Known for her sexy 1990 Billboard #1 smash hit
Black Velvet, international Grammy award winning
recording artist Alannah Myles fanned flames in
the embers of women's hearts with her country
soul metaphor on Elvis. Myles easily recaptures
the fire of her original song in her now
re-recorded and updated version of the
masterpiece hit about the man who moved nearly
every woman in his path to her knees. Who could
forget those famous lyrics? "Black velvet and
that little boy smile/Black velvet with that
slow southern style/A new religion that'll bring
you to your knees/Black velvet... if you
please..." Winning a Grammy award for best
female rock performance for the Black Velvet
track off her 1989 self-titled album, the work
bore four Top 40 hits for this rock queen.
Myles' re-recorded Black Velvet 2007 along with
two other songs from the album - Only Wings, and
Faces in the Crowd - are being released August
14, 2007 as a digital EP exclusively on iTunes
in a tribute to Elvis on the 30th anniversary of
his passing August 16, 1977.
