Black Velvet… Forgive me if you all already knew, I just found out today the song is about Elvis.

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers 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

 

I did actually Ristac, Walking in Memphis is another good one by Marc Cohen.. Phil Lynott Kings Call is a good tune and he was a huge Elvis fan, although he was a scum supporter.

 

That calls for some blues metal

This is not Alannah Miles, surprisingly for me , its a cover version

 

This song was about Elvis too

 

@Irishshako Forgot to tell you about a musical I watched (twice) on my cruise. I normally hate them, but Mrs WJ loves them. Exceptionally, I loved this one too! Called 'Million Dollar Quartet', & I think you'll like it. Apols if you already know about it. It's based on a true story of one night when Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins & Johnny Cash all jammed with each other. Normally not my kind of music (I thought), but the PA system makes a huge difference. They all play & sing live. Stunning. If you haven't already seen it, hope you get to find it somewhere.

 

I've the LP of that session which I believe happened in Sam Philips Sun studios in Memphis where Elvis recorded a few songs for his mother. I've never seen or heard of a musical, but it sounds brilliant. Thanks for telling me.

 

That is truely awful, I got to about 30 seconds and gave up.
