It’s a motherfriggin CRIME that a vocalist this talented didn’t achieve more fame. Just listen to that raspiness, that sultriness, the way she holds a note so softly and switches from one note to the other so effortlessly...so, so skillful.

Worked personal security for some of Nashville royalty and there was always talk, that I really can't repeat exactly, about the "powers" in Nashville and music in general, that decided who was in and who was out. Talent wasn't the prime driver of who that might be. Met some of em....I wasn't even looked at. Invisible. Kinda way it was supposed to be but there are ways of bein ignored that are more disrespectful. My life and living had nothing to do with them and....ah, nevermind.

She has a GRAMMY, two JUNOS, nominations for 17 other major music awards, and this song was #1 on Billboard. The album went platinum in almost every market around the world, triple platinum in Australia, and diamond in Canada... Now, tell me, how exactly is that "underrated"? Cheers!

I was referring to the song itself not the artist or the album. How many people would name this song in their top favourites. That is the point I was making. But having condescending replies like yours makes reading comments such a joy. Please don't reply . Cheers !!!!!

[@SandcastleTheory]

@@no-oneman.4140 Apologies, if I upset you. That was not my intention. Much in the way of tone gets lost in text. My point (if only for posterity) was simply that, evidently, it was a favourite song for millions of people; and, presumably, still is. No higher standards could it have possibly met. I'm not trying to take away your love for the song, or patronize you. Not at all. I'm just saying, underrated it is not, and never was. The use of that word in general, these days, is rampant and frustrating. Whatever might be trending on modern social media, at any given moment, does not reflect the greater state of music, artists, or their fans. Cheers!

[@nickriffed9775]

@@TobiaTesan you can have as many doubts as you like, my friend, but it doesn't alter the facts. One aspect of the song listeners have frequently noted is the tune's distinctive fretless bassline. While a common belief holds that the melody was played using an actual fretless bass guitar, Myles' bassist for the rest of her self-titled album, Steve Webster, acknowledged in an online discussion forum that he did not perform the bassline on "Black Velvet" himself; rather, it was Tyson who played the riff on a synthesizer, using a fretless bass sample.[7]

Indeed. She's really underrated singer.

[@stevengregory1671]

She does have a really really good voice

[@nanciebuckley6332]

She had all kinds of hits in Canada, the US radio stations/ music industry wouldn't pick her up coz she wouldn't play their industry games and that's how things work in the music industry in America

[@arliewayne1]

This song was nominated for a grammy in 1992, I think. It was the same year that Mariah Carey debuted her song. Don’t remember it, but .Mariah won the grammy. I always thought Allanah was a much better singer!

[@GholaTleilaxu]

+DiamondPR0DIGY Quoting from Wikipedia: "Black Velvet became a number one hit for two weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in 1990 and reached number one on the Album Rock Tracks chart, as well as number one in Canada and number two on the UK Singles Chart. Myles won the 1990 Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocalist for the song. Since its release, the song has received substantial airplay, receiving a "Millionaire Award" from ASCAP in 2005 for more than four million radio plays." Underrated indeed :)

[@asioczek7]

Explain, thanks

[@davidbentley4417]

asioczek7 Elvis was born in Mississippi in a dry spell he knew how to dance and sing so he went to Memphis where his songs made the girls go wild. that’s what I gathered in reading the lyrics

[@beatnikrn2945]

David Bently: true, but his parents moved to the outskirts of Memphis when he was young. They were poor and lived on the other side of the tracks so he grey up around blues singers. They taught him. Even his “look” fake from the store in Memphis where the blues legends bought their clothes. Blue suede shoes, long collar, etc. He didn’t go to Memphis for or after fame, he came from it. He was surrounded by Gospel and Blues. So when some people say he “stole” the R&R sound, the truth is he was part of it. They welcomed him in and taught him blues. But his singing style was all his own!

Unfortunately she has very severe back problems and is almost a cripple. Real shame as she was a sensational artist and extremely attractive as well.
