The most underrated singer of all time!

Little black kitten showed up at my doorstep when this song came out. I called her Velvet. 🐾

Lets get one thing clear thou: this didnt pop in anyones recommend.. we all searched for it.

At 68 I still haven't heard a song better than this. All time favourite.

Saw her perform this in concert.....it was magic. The entire concert was fantastic.

This song will never be boring.

one of reasons GTA V radio didn't completely suck

I'm 1974, Polish blues fan. It was my probably the 1st real game changer video thing stuff in my life. It's epic to me (with ZZTop) and it will always be. Even learnt to play the guitar in garage band, learnt english too :) Alannah and blues 4 ever! Just wanted to say: thank you...

Immer wieder Gänsehaut ❤ egal wie oft man es sich anhört.

Criminally Underrated. Astounding. Best song about Elvis by a country mile.

When she sings you can smell the whiskey and cigarettes. Love her voice.

Entered the UK charts at No.97 on the 18th March 1990, later got to No.2 and has now gone platinum. That's a classic that stands the test of time right there!.

That was my dads favorite song . He passed away last year because of alcohole abuse. I hit this song on my Bluetooth box everyday, and i think he loved it. I hope so.... Everytime i hear this song, my body turns into a ice block, just by giving me goosbums. But i see my dad everytime when i listen to this. So to everyone who has parents, do the best and spend the most time that you can offer. Every Hour is important. The time Will come when there are no parents anymore

I met her one night after a small concert, she played black velvet that night. Still gives me goosebumps.

I love this song. :) I bet if Elvis were around when it came out, he'd be honored to hear it.

This song was way out there for its time and may have held her career back. But a true classic that still doesn't get played enough. Always loved this.

This tune is just perfect. It reminds me of that perfect night when everything is just right. I won't comment Alannah's voice cause she sang this perfectly. Her voice has so much emotion and nostalgia of times which I never lived. But the guitarist really, really nailed it. These are some of the tastiest blues licks ever. The song's opening makes me feel like I'm somewhere in the wild, at the banks of Mississippi. If you haven't, listen to the new version of the song that Alannah recorded recently, it's great.

What a GREAT 80's CLASSIC!!! 👏 A beautiful declaration of honour and love to the King of Rock'n'Roll, Elvis Presley!!! 🎶💖🎶

Who else misses the 80’s

Thank you Alannah Myles for all your music that you made. You are one of my most favourite music interpretes.

Such a timeless masterpiece ✨️

Her voice is so full of soul! One of those songs that you can’t help but love! Elvis Presley was a legend! This song says it all!

Who ELSE is still GONNA be JAMMING to this in 20/20 ?

I came here cuz it was on one of my mothers favorite 80s cds ❤ bring back memorise when i was a child ❤

Una de las mejores cantantes de los 80 ❤ la década de oro de la música internacional 😊 hubiera sido una voz inigualable para un grupo de hard rock o heavy metal 👹🤘😈🤘🧛🤘🌹

Her voice is incredible. Everything about this is perfect

If you were only going to be famous for one song you'd want it to be this damn good.

Imagine she's your grandmother and you looked through all of her memories back in the day.

Magnificent masterpiece... I am somewhere in Europe, but I always get teleported to the American South when listening to this masterpiece.

Possibly, the sexiest record ever recorded, the sexiest performance too.

My husband loved it too...biker song...gone 6 years❤

Can't top this! Wowzers. This Canadian, she has a wildness about her. And what a slick production. Love that understated B3 and acoustic guitar. BUT, she steals the show. "Alannah Myles is a Canadian singer-songwriter who has won both a Grammy and a Juno Award for the song "Black Velvet". The song was a top-ten hit in Canada; it was also a number one hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1990."

I’m a guy of many tunes and this one never gets old!! Whole lot better than the crap we now have!!!

still a damn good song and her voice is amazing

Canada's Drag Race brings us back this masterpiece 🔥

I miss a Time that I’ve never lived 😢😢😢

Edit: 2021and still better than new songs.

Pity she didn’t have more hit songs. She has a great singing voice. And plus she is super gorgeous

No cover can match this. I listened to the cover, but this is far and beyond

My brother died. But before he ran away we shared this song. It was his favorite. Rest in peace my brother I will be done soon. I love this song and the video. That you for a flash back. I couldn't save him but I am alive in 2019.

Lockdown has made me extremely nostalgic for better, carefree days ☹️ memories, Rona can’t take that from me! 🥳

Beautiful song, my uncle passed away about 5 years ago, this was his favorite song. I play it every damn time that I can. It has now become one of my favorites. Long live my uncle, rest in peace big guy. We carry on your awesome love for music. For you, and for my cousins, you left a hell of a good family behind.

Yep my poor kids ears had to listen to this over n over and I'm still listening now on my own ❤

Love this song its such a classic! one of my all time fav's and written about Elvis, Alannah has such a great voice.

At 46 years of age, this is still my favourite song ever!!!

That song is smexy af. I love the 80s and 90s.

Listening in 2024 but dreaming of being back in 1990. Happier days, desperately missed. 🫶

nobody has ever successfully covered this and the reason is because she friggin nailed it. Cant better perfection.

Pure 80s music that rocks on in 2018 & now 2019 and now 2020 and now 2021 and now 2022 & 2023
