It's funny how a lot of the good songs that 24K belts out comes from one-hit-wonders. The hard part about it is that the song is so good that it's hard to top it with the next project. That's too bad because these people have a lot of talent and they could have turned more good songs. One such talent was Alannah Miles who came out in the late 80's. She will always be remembered for her tribute to Elvis Presley. That song, of course, is "Black Velvet".
I have to admit, this is one of those cool songs that you have to have a drink while listening to. Better yet, a good old fashoon saloon is the proper setting to enjoy this song. It's the type of song that you'd want to enjoy after a hard day at work. As expected, there are a lot of things that refer to Elvis like the names of his song, Graceland and so on, so forth. For some reason, this song takes a lot of weight of my shoulders when I hear it.
She remains active by touring and has also made other hit singles. Despite that, she will always be remembered for "Black Velvet" which will always be her trademark single. I've read somewhere on the internet that she's re-releasing this song. I hope that she can come up with another hit song like she did with this one. Well she's still out there and I hope she keeps active because she's as talented as she is beautiful. More power to her and may she keep on singing.
