The beauty about growing up in the 80s and early 90s was the fact that the music was so ubundant. You enjoyed listening to rock, rap, funk...it didn't matter.....you appreciated all genres. The talented bands that were coming out in droves in the 80s was something else. Damn I miss those times.

Elvis was a natural blonde but he believed he looked better with black hair and that dark haired performers lasted longer so he dyed his hair black. The color company changed the color of their black to black velvet in honor of him. My mom was a hairdresser in the 50’s and 60’s and it was a big deal.

This was about Elvis. Rock n Roll was the "new religion that would bring you to your knees" "Love me Tender leaves them crying in the aisles " Love Me Tender was Elvis' first movie and also the name of the song from the movie Elvis sang. "In a flash he was gone it happened so soon" some people say that is about when he went into the service but others think it's his untimely death at the young age of 42. I think it's his death. I've actually had arguements with a friend about that! Lol At any rate. This is a GREAT song that captures the Southern feel very well. And you are right, it is shocking it was her only hit, at least in the states! Great reaction!

Jimmy Rogers was supposedly Elvis' mother's favorite performer while Elvis was growing up. The first stanza of the lyrics (especially that he was born in Mississippi) describes his close relationship to his "Mama" which was the name of his first song. I've heard "if you please" was one of Elvis' catch phrases in his movies. I'm not a fan, so that may be correct. The clincher, was at the end of one of the music videos, Myles imitated Elvis' trademark smile in his movies.

Elvis wore black leather in that special. "Black Velvet" refers to all the cheesy portraits of Elvis, painted onto black velvet instead of white canvas. Las Vegas in particular was at one time known for black velvet paintings, not only of the King, but of big exotic cats and alluring half-naked women.
