i remember roller skating to this when i was a kid. always got me into trouble in the rink... i'd forget that i was on roller skates and try dancing. eyah... not pretty. but the song's still good. ;D
@@xMorbidArtx GTA may not be your cup of tea, but it's far from being a shit game, haha. Legit though, my favourite GTA game soundtrack-wise is Vice City. I knew half of the songs on there, but it also introduced me to a whole heap of awesome '80s songs that I had not heard of before, and all of a sudden I was searching for more classic tunes!
same. I was driving around, heard this song, just the title, paused the game and RU-vidd it. You find a lot of great music on the GTA radio stations. lol. It's not really a shit game unless you mean like morals or the lack thereof throughout lmao 🤣 otherwise it combines a lot of cool genres. I wish they'd hire a fashionista for the clothing stores, though. GTA 5 was pretty blah for that, I wanted to get Trevor a mohawk too like CJ in San Andreas, lol.
Lol luis, likes at 391k that puts the 13 k dislikers or should I say dishlickers in the straight jacket ,basket case section of society... going by percentages.
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell Jimmie Rodgers on the Victrola up high Mama's dancin' with a 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 schoolgirl "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
@Anaíl Villa I listened this song first time when I was playing GTA 5 Online, and I listened this song first time just I became interested in Los Santos Rock Radio (Before I liked the Radio X) and I liked it too much! And what? My father just knew it before!!
You bet , I give it few thousand “ thumbs up “ - my daughter plays GTA , yet she finds the old music annoying as heck . But it’s nice that they incorporate decent music into it instead of the “ ghastly, horrifying and hyper sexual “ music from the new generation of young people.
I knew this record from GTA 5, but I just came because it's so damn nice hearing a bluesy rhythm with such a smooth woman's voice like that, which isn't singing about a full-blown degrading lifestyle!
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.
@@leonmarshall8727 I know this song from Gta too, and I have that car too, is it the rare car that's not for sale anywhere? Have to find it on the map?
My father passed away 1/19/20. I was driving this afternoon and Black Velvet was on the radio. Made me smile and remember the road trips and weekend mornings. This song put a smile in my heart. I love you Dad!
He was probably sitting there ryt next to you enjoying the song like you did. Songs like these remind you of your loved ones and cherish those moments. My prayers are with you 🙏🙏
Condolences to you and your family. That was the date of my Dads funeral. He passed on on the 17th and we had his funeral two days later on the 19th. Miss him like crazy. Rest well Dad 🙏
You're Mama obviously had some great taste!! I'll bet she was an Elvis fan, too!! A lot of folks don't know that this song was about him... I'm so sorry for your loss, may she rest in peace.
I'm so sorry cause of u. My friend's mom died when we was nine, and he started to acting strange, coming to the school really early, and making fun of classes. I hate when teachers start to talk how he is dumb and lazy, cause he's horrible in school. It's just not fair! Teachers don't understand. Some students too. I hope it isn't same to u.
I am listening to it as I am typing this out. I have listed to this over the years of growing up in this world. Of only being young with my mom. Right now in 2017 to me I Can listen to this song at less 4 or 10 times in a moth and still think it's a new song lol.
That's very possible indeed..... I aways thought she was very beautiful back when I have hold her CD in my hand's for the frist time ever. In my books she is Awesome Singer ever since then. Her words...... her voice...... and how the sound of the music of listening through anything that you have at the moment. Listen to it in aways of putting yourself in awesome mood to start your day.! 👌
BLACK VELVET REPRESENTS THE ELVIS PIVTURES ON BLACK VELVET. ALOT OF THEM COME FROM MECICO .I HAVE TWO LARGE ONES AND AN 8 BY 10 MISSISSIPPI ELVIS JUNKIE LB I
@@TheLittleRedVixen I got no vote but reckon why this girl didn't really make the big time? 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. Most of them gone but their damage was done. Never interacted with this young lady but was around her at several events. Seemed like nice person. Maybe that was the problem. L8r.
@@bourbon5983 Yep, good one also. I have a pornographic memory and it's in the top 50 of soft/music video porn probly. I'll have to run a systems check......yep, it's in there.
I gave up playing bass guitar in bands 15 years ago - just got sick of doing the gigs. But every now and than I hear a blast from the past that makes me ache to play again, and this is one of them. That voice, that groove, as good as it gets!
John Diamond sorry John.1979..I really was sitting at the bar sipping a velvet and coke staring at the man I KNEW I was gonna marry.And I did......5 months later.

Pulling a recording session like this together must have been a huge task. The outcome yields such a smooth reward to us, the general public, we almost didn't notice due to the fantastic song writing. Likely some of the best musicians in the world at that time. It plays on the radio and nobody really notices because there are no flaws
+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 :)
People used to make fun of me when I listened to this song over and over. So tell me, is there something wrong with this song? Absolutely nothing - The bass guitar and the arrangement and obviously her voice fits together so perfectly. Still up to today, this is one of my all time favourites and will always be.
@@nickriffed9775 I have my doubts about it. It's not impossible, but what makes you think so? It does sound like a bass, you can even hear the noise of strings being stopped on the 2 & 4.
@@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]

SMALL CHRISTIAN CHUNGUS I never got why people have to bash new music every time they visit old. Do they want to seem older, more intelligent or just quirky
Whenever this song comes on I break into choreography thats 80% touching myself and 20% writhing on the floor in manner that is probably only sexy in my head, and in reality looks more akin to someone having a stroke.
This song was playing the night I kissed my future wife for the first time. 3 years later, we married, and guess what song we did our first dance to. That was 22 years ago. It was magical then, and it still is now.
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR WEDDING ANIVERSARY BEING MARRIED THAT LONG.. DON'T THINK I WOULD EVER HAVE THE GAUL TO ASK A WOMAN TO SPEND HER ENTIRE LIFE WITH ME 😠🙄😤🤬👎👎..!!
This song is legit my favorite from that era. I’m only 34 but gives me so many nostalgic memories of my mom playing it whilst growing up. Never gets old! ❤
I'm 38 and when I was just little I mean like 5 maybe I can remember this song comming out and running to the tv and singing my little heart away everytime it came on. Here I am an adult and STILL jam everytime I play it. Brings memories of my childhood for sure. . My parents would get me to sing in frnt of everyone cause noone could believe I knew it all at that age hahaha crazy

I remember in 1989 I was crossing the bridge into Memphis on I-40 heading to N.Carolina and this song came on! The sun was setting and WOW! What a great moment! Black Velvet if you please! 29 and never thought about getting old!
@Samuel L Shaulis Yeah, she was a little high maintenance but she was always sweet to me. One day she asked me what was new and I told I was getting braces and her response was "Now you'll be perfect!"
Its easy to neglect the beauty that this song due to its frequent air play, but if you listen to it like it is the first time, you can only go 'WOOOW, rock on girl'. Such talent. Glad that his was a soundtrack to my life in 1990.
He definitely would. I never like speaking for others, but, IMO, he would love it. Wondering if Lisa and Priscilla have heard it. I would guess a yes, winning that Grammy and all.
Smokey, sultry, sexy, soulful, and Southern. Perfect song when your drivin' down the freeway late at night with the moonroof open and the windows down. Wind blowin' thru your hair.
This girl owns this song, wow!!! May be a one hit wonder but it's a fucking masterpeice,damn none on this planet or any other could rock this song the way she did
one hit wonder? The entire self titled1989 album was fire. Love is, Kickstart My Heart, Just One Kiss, Still Got This Thing For You. Give it a listen. It's a shame most people only know this song lol. Her music didn't track because she got fucked over by toronto music producers and they didnt send her to tour in the US with the big rock bands at the time.
One hit wonder, and what a pity. She has everything: voice, looks, talent, stage presence...She should have become a 10000 wonders. What happened to her? May the label records at that time decided to stop investing in blues and the girl didn't want to ghange her style??

Sara Horton, I don't comment, you really melted my heart. Beautiful words always touch my heart. Since I am blind, light hurts me, so I listen in the darkness. Although in the dark, Someone helps me. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful thing you did.

I'm sure you think you're cool when you "accidentally" play this song around guest...I bet you're like I hope they hear that bass line its so cool...then you roll up ur sleeves and look around like your tuff 😂😂
Its just that "Treble " picking near the pickup is just so cool..I blew out some subs in a club when they upgraded a amp with way too much power for the speakers when I played this song :-;)
Even the way she performed this was the most perfect way to do it. The passion in the face, The body movements to the beat. Just WOW, I was born in 1999 and will be carrying this music to my kids like my family did.
8 Elvis Presley Facts So Crazy You Might Not Believe Them Elvis Never Wrote a Single Song Elvis recorded more than 600 songs in his music career but did not write a single song (impossible to confirm, but he was given co-writing credit on many songs because his label demanded songwriters give up 50% of the credit before Presley would record it).
Plenty of pure talent these days, just because you're too lazy to get out of your nostalgia coma and find it doesn't mean it isn't there. And there was plenty of shite in the 80s as well.
Typical - people trying to map the world for others. Free will means we get to have our own choices and opinions. I await the standard "you're a ____" reply.
Una de las mejores cantantes de los 80 ❤ la década de oro de la música internacional 😊 hubiera sido una voz inigualable para un grupo de hard rock o heavy metal 👹🤘😈🤘🧛🤘🌹
