    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.

      @@no-oneman.4140 Apologies, if I upset you. That was not my intention. Much in the way of tone gets lost in text. My point (if only for posterity) was simply that, evidently, it was a favourite song for millions of people; and, presumably, still is. No higher standards could it have possibly met. I'm not trying to take away your love for the song, or patronize you. Not at all. I'm just saying, underrated it is not, and never was. The use of that word in general, these days, is rampant and frustrating. Whatever might be trending on modern social media, at any given moment, does not reflect the greater state of music, artists, or their fans. Cheers!

    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

    A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees

      One aspect of the song listeners have frequently noted is the tune's distinctive fretless bassline. While a common belief holds that the melody was played using an actual fretless bass guitar, Myles' bassist for the rest of her self-titled album, Steve Webster, acknowledged in an online discussion forum that he did not perform the bassline on "Black Velvet" himself; rather, it was Tyson who played the riff on a synthesizer, using a fretless bass sample.[7]

    Lyrics:
    Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
    Jimmy Rogers 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
    💗💗

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.

Just changing one member of the original lineup can surely destroy the "feeling". Songs grow into musicians and bands, its not just "songs". No one can ever top this.

It's a shame most people only know this song lol. Her music didn't track because she got fucked over by toronto music producers and they didnt send her to tour in the US with the big rock bands at the time.

    • @beatnikrn2945
      @beatnikrn2945 5 років тому +4

      David Bently: true, but his parents moved to the outskirts of Memphis when he was young. They were poor and lived on the other side of the tracks so he grey up around blues singers. They taught him. Even his “look” fake from the store in Memphis where the blues legends bought their clothes. Blue suede shoes, long collar, etc. He didn’t go to Memphis for or after fame, he came from it. He was surrounded by Gospel and Blues. So when some people say he “stole” the R&R sound, the truth is he was part of it. They welcomed him in and taught him blues. But his singing style was all his own!
