Absolutely brilliant tune - got everything, stage prescence, smokin' band - big shout out to that backing vocalist - what an absolute power house ! Damn !
Thanks . I know Alannah's story . Besides the album I've down loaded some of her music from UA-cam . I have the Alannah album & rocking horse . Read she has a spinal disease & suffered severe damage during treatment . Sorry to read that . Cheers from Australia 🦘
Perhaps what Ms. Myles hasn't realized as of yet, is that many countless of us ordinary people will have this thing for her transcending through time and space for eternity, holding the flame while driving us insane. That is the power of love, of music. Her music and pictures should be put in a time capsule as a testament to her awesomeness. Hopefully, the Earth will be around for future generations to come so that they may appreciate and enjoy her music. I consider her to be Canada's national Rock treasure. Let the people vote. When Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles are long gone, people will not remember them but they will remember Alannah Myles.
Black Velvet is certainly a HOF song, and unique one of a kind all-time classic song. But for the die-hard head banger rock fans like me..... THIS one here is Alannah's best ever song !!!
@@tezzrterry7485 sadly Alannah was not the only one ,lots of bands have been ripped off by record companies ..I know lots of bands that never got paid any money for appearing on television and similar stories
I've still got this thing for Alannah Myles. One of my top three all-time singers. Saw her live once where they raffled off a guitar signed by her and the winner would get to meet her after the show. I had all the numbers on my ticket but the last one, which was two digits off. Still heartbroken 23 years later.
@@lumberlikwidator8863 Believe it or not, I know who Marta Sanchez is! I used to watch _MTV Internacional_ every Saturday, and they'd show videos by Olé Olé as well as Marta's solo stuff.
You have summed it up with that great comment! You're telling me! How the hell did she not become an international superstar? She rocks, she struts, she exudes sexuality and she has the sexiest moves and a nice butt. I want everything she recorded now!

I saw a photo of Ms. Myles from February 2023 recently on the CityNews Calgary website. She’s still hot, although she is suffering health issues, including “Ankylosing spondylitis . . . an inflammatory disease that can cause some of the spinal vertebrae to fuse together over time”. None-the-less, she is working on a few projects, and I’m hoping she releases some new material. Alannah, my respects, and carry on.
LOVE the voice. Rock 'n' Roll, smoky, Bluesy. She delivers and never disappoints. What I don't understand is this. Why is she not famous in the enormous way that she deserves? She has the complete package. Why has she gone with out recognition and had an under-the-radar music career. This does not make sense to me at all. One of the finest singer/songwriters Canada has ever produced.
Man did Alannah have the stage presence, looks and she can strut her stuff . She has it all . True Rock n Roller through and through. Great song. Cheers 🇨🇦
I am 65 years old, got stuck thinking I am still a teenager, Alannah just came to my mind, came straight here. My poor kids, will they have these kind of memories ???
Many years have passed but I still got this thing for her. Did she and her band ever shake and rock the air waves. Alannah was a force of nature like a F4 Hurricane. She was and still is HOTT! Hey baby can I carry your flame? Rock on Alannah!
8 year old me in 1990, loved this song! As well as lover of mine and black velvet. I had no idea why I liked her songs so much, but I did! My mom was a huge fan of Alannah Myles back then, she would play her cassette all the time. I am so glad I grew up during such an awesome time for music
My brother bought me a ticket to go see Alannah Miles in concert in Sudbury Ontario years ago.She was amazing!! She is my favourite Canadian singer/songwriter.
Let us not forget the song Lover of Mine. So damn heart wrenching and beautiful. My oh my can she belt out those tunes with so much energy! Her vocalist in the background and her band are simply super amazing. Alannah must have sent many countless men insane. She was a very explosive force like an F4 hurricane unleashed in the Rock World. Many of these Pop Singers of today cannot hold a candle to her. She blows them away! Alannah never received the recognition that she deserved a thousand fold.
Just parked my car and the radio started playing 'Black Velvet', I couldn't leave until the entire song played through, instantly became an Alannah Myles fan, she struck a nerve. Still remains a fave to this day!
@@ericaespinosa4030 .....3 years later.....she had her hit Black Velvet and the cd was out. She was beginning to tour at that time but small venues mostly. We were at a small round table about 10 feet away from the stage so it was a really small club.
such a great music video for such an irresistable rock track.......what alannah puts into her performance is what makes her so,so,so appealling..............................i will be very sombre when i find out that she's no longer around because i'm aware that"at present"she is not in a good way at all.........
I love all Canadian bands and singers! Thank you Jesus, we have such nice and talented northern neighbors!!! Thank you all, my Canadian brothers & sisters! Thank you, Alannah Myles for the joy you are gifting to people!!!
Let anyone say what they want... Alannah Myles could rock with the best of them. She could sing, and engage an audience as well as Lita or Joan ever thought of doing it.
My heart just TOTALLY melts for this song and Allanah was part of my matric dance 30 years ago and she still rocks my world!!! I Love her music So much. LEGEND! The menories are sweet 😊
I always really liked her voice......I don't understand what happened to her career. She won a grammy for Best Female Rock back in 1990. I saw her in concert, I thought she was fantastic.
Cindy Wedel - Alannah's band made a deal with Atlantic records, and they said a lot of the money she made went to cover "up front costs" of producing the record album. Alannah was next to broke for a long time after this record came out. She's been getting some monies lately over the last 10 or so years I believe, and I hope so, because without her performing this, this song wouldn't be near big as it is. It should be noted here --that Alannah did not write this song, but her boyfriend in the band at that time did, and became quite wealthy, as he got royalty writes for writing , and composing the song. Since Alannah didn't write the song, she got nothing, for composition. This is sort of a sad story IMO, for one of the most talented female rock singers of all time. Allannah could have married her boyfriend in the band, but didn't want to. She also could have married Robert Plante from Led Zeplin, but didn't want to give up her career for his. Then she got in a serious car accident in the 1990's and also fell off a horse, and screwed her back up, so she was in awful sad shape for a long time , and could hardly walk. I hope she's gotten a lot better, and gained back her old vitality, health, and movement. She had "very restricted" mobility for a long time I hope she's better now, as she was "definitely" one of the greatest female rock singers ever, with one of the most seductive, raspy sounding blue's voices I've ever heard. On top of all that, she had great beauty, gorgeous face, a great body and a wicked set of legs -- Alannah was indeed the whole package.
My name is Alannah and I'm on my boyfriend's account. In 1996 on November the 1st at 1:18am, my Dad decided that I would be named after Alannah Myles, I feel like she needed to know this.
Cranked and played over and over again when this album was released.
Still do.......!!!!!
me to
Same!
A great song that stood the test of time! The 3 other hits of Alannah's Eponymous album are classics too!
She was freaking hott .. with an amazing voice!!!
Absolutely brilliant tune - got everything, stage prescence, smokin' band - big shout out to that backing vocalist - what an absolute power house ! Damn !
It's a darn tootin' shame people in general only know one song from this album. The whole record is fire!
you are absolutely right
Like her energy onstage she has aggressive. Superstar💫 energy
she has the same name as me, the only way i found her music
Alannah was good . She wasn't on the scene for very long . Not in Australia any way . Bought the album . Sydney Australia 7/4/2024
Surprised you've heard of her minus black velvet..
She was a singer in a band put together by the songwriters, hense why it was a short stint.
Thanks . I know Alannah's story . Besides the album I've down loaded some of her music from UA-cam . I have the Alannah album & rocking horse . Read she has a spinal disease & suffered severe damage during treatment . Sorry to read that . Cheers from Australia 🦘
This Aussie totally agrees
@buddhacook1087 buldada friend from Sydney happy new year 🎊
She was amazing. Canadian all the way. 🇨🇦 awesome 👏🏽
I always firmly believed this was the best song off that first album. It boggles my mind to this day that it wasn't a much bigger hit.
"Love Is' is a rocker and more commercial. It made #36 on the US chart & is why I bought the album!

Thanks!!!
One of the most under-appreciated voices of the late 80s and 90s.
Black Velvet was a huge international hit back in the 80s. Not so underappreciated IMO.
Where was she under-appreciated, bud? Not in Canada.
A M was and probably still is smokin 🔥 she can sing to me anytime!!! 💯✌️😎
Why was she not a star
It's just my guess, maybe there were certain limits that she wouldn't cross to become a star.

No, she's figuratively burning up that stage. If she really did it, she'd have gone to jail for arson.

Could‘nt agree more !! She is amazing
It is a shame. You do wonder why she’s still not around. Bring her back.

Ask Chris ? The guy from much music. He made all the. $$. I have several of her CDs. I'd luv to meet her if still in Toronto .❤
The smile from the bass player at 1:25 says it all. Alannah is pure dynamite
Love this Lady.Raw Talent And Beautiful.From Toronto Canada
Hell Yeah!!!!!!! Love Her!!!!! Rock n Roll!!!!!!!!!!! Alannah!!! Im 71 now, Still Rock n Roll!!!!!!!!
This chick rocked, blows all these pop singers away!
Check out the band Toronto with Holly Woods and Headpins with Darby Mills.
Every drum beat, guitar chord and word flawlessly memorized from a lifetime ago.

Unfortunately they won't. We were blessed.
The full meal deal, the looks, the energy and a complete range voice that rock your socks off or melt you with a ballad.
Holy crap! She's amazing. I'm hearing this for the first time 27 years late. Wow.
SAME HERE .. First time. I came!
She is amazing in 2020 , just like when she released it
Unfortunately she doesn't sound as good as she use too.
Better late than never.
Just noticed that her outfits keep changing from different gigs. Wow!
Love her voice...and no other singer moves on the stage like Alannah !! She's fantastic.

Can't get enough of this song! Been a huge fan forever!!
My favorite song of hers!!! It rocks
Elle a de la voix, de la présence sur scène, belle et expressive. Sa musique pousse bien. Super nana !
I can't stop looking at her. She owns the stage.
OMG, forgot how much I loved this track - should have been a huge worldwide hit!
Still the Canadian Goddess of rock n roll. Incomparable. What a performer! What a VOICE!!
Her look, her voice, her stage presence, she's got it all !! ... and at 3.50 !
Oh my god don’t get me even started on what it does to me when i see her at 3:50! Such a great presence!
My God! She's like lightning bolt!⚡🌩️ A true performer ♥️👍

I'm not sure how familiar the entire album will be now.
