Dude, your reaction couldn't be more perfect on this one. Perfect mix of humor and drama rolled into one. I really enjoyed this. smash the likes, people!
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦. Beautiful voice, Canadian singer all about Elvis. The hair dye he used was called Black Velvet, and there were thousands of portraits of him painted on black velvet backgrounds.
And she mentions his song “Love Me Tender” making the girls cry. They went nuts over Elvis! New religion was the ushering in of Rock N Roll. Great song! 💜
The people saying it is about Elvis are correct.But,according to Alannah,the "velvet" part refers to the smoothness of his voice,not the paintings or his clothing.
I always though of his dark hair, and that sly, smirky smile... just his whole presence... the package was absolutely perfect for the time... and there will never be another like him... I am so glad I was alive to witness him.
Great song. The song is about Elvis Presley in the 50's becoming the biggest star in rock and roll at the time. The reference to black velvet is that in the south there were a lot of paintings of Elvis Presley done on black velvet. As a matter of fact, black velvet paintings are very popular still down south.
Yeah, it's about the life of Elvis Presley. He was born in Mississippi, went to Memphis. Love Me Tender was a movie he was in, and girls were crazy about him.
Song is about Elvis Presley. It uses to be popular to have a painting of Elvis on a stretched black velvet. The whole song gives clues about the life of Elvis. He was born in Tupelo Mississippi.
I sold her a leather jacket when I worked at a clothing store in south western Ontario. A very nice person, and I still have the little note she gave me for my service, because I didn't make a big fuss over her, she said she really appreciated it..
I didn't know this song was about Elvis, that she is Canadian and I def didn't expect to see S.W. Ontario in the comments. Was that in the store in White Oaks Mall? Near where they do the Santa picture set?
In the 70’s Elvis was so famous every where you went there were paintings of him on a black velvet background for sale. They were in gas stations, on the side of the road, every where & always painted on a black velvet background so they would pop with a black light which was also popular at the time. Rock and Roll was the new religion and Elvis was every school girl’s dream
This song always gives me chills and I'm not even a huge Elvis fan, just the way she sings it with such passion... I will never understand why she didn't have more hits. She had the talent and damn she had the voice.
Elvis Presley was a King in his own right. He broke boundaries and nearly everyone loved, and respected him. Especially since a whole song was written about how amazing he was.
If I recall correctly, while this version was on the the charts there was another version by a country artist on the charts at the same time. Just a great song.
@@daveenglish2358 I was a Montreal 14th years old teenager riding his bike to go to work with my Walkman in the streets listening that whole album in cassettes.
This song won at the Junos(music awards) in Canada. Apparantly it was written in homage to Elvis Presley. Alannah had an awesome rockin' voice. thx for sharing Mr. Video!
Everything about this song has Elvis written ALL over it. Lyrics in my opinion are brilliant. • lyrics like...The boy could sing, he could move, everything...FACT! •Love Me Tender, leaves them crying in the isles. Love Me Tender was Elvis’s 1st movie. & he was gone to soon. Elvis was only 42 when he passed away.
Aw yes, great reaction! The song is about Elvis... One of the writers, Christopher Ward was inspired to write this song , he became fascinated with the loyalty and fanaticism of Elvis’ fan base. Many references to Elvis... such as 'Leave me Tender'!!!
Speaking of Elvis... I would like to see you react to more of his songs. Kentucky Rain is my all time favorite. You have to keep introducing your subscribers to the great classics. I guarantee you will ❤️ the song. Thank you for passing the greats along to another generation!
About Elvis. His smile, from the South, the adoration of fans all other the world (new religion), and his portrait was often depicted on black velvet. This was Alannah's biggest hit. Story has it that Alannah and Robert Plant had a relationship and that he wrote the song 29 Palms about her.
Aw, memories of high school... that's when this song came out, and it wasn't unusual for anyone to have a crush on Alannah Miles at the time. Yes, even women loved her off! 🤩🇨🇦
I saw her live when she was the opening act for Robert Plant on one of his tours, right after this was a hit. She sounded great. And when I was a kid I saw Elvis live twice, in '72 & '73. He looked & sounded beautiful. The talent & charisma were real. I love this song because it's about that special magic he had.💙🌿💚
A Canadian Icon The meaning of the song is about Elvis Presley and he was always painted on Black Velvet. Shouts out from Nelly in Toronto Ontario Peace and Love Man
Alannah Myles. Another Canadian Queen. Others of her songs to listen to: Lover Of Mine, Song Instead Of A Kiss, Love Is, Sonny Say You Will. (The last one, I don't think has a video, just audio, but it's a great little song that I love and it makes me smile everytime.)
A real impactful artist- and a good choice of friends... touring this song, Alannah hooked up with Robert Plant, of Led Zeppelin, after Bonzo passed (R.i.P.) touring with Robbie Blunt on guitar... boy, if they had had kids!! She's from my province- Ontario. Greetings from about 150 miles away, man- be safe.

I have one for you to review.. you must wear ear earphones . The band is called Home Free, and the song is called "Man of constant sorrow". You must watch the official video get ready to get your socks blown off
Yeap about my man Elvis! Great song and she has a great smooth voice too. More Elvis reactions!! maybe something from his '68 come back special for something different. ;)

Thank you - for making me remember her
Thank you soo much for covering this song. It was my favorite growing up and boy does it bring back memories!
And she mentions his song “Love Me Tender” making the girls cry. They went nuts over Elvis! New religion was the ushering in of Rock N Roll. Great song! 💜
Yes Elvis.
well said
And she sang "a new southern style."
Reading the comments and I NEVER knew this song was about Elvis! How cool!!
A first for me too. Learn something new everyday
Me too! Always loved the Song but never researched it!!
Love this song
Old song, but one of my favorites. She has such a sultry voice. Elvis would be honored if he knew the sang about him ❤😙❤
About Elvis Presley in the fifties ... new music, new star, soft southern boy.
Yup
Okay I never knew that. The lyrics take on a whole new level now.
Always loved the song. I never knew it was about Elvis. Pretty cool.
Yes, the whole 'black velvet' thing is because of the famous Elvis on Black Velvet paintings that you can get everywhere back in the day.
Never gave it much thought. Damn...
Love this song by beautiful Allanah Miles . She is singing about Elvis !
Finally someone is doing this songs . It’s about Elvis and her voice is amazing!!!
I've always loved this song. I'm an Elvis fan so I knew when this song came out it was about him. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

@@chrishowls7545 Actually, she didn't write it.It was written by a man.

I once heard a chic say his singing voice was like warm honey. Rich, sweet & it flowed all over you
I heard about his dyed black hair? Many different opinions I see?
Yes,there are a lot of stories,but I heard this from her,in an interview.

It's about a Elvis, they used to sell his portrait on black velvet canvases that were a trend at the time. Great song!
She has said it's about his black velvet voice, not black canvass.
They’ll never be another Elvis. He brought a lot of girls to their knees. He was gorgeous & could sing anything.
Elvis Presley was a King in his own right. He broke boundaries and nearly everyone loved, and respected him. Especially since a whole song was written about how amazing he was.
It’s about Elvis Presley, his singing style, & his effect on his fans. 😍
One of the best tribute songs to e
Elvis, so there has been many this is definitely among my favorites
Could you name a couple of others...just out of curiosity. Many thanks! ☺
@@lynne5322 The King is Gone, I think Merl Haggard devoted a whole album. To name a couple off the top of my head.

Love this song and love that it’s about Elvis, loved your reaction as well! PLEASE try JEWEL, WHO WILL SAVE YOUR SOUL, her voice is amazing too!😁💚💚
She's so "southern" she's from Canada. Big hit in the 90's.

That's a great song. It's still on my Playlist of best songs.

Aside from Elvis references, Black Velvet is a brand of Canadian whisky that goes down smooth.
I see Elvis first but the drink a second..
I have a male line ancestral affinity for that whisky so I'm reminded of it as well every time.🤠
Yes it does 👍
It's also the name for mixing Guinness with Dry Cider {Strongbow works best}.
I always called those black and tan, or maybe that's just if the bottom half is an ale.
Another damn good reaction Leo 😂🤣😂🤣😉😎👌 thank you Leo

"Black Velvet" lyrics -
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
Mama's dancin' with 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 school girl
"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
