One of my aunts was an escort in Vegas, she met Elvis and he really liked her so her took (and other women) with him on a tour abt 6-8 months. Now she’s in a nursing home. I want to visit her and just hear all her stories. She fkd everyone lol of course some would be embarrassed by that but I’m fascinated!! She never had kids and eventually contracted HIV in the 80’s she’s honestly one of the nicest ppl I’ve ever met in my life- so funny too. It’s crazy to me bc she wasn’t even that pretty. She is my moms half sister. Her mom was the daughter of a chief on the hoopa reservation and her dad (my grandpa) was a Russian Jew, she had this hook nose, weird body etc but she was I guess good at her trade 🤷♀️ Lol

The song is a paean to Elvis Presley, whose portrait was often painted on black velvet, and who used a hair dye named Black Velvet. Co-writer Christopher Ward, who was Myles' then-boyfriend, was inspired on a bus full of Elvis fans riding to Memphis attending the 10th anniversary vigil at Graceland, in 1987.

My ma loved this too. My ma's been gone for 9 years and she loved music. After she passed, I couldn't listen to music for a while without losing it. It's amazing how a song can bring back so much. RIP

It's a dedication to Elvis & is written with his Mother at heart. It is beautiful! And so is Alana & her voice.

"Black Velvet" was Gladys Presley's favorite addiction. That's what brought that little boy's smile. She used to get down on her knees and pray with him. It was a new religion. 🎻 .

To Alannah Myles: your song is way beyond good. It is just fantastic. Before I knew much about Elvis, I just thought it was a real good song-not even having a clue. I’m a huge fan of the King. Thanks so much! And you have a great voice too.

People don’t realize how hard it is to get the note lengths so perfect so as to NOT draw attention to the droning effect of the bass. Great tone. I always wondered what bass and sound processing was used.

Music really started in the mid-50s and unfortunately died in the early eighties. Now they just scream obscenities to an obnoxiously loud Bass.

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

I was a little black girl in love with Elvis like my classmates were with Michael Jackson. I was so crazy about this song when it came out. He was worth every moment I spent being teased about my love for him. Ever word of every song that he sang was for me. This song plays in my home daily. 2hen I start singing with a band again this is part of my song list.
