Alannah Myles – Black Velvet
Alannah Myles – Black Velvet (1990)
Directed by: Doug Freel
A sultry, blues-rock power ballad from her 1989 debut album, “Black Velvet” centers on Elvis Presley-inspired imagery and Myles’ smoky, soulful delivery. The official music video—filmed partly on her family ranch in Ontario and directed by Doug Freel—features evocative visuals of Myles singing on a log cabin porch interspersed with concert clips, reinforcing the song’s rustic authenticity. It became a global hit, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and earned her a Grammy and Juno Award.
