The song "Black Velvet" from Alannah Myles's debut album became a worldwide hit in 1990 and it even won her a Grammy award. By that time, the 32 year old Alannah had already been a songwriter for 23 years! She has since then released four more albums and even competed in Melodifestivalen (Sweden's version of the Eurovision Song Contest) in 2005. In July 2011 Alannah said that after several chiropractic treatments she has suffered from severe spinal nerve damage and is now unable to move her head and neck. But she still does performances and records songs in the studio.
The boy could sing, knew how to move everything
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring her to your knees
~Black velvet if you please~
