The song that helped her rise to notoriety was "Black Velvet." It is a song with an interesting history. It was written by a Canadian after visiting the USA and got to know the legend that still lives today in Memphis, namely Elvis Presley.
Black Velvet canvases were used to capture Elvis for his fans. An interesting parody is that "Black Velvet" is also an 8-year-old oak barrel mellowed Canadian Whiskey owned by Heaven Hill and produced in the Black Velvet Distillery in Lethbridge, Alberta
It is a powerful song for at least three female artists. It helped move their careers forward. The third singer is Robin Lee.
I am quite sure Nikki McKibbin will be missed by many people. Sympathy to her family and friends.
