It's Alannah Myles. Released in 1989, this song is about Elvis Presley.
Robin Lee recorded a popular cover of this song on her 1990 album, which was also titled Black Velvet. Another notable cover of the song was performed by Crystal Bowersox, who sang it as a contestant on season 9 of American Idol, where she finished in second place.
This was a Canadian production: the song was written by Canadian musicians David Tyson and Christopher Ward, and Myles is from Toronto. Myles won a Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Performance for this song, along with several Juno Awards.
