I was 12 years old when I seen this chick in Ottawa it was my first outdoor concert , she blew my mind with her voice I knew right then and there I was gonna have an open mind for music. Alannah Myles you had me at "Show me"
She' not underrated She's Allanah Myles, in a time of pop and rap and Metal She came out with bluesey country, She literally did what no one else did and it shot her to super stardom there is no way she is underrated Black Velvet was one of the most played songs and was ALWAYS on video hits. She's not underrated
it's criminal that the views for this isn't in the MILLIONS! And she's got some wild eyes. Man she was way hot. This song rules too. wold rather listen to this any day over what's on the radio now
@@elisabetpurve2908 from what I understand she was seeing a chiropractor who had requested to see her more often than what is recommended and buggered up her neck or something
Agree 100%, the texture of her voice is completely unique. To me "Love in the Big Town" is one of the best rock songs ever produced. Her Rocking Horse album is pure perfection
@@jordantreyofficial Yes. Music now sounds mostly the same regardless of gender. 70/80s artists and bands (for example Marillion, Queen, AC/DC), god, they were on a different level. I really wish that music like that will be back soon.
When singers with less talent get all the views and air time you know that Alannah would not sleep her way to the top. Cause that is what you gotta do when real talent (like Alannah's) doesn't get to the top. A talented artist with the strength of soul.
I’m convinced the 80s was the most awesome era of our time. I’m so damn sad I got only baby memories of the 90s I won’t ever get to experience a great amazing decade. Depressing. My generation sucks so much
Someone said that the music you grow up on when you're 14-17 is the most important factor in what you'll compare current music to. And I think that's correct.... Every decade has its ups and downs, believe me. In hindsight, and that's usually about 20 years later, those decades certainly look great. But were they really?... I was born in '65, and consciously lived through the latter half of the 70s and beyond, and I'm just saying: don't believe everything you see or hear. Remember those typical 80s series like Miami Vice etc? Life simply wasn't like thát. We actually thought the 80s music totally sucked, back then. With a few exceptions of course... And it's actually so much easier to listen to that 80s electronic music now 🤣🤣 Same with 90s - trust me, it wasn't all about wearing checkered shirts and (speaking of depressing....) listening to grunge 🤣 I used to think the same as you about the 60s - which I was too you to remember. There was still an innocence that remained from the 50s, right before everything went to shit with Vietnam happening and drugs (and related crimes) becoming a massive problem.... The 90s definitely had their good moments, and so do the 00s and 10s. In time you'll see that too. Don't let it wear you down - and don't feel guilty of missing it either: I've been to some 80s / 90s revival parties (all the good stuff and none of the bad 🤣🤣) and I'm sure there will be parties for more recent decades too. Enjoy them.
I had the cassette for this album when it came out. It had lots of play time in the car. Didn't have cable TV at the time and don't remember this video. Damn glad to see it now. Wow! Glad I can relive this era on youtube, and much better on the big screen today than the old 15" crt.
This song is TOTALLY HOT!! It is THE PERFECT mix of R&B / POP / ADULT CONTEMPORARY and COUNTRY ALL IN ONE!! So sad that Alannah did not have more hits -- this song should get a 2018 DANCE REMIX VERSION!!
Was??? She's still alive, dude! Underrated??? Speak for yourself! I used to listen to her as a teenager on repeat, owning a copy of her album. Black Velvet was my teen moody hymn! LOL! I've even visited her in concert in Prague in the late 90's.
Oh man did that ever hit the spot tonight! Brings me back to 88 when I had no clue what love was... Still don't My favourite part is at 0:55 but really everything in this song perfect. The bassline can drive this song alone!
Superstar right here that was never given her dues. Alannah rocked the stage like no other female artist of her time and blows away performers of today by miles. It's a shame but there was so much great music and bands in the 80's that her talent never got the exposure and fame it truly deserved.
so catchy,what a stunning beauty,love the contrast of cherry red lips and her alabaster skin,and the smokey rasp in her voice..good lord she's got it all.
it's criminal that the views for this isn't in the MILLIONS! And she's got some wild eyes. The Rockstar version of Madonna :) Man she was way hot. This song rules too. loved this album
it's criminal that the views for this isn't in the MILLIONS! And she's got some wild eyes. im a new fan! the first song i listened of her's was black valvet

Yo compré el cassette de Alannah en 1990 sólo por esta canción. Me gustaba Black Velvet, pero cuando lanzó este single, me encantó y ella me terminó de convencer. Tremenda cantante. Aún conservo ese cassette.
We're has all this type of music gone like am I the only one who think the .................THE WORLD'S RAN OUT A TUNES AND NOTES I'M SURE YOU COULD NEVER MAKE THIS TYPE OF MUSIC AGAIN WOW I MISS YOU AND YOUR MUSIC GIRL!!
God, I was in love with her back in the day. I saw one of, if not, her very first performances where she opened for Bryan Adams in Revelstoke, BC. This song still rocks, I still reach for the volume every time it comes on the radio. Today's music is nothing like this.
im a new fan! the first song i listened of her's was black valvet Vocal delivery second to none. Literally stunning. wold rather listen to this any day over what's on the radio now
I worked as a disc jockey at 540 WDMW, an AM station in Pocomoke, MD in 1989-90 and would play Black Velvet every chance I got.....always loved this rocker!!!
The voice, the face, the body, the charisma... Alannah had it ALL.
So true..
Nope
She still does. Something's get better with time
And got tricked by her manager..
I love her! What happened to her?
I was 12 years old when I seen this chick in Ottawa it was my first outdoor concert , she blew my mind with her voice I knew right then and there I was gonna have an open mind for music. Alannah Myles you had me at "Show me"
Shes badass with that raspy voice. Gives me chills. Love her!❤
Exactly incredible voice.
Her voice is amazing!!!
the rasp does it for me.
One of the coolest and most unique songs of the 90s. Fantastic lyrics and great singer.
so true
@@katarinaspies5206The song and album came out in ‘89, but close enough.
This lady is SOOOOO underrated. Great talent!
That's exactly what I just said to myself. 100% ❤
She' not underrated
She's Allanah Myles, in a time of pop and rap and Metal
She came out with bluesey country, She literally did what no one else did and it shot her to super stardom
there is no way she is underrated
Black Velvet was one of the most played songs and was ALWAYS on video hits.
She's not underrated
@@martinkuliza Indeed but compared to many others at that time she can still be considered underrated.
@@deathhaschosenyou
unerrated... yes she can
Where’s she now?
This song has aged very, very well. I still reach for the volume when it comes on the radio.
it's criminal that the views for this isn't in the MILLIONS! And she's got some wild eyes.
Man she was way hot. This song rules too.
wold rather listen to this any day over what's on the radio now
True that
Alannah has so much energy !!! Canada shouldn't waste it's energy !!! Let's get a big Alannah TOUR going !!!
And Dalbello and guys too.....
If Im not misstaken she suffered an sccident that caused her problems.if it was falling of a horse maybe.
@@elisabetpurve2908 from what I understand she was seeing a chiropractor who had requested to see her more often than what is recommended and buggered up her neck or something
Love Alannah Myles. This is a great song. She's a beautiful and talented Canadian. As well as an underrated singer.
I agree...so gorgeous and definitely underrated!
the only problem is ...she will tell you how amazing she is ..i had a cousin play with her on stage ...i guess shes very ahhhhh kinda special .
Geoff Edwards o
won hung low really ?
the idea of a sexy and talented Canadian artist didn't seem to exist before Alannah !
A forgotten treasure, she is so damn good.....OMG
i had the pleasure of seeing Alannah perform live as opening performer for Robert Plant back in the 90's, she put on an awesome show
You lucky guy !!!
rumour has it that when ole Percy wrote "29 Palms" he had seksy Allanah on his mind... 😍🥰💓
@@udsmall7306 True!
She did have other good songs besides “black velvet” which she’s known for
Vocal delivery second to none. Literally stunning.
Agree 100%, the texture of her voice is completely unique. To me "Love in the Big Town" is one of the best rock songs ever produced. Her Rocking Horse album is pure perfection

Always loved this album, one of the best ever made in music history.
Yes.

Izzazzo Thats what I was thinking. Really different and a bit strange-but beautiful.
good way to describe them for sure. mystical.
It is now at least haha
Forgot about this song, thanks!!🎶🎶

I guess I didn't listen to enough radio play back in the '90s, because this woman could/can sing and deserved to be a star.. writing this in Jan '21
My Friend Bob played the guitar in this recording! Super proud of mah boy!!!!
This thing rocked when it came out way back when and it is STILL kicking it in 2016. Great song and artist.
2018 and still going
Vocal delivery second to none. Literally stunning.
Man she was way hot. This song rules too.
Alannah Myles - 100 % CANADIAN !!!
I am just addicted to this amazing song and voice 🥰
No abusive clothing, no twerk, no damn back dancers, absolutely gorgeous and perfect .... Pure art 😍 what a voice !
Real artists don t use “flesh”this is art 🖼 real music and still rocks
just pure art, hairspray, leather, red lipstick and dudes in snake print tights in the background
Well...the female rock singers don't need all that crap. That is only for the damn reggaeton/nowadays pop things
Wow. I wasn't expecting to see an attack on Cher, Madonna, and Tina Turner today.
What's abusive clothing?
Started dating my boyfriend which is now my husband when I first heard this song! Great music and great memories from the wonderful 90’s❤️❤️
Just love the crisp propulsive groove to this track.
+Chris Wright propels me forward today to do something !!
the jangly James Brown guitar line...twiny flanged bass.. yep, it's badass! Her band was tight- underrated guitarists! 🎸🤘🎤🇨🇦😍👍
I need to somehow make it my alarm tone!
That's my girl back then she had it all ..I.loved watching her moves just wonderful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I had the cassette for this album when it came out. It had lots of play time in the car. Didn't have cable TV at the time and don't remember this video. Damn glad to see it now. Wow! Glad I can relive this era on youtube, and much better on the big screen today than the old 15" crt.
This is why I say that we were born at the perfect time.
This song is TOTALLY HOT!! It is THE PERFECT mix of R&B / POP / ADULT CONTEMPORARY and COUNTRY ALL IN ONE!! So sad that Alannah did not have more hits -- this song should get a 2018 DANCE REMIX VERSION!!
This song is ROCK !!
Some kick ass guitar here, along with Alannah's great voice! Would love to see her singing again on tour!
I think she could sing anything and knock it out of the park. She has an AMAZING voice.
This is the woman I was named after and I love her. Way better than any other artist these days.
This song didn't get its due. My personal favorite from her.
Deborah Kerns Couldn’t agree more my friend
Me too
Spot on Deborah. Love her voice, great band, great arrangments...
Me too
Count me in too!
She was incredible!😍 Soo underrated!
Was??? She's still alive, dude! Underrated??? Speak for yourself! I used to listen to her as a teenager on repeat, owning a copy of her album. Black Velvet was my teen moody hymn! LOL! I've even visited her in concert in Prague in the late 90's.
@@MichelleVisageOnlyFans keep your hair on champ,you used to listen her but am still listen her
@@zaferdurukan8901 Touche!
The best! The energy level that comes from the gadget's screen is simply off the scale!
Remember this from back in the day in 1989 in Gisborne New Zealand. A garage party favourite.
Kia Ora buddy.
One of the best rock voices ever.
She was and still is a phenomenal singer
Love the backing singer saying "love is."
Vocal delivery second to none. Literally stunning.
One of the most delightful and unique songs of the 90s. Fantastic melody and great singing. Love it.
I love Alannah Myles!! i still listen to her music!!
What a voice... Great to listen even today.
SPECIALLY today !
Oh man did that ever hit the spot tonight! Brings me back to 88 when I had no clue what love was... Still don't
My favourite part is at 0:55 but really everything in this song perfect. The bassline can drive this song alone!
So Breathlessly Beautiful, Awesome Strut, Incredible Singer/Performer, Damn No Understand Why Another Label No Scoop Up You In A Flat Second!

100% true!
Hej
Agree a million times over! This is singing! Yes, its a bit yesterday, but with the endless lack of great music today, who cares!!?
Those were the best times
I just heard it on the radio :D
I lip-sang to this in a drag show several months ago. The crowd clapped in unison at the end. I loved it!!!
This materialized in my mind out of nowhere. So happy I found it. Not knowing all the lyrics was driving me nuts.
I kept hearing it on the radio and had to really search for awhile to find out what song this is
One of the best songs ever and I have heard a lot of music over my years.
This song got lots of airplay 89/90. My favorite of hers.
I love this song! the riff, the voice, the beauty..................
this woman needed more songs like black Velvet. Song that brought out the wild in her voice
@ R C I really love that griity sexiness in her voice you could say if Black Velvet could sing it would sound like her! 🤘
Happy Birthday Alannah Myles! 🥳🎊🎉🎈🎈🎁🎁🎂🎤🎧💍💎💐🌺🌸🌼🌹🌹🌹🌹🌷🌷🌷🌷
Truly a CANADIAN classic!!!!
Everything is amazing in this video
LOVE this song. Phenominal vocals, great band...been loving this since the 90's ❤️
Its an artist, not a band

Love Alannah still listening to her in 2021,allways a party favourite :)
Excellent ! j' étais à l' Armée , quand c' est sorti , j' adore cette musique !
Heard this song on the radio today stirred up some old memories when she played in Kelowna that raw voice
Claps like thunder!! 👊🤘 🔥
Rock with a little soul in the beat. They don't make 'em like this anymore.

"Talent not needed, as long as they can sell crap to the pre-teen brats."
Talent forbidden, even ...
No I think we have truly run out of nice cord progressions only so many notes go together they were all used up in the 70s
She did a show in chicoutimi (Saguenay) in 1989 I heard she was running and climbing everywhere ! She's the best !!!!
That guitar intro is killer!
God, I was in love with her back in the day. I saw one of, if not, her very first performances where she opened for Bryan Adams in Revelstoke, BC.
This song still rocks, I still reach for the volume every time it comes on the radio.
Today's music is nothing like this.
every straight Canadian guy between 20 and 25 was in love with her.
She is the definition of “skin white like snow, hair black as night , and lips red like the rose”😍 she would give Snow White a run for her money!
and eye blu as caraibi's water
❤ A Favourite Song 🎵 🎉 Thank you 🙏🏽 absolutely loved watching this again. 💃
Love is ,Alannah Miles ❤
My mom would blast this in her car when we would cruise around when i was 12-13. Grrl Power!!!
I love the colour grading of this video.

Great song. I've always loved this. My favourite by her.
Wow ! This woman's got it ALL . Love to see & hear Alannah perform . SUPERB
They played this the other day on the local oldies station. I remembered most of the words! :)
LOVE IS HEAVEN FOR THE LONELY ONLY ALANNAH COULD MAKE YOU FEELED LOVED W/ALL HER ENERGY!!!
Love this song, but just now noticed the gorgeous slinking, snarling tone of what sounds like brand-new strings on the bass that starts at 0:09!
I worked as a disc jockey at 540 WDMW, an AM station in Pocomoke, MD in 1989-90 and would play Black Velvet every chance I got.....always loved this rocker!!!
This song was my favourite, would always "rewind" my tape, to play it over n over again lol
Awesome never gonna get this in this era
