Toronto rocker / singer / songwriter / producer, Alannah Myles spent several years struggling unsuccessfully to secure a Canadian record deal so she and songwriting partner Christopher Ward set their sights south of the border. Myles recorded a demo and video for the song "Just One Kiss," with Canadian renown cinematographer, Deborah Samuel that got the attention of several US recording companies including Ahmet Ertegun, founder of Atlantic Records and along with top 40 hits she chose for her self-titled 1989 debut album. "Love Is" established her in her home country. Black Velvet and Lover Of Mine helped to make Alannah Myles the highest-selling debut recording artist in Canadian history, but it was the smoky, sensual "Black Velvet" that became a worldwide classic hit, reaching number one in the U.S. Myles thus far remains something of a one-hit wonder to most U.S. audiences. She released a follow-up album, Rockinghorse, in 1992 followed by 'Alannah' as her final Atlantic release in 1995 and 2 more independently recoded albums, A Rval and 85bpm.~
