Alannah Myles

Alannah Myles's achievements are anchored in the phenomenal success of "Black Velvet," which topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and earned her both a Grammy and a Juno Award in 1990. That single made her one of the few Canadian artists to achieve such international acclaim in the rock genre. Her induction into the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame in 2015 recognized her lasting contribution to the country's music scene. While she is often labeled a one-hit wonder, her career spans multiple albums and decades of touring, and her influence is evident in the continued covers of her signature song by contemporary artists.
