"Lover Of Mine" by Alannah Myles

Canadian singer and songwriter Alannah Myles scored a chart-topping #1 smash in the US in 1989 with "Black Velvet," a bluesy rock song about the King. The song stayed at #1 for two weeks and earned Myles a Grammy for Rock Female Vocal. While she continued to score more hits in Canada, she only attained one other charting single in the US when "Love Is" reached #36 in 1990.

Her debut album could have been mined for so much more, including the ballad "Lover Of Mine." With its hair-raising vocal climax, you'd think this great song would have done well in the US.

While it did well elsewhere in the world, her sophomore record, the ambitious "Rockinghorse," flopped in the US, securing her an undeserved fate in this country as a one-hit wonder.
