Tracy Chapman proving that when you have talent you don't need the trashy clothes, the heavy makeup or all those dancers on stage with you. Her performance was pure class.
So right.
Plus she’s a lesbian and many of them are not into that anyway 😅
So true. I hate the way singers are now
You don’t to show you’re talent with T & A & safety pins - Tracy was the best thing on the show - she was just real & didn’t need anything else & I admire that!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Luke was successful because he didn't butcher the lyrics when he remade the song. Chapman was honored .
I was sold on him when he didn't even change the gender of the protagonist like most male singers would do with a song written by a woman. Real class. He clearly reveres Tracy.
...or because he is 33.
luke was honored. get it right. she has 3 grammys for that song
@@edwardwhite221 I think the poster was meaning that; Luke Honored Tracy through how he Cut/Released the song..... Cause he didn't change anything about it..... And I do agree that Luke felt honored to perform it with Tracy.....
Luke Combs and Tracy Chapman = the two most normal people at the Grammys. This is my America and I love it. 💚
Well said!!!
I honestly thought it was super corny. It seemed so forced and uncomfortable. Plus they had them standing like they were social distancing. It just seemed so weird.
@@chrisgullett4332 we can agree to disagree . To me it was the ONLY **real** thing in the Grammys. 🥰
@@rosemaryalles6043 It was literally the fakest thing. Again, it came off as super weird. There were literally production members that were calling him racist for covering her song, calling it racist that his cover went number one and her original version did not, so it is easy to understand why it came off as weird. To me and yes lots of others it came off as corny, and uncomfortable to watch. I am a fan of Tracy, but his duet was comical.
@@chrisgullett4332 Not to me it wasn't - it was American, beautiful and a moment. Millions of others felt the same.
We need many more millions of moments like this one. Healing moments.
So, let's agree to disagree.
Also, not everything is about race - I think we can agree on that. We are human before we are white, black or brown.
You didn't like it. I did.
Have a good one.
The wonderful thing was that Luke Combs introduced a great song to a whole new generation.
Proving kids today were not raised proper. This song should be known....next you will tell me you haven't heard the song Eyes of the World
@@JustOneOpinion- Tracy Chapman's body of work should be known. Period.
and I'm sure TRACY is smiling all the way back to the bank...again!!
@@JustOneOpinion never heard of it...🤣
@ASMRFoodieEats wtf you Talking?!? One Hit Wonder? Go do your homework. You know Nothing bout her music.
Whitney Houston took Dolly Parton's song "I will always love you" and sent it mega high on the charts in the 90's. It was a beautiful thing. Only lunatics would have said that was a slight to Dolly Parton.
That's a great example. People focus on stupid things instead of something that brings people together.
I can’t recall anyone thinking that Whitney Houston singing that song was a slight to Dolly! She made the song perfect. She probably ruined it for anyone else daring to sing it! Whitney had the best voice ever! Today everything is turned into a political agenda!
Yes , I loved Whitney version better tho I adore Dolly .
@@jaylenjackson69 who is perfect, so what if she had a stumbling block. She was talented singer , song writer. , actress and a good person who did good things for people she loved.
No, she didn’t take it. Dolly got paid. There’s a huge difference. Kind of like Kanye has to paying for the rest of his life. You don’t just rip off a song and not get paid. There is an agreement there with money
As an African I hate how the America media tries to divide us. Luke combs paid tribute to one of the artists that inspired him to be a musician. ..doesn't matter race creed color or sexual orientation she was an inspiration to him and that was his way of saying thank you. Plus Luke is making her money every time he sings she gets writes and publishing right after 30ys later now that's some great residual income.
I hate it. These American liberals are crazy!
Yes it is considering the music industry (not the Grammys) screwed her around back then.
Thank you for pointing out the truth….
I saw somewhere that she has made something like an addition $500,000 off of rotlyalties from that song since he launched it back to #1
Amen... The government and the media fuels all this. The only way to destroy America is from the inside, if they keep us fighting and hating one another we are to busy to see what they are doing. Divide and conquer we need to remember the government is supposed to work for us not the other way around, we are all in this together and if we don't come together and remember that this country won't be great for much longer
Watching him unable to take his eyes off of her, clearly in complete awe that he was on stage with her, was one of the most beautiful sights I've seen in a very long time. It had me in tears.
I agree it was awesome. Go watch Chris and Morgan Stapleton bringing Patty loveless on stage with them, both Chris and Morgan look at Patty that way, just total admiration
& the way he was singing along with her when it wasn't his part 😊
@@garysu1884 👍👍👍👍👍
That collaboration brings tears to my eyes. So talented and such respect.
You're dead right @frank... I'm here in Australia pretty much in tears watching a magnificent memory of the year my son was born. I can't believe how great Tracy still sings and plays. As for Luke, man he sang with her like he was Tracy's right arm. Absolutely backed her up in the true version of "Fast Car". No fancy-nancy backing vocals. Just sing'n!
Ms. Chapman looked radiant. Love that in Luke's cover he kept the lyric "I was a checkout girl."
Their agreement was he couldn’t change any words! So he had to sing it exactly as it was
He did it in the Grammy's presentatiion as well. In that interleaving with Tracy, the "check-out girl" part was sung by him.
@@salmaapatelhonestly, I don't brlieve he would change this part of lyrics if he could.
Tracy Chapman Performs "Fast Car" with Luke Combs the Best Rare Live Performance - No flash -No designer clothes - just Raw Talent🙏
Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs doing that duet was incredibly powerful, so beautiful for so many reasons. It would be awesome to release that version of their duet for downloads and sales as a fundraiser for some charity, it would raise an absolute ton of money.
Yes !! And they should get a Grammy for that performance next year !! 🏆
I love that Luke Combs covered Tracy Chapman's Fast Car. Not only did he introduce this beautifully written song
to a whole new generation but, he also introduced the song to a different region of the country.
The reason that song became #1 on the Country Charts is the themes in that song are universal ; economic struggles,
Abandonment, Alcoholism,& longing to escape to a better life. Since Tracy Chapman is not only the songwriter she also owns the publishing rights.
So Luke Combs recording is not only making her a lot of money ; she just made history by winning a CMA 4 song of the year
I've always loved this song & when I heard Luke Combs rendition it was perfect not over done ,he allowed her words
to tell this sad yet beautiful story.
Why didnt it hit the top of the country charts with Chapman?
They had 35years...
Riddle me that
@@Ace-gi4bp Ummm it wasn't released as a country song, that's no riddle. What is the matter with you? When Tracy Chapman released it back in 88, the song was at the top 6 on the Billboard charts of her music genre. Riddle me why you are throwing out ridiculous negativity? This was a beautiful moment for her. I wept throughout the performance, seeing the tears in her own eyes at the recognition and appreciation she felt. I bet you are super fun at parties. What a downer you are. Good luck with that victimhood. Its beginning to fall on deaf ears, and is really quite blasé in 2024.
Well said
Tracy still has an amazing voice.
And she looks fabulous.
I love her smile and those dimples.
Luke Combs said his father used to play this song and he had always loved it. He remade it exactly as it was - didn’t change anything. The way the left (WaPo) reacted was outrageous and obnoxious and infuriating. Two people from different worlds coming together in mutual respect with this song. It was awesome and inspiring.
Below is from the Washington Post. They called their performance the highlight of the night. You have no idea what leftists think, feel, or know. Get over yourself. Everyone loved it. Apparently, you weren't listening to their wonderful performance. Instead, you were digging around to say something unkind and obnoxious. How sad that you heard the song but missed the moment. It was very moving. And it was performed by 2 of the sweetest people ever to grace a stage.
"Luke Combs has always said that Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” is one of his favorite songs of all time, which is why he decided to cover it - he had no idea it would become one of his biggest hits. As the camera focused on Chapman (who rarely performs in public) during her duet with Combs, the audience cheered wildly. You could feel the glee radiating off Combs as he stared at Chapman in awe as they sang; Chapman strummed her guitar, looking happy and serene. The collaboration resulted in a huge standing ovation."
You’re stirring up the same mess. A few race baiters doesn’t mean the left was mad. And a few racists who left insulting messages about her doesn’t mean the right was mad. When either side highlights the worst of other side we end up in these stupid culture wars. I’m listening to her first album right now, it’s incredibly soul soothing and a reminder that we are more similar than different
Not really from two different worlds as both can relate to the song.
@lilibetmargaret I'm so glad you left this comment. I was going to ask them and Megan where their proof is that the left said that. Who? Notice they don't give names
This should have been way more publicized than it was. Two amazing performers coming together and proving that there is so much good in the world.
I was so shocked too see Tracy I stood up and it made me weep what a moment. From Melbourne Australia
Wow! From Melbourne? Awesome. You guys gave us Olivia Newton John and full disclosure she was my 1st fan crush the summer of my 15 yrs of life when the movie Grease came out. I thought OMG she such a beautiful human being who happens to be uberly talented. I was just smitten.
Ditto. Can’t stop watching it 💖 Melbourne too
Tracy is fantastic. Luke's cover of Fast Car is outstanding.
My favorite part was the look on Tracy's face at the beginning. Joy, gratitude, humbleness ... things painfully missing from the music industry these days!
One of the most beautifully produced songs.
36 year later and it has never lost it’s power to stop you from what you are doing and to make you listen.👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
ALL Tracy!😊
I cried like a baby but what you’re not realizing it was a moment to show that we can all get along!
God bless them both!
I will watch this a thousand times.
❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
I CANNOT SAY THANK YOU TO THEM ENOUGH.
I love the way Luke kinda backs off and gives her the spotlight.
Yup! He was wonderfully in awe of being able to sing with a person he truly admired. He was "girl-fanning" in the sweetest manner.
Tracy Chapman has an angelic voice. So soothing!
Toby Keith...RIP
He will be sorely missed.
Gutted 💔
What does Toby Keith have to do with this video. Nothing.
@@lorettayoung3088 I love Luke Combs and Tracy Chapman. I just hate that my all time favorite Toby is dead too.
Toby was a racist..
Tracy and Luke showed respect and appreciation of each other.
Tracy Chapman the BEST!! Bravo to her & Luke 💯💯💯❤️❤️
Complete LOVE for Tracy❤ she is a legend. She was in Chile 1990 alongside Sting, Peter Gabriel, Sinead O'Connor, for the amnesty international concert and she sang Fast Car. Luke has a great voice, beautiful performance.
When Tracy's song, " Give me one reason to stay here" came on the radio back in the day and I started to sing it my 11 year old son laughed at me! Tracy's good, glad her big hit was resurrected.
That song is ❤🔥. Full disclosure, I played it like 11 times yesterday on You Tube. I did a search for Tracey Chapman reaction videos.
Love how respectful Luke is to Tracy.
Watched and I cried hard for at least 5 minutes straight. This song took me back to my younger years. Just made me reflect on my life--the good and the bad. The accomplished. The unaccomplished. The highs--the lows. The regrets. The hope that tomorrow will be better. I'm crying again as I type this. This song. Damn.
That was one of the nicest performances I have ever seen on the Grammys. It was so sweet to see them singing that great song together. It was absolutely Priceless!
The best moment of the Grammys, Tracy Chapman and Luke nailed that moment!
Tracy Chapman was Amazing!!! Loved her entire album. Luke did an incredible job with the song! I loved them together!
Tracy Chapman won 3 Grammys for that song/album in 1989 it was in Top 10 in UK and Top 5 in US
Tracy's smile in the beginning is the most humble proud smile that makes me happy to be alive. Thank you God for moments like that smile it feels like love
Sage is gorgeous ❤ Tracy and Luke killed it
I’ve always been a Tracy Chapman fan! Love her songs
I watched this performance live and it was dynamite 🧨 It was great to see Tracy again singing this tune, but I didn’t know Luke and what a great singer he was. I’m now a fan of his, too! What a special moment for everyone with this standout performance. Thank you for reviewing this performance, guys!!!
I've always loved that song. It came out when I was in a High School and I remember blasting it in my car. I still love it.
I was fortunate enough to see her live in 1988. I worked in the music industry from 83 to 96 and it really is like a religious experience to be in live music, surrounded by live music, and I am happy to say, I was paid to be there.
I am so jealous. Wow. That had to be other worldly. Wow.
Wow, that was a journey to heaven you had been. I can't just imagine, the late 80s-90s music was such an explosion of diverse talents from all over. Wow. ❤
@@imhereforitall9218 I was working in the music industry and during Tracy Chapman I asked for that time to be off. It was 1988 so I wore (someone’s) pager just in case I needed to return, I was left alone during her set. Some things money cannot buy
@@delbee718 I did purchase the cassette (before a CD 💿 player) and just bought Fast Car on iTunes when I found out she just got #1 with the Grammy performance. She’s soooo well deserved
1:25 "One of the most popular songs in the country..." This song was one of the most popular songs in the world back then. It played non-stop on the radio in my country Brazil and still plays a lot.
I didn't catch the Grammys but I heard that Tracy and Luke had been on and I chased their performance down. I am age 70, the song was a big favorite of mine when it came out. All the things you are saying in the above are a precious part of the story; with so many others weighing in too.
That beautiful smile…..wow, such a touching performance.❤
It was so beautiful. I can’t get enough of it!
The way Luke respects the song, the melody, and Tracy it's a joy with her voice! Beautiful moment!
Best Of The Night I Agree ❤️🙏🇺🇸
I have always loved that song! And her. Is it just me or does her voice sound even more fantastic than in 1989?
❤ Beautiful Beautiful Moment. Said well.. Bring back that America 🙏🇺🇲
What a perfect duet of a classic!
Definitely gives me chills and tears. Just beautiful!
I remember hearing Tracy Chapman on the radio and I needed to buy her album. I was surprised to see her picture on the cover. Of course I bought it!
Their voices blended so beautifully together. It was just brilliant. Regards from Ireland 🇮🇪 💚
She's COLOREDS
🤣🤣🤣🤣What is coloreds? @@thewatchmen4920
@@thewatchmen4920whats your point?
Hey - I’m from the left. I have loved Tracy for years and what Luke did with ‘Fast Cars’ was great. Their performance at the Grammys was fantastic. Please cool it with the left, left, left stuff.
Her voice is still so comforting.
I LOVED the duet! Loved Tracy's rendition, loved how Luke is covering it for the new generation.
Watched it a couple of times , the look on Tray’s face ! It was beautiful
You are right ! I keep playing it over and over because IT FEELS GOOD.
Tracy won a Grammy for “Best Pop Vocal Performance” for ‘Fast Car’!
I’d say it was a pretty big hit.
Best performance the Grammys have had in years.
Tracy Chapman is a star who came onto her own with her music and talent.
brings tears
It was big in South Africa as well when Tracy’s came out way back. I love their collaboration and would download it immediately!
She sanged at Wembly stadium in London for Nelson Mandela's 70th birthday. She had already sanged "Revolution" and because Stevie Wonder who was the surprise guest they asked her to come back and sing another song and she was unprepared and she decided on "Fast Car" and sanged it in front of 60k people and that performance shot her to stardom which may explain why she was way more popular in the UK.
She was beautiful with a radiant smile the night of the Grammy's. What a gift to see her on stage singing better than ever a song that is so loved. ❤
Right before you said, "It's almost church-like"....I thought to myself....it is like church but how much better is it to worship our loving God and feel his presence!
Until I watched this performance on the awards show and then watched it again on You Tube and listened to the lyrics, I had forgotten how beautiful it is. It made me cry. I used to sing this song when it first became popular in the 1980s but honestly never understood the true meaning of the song. I think everyone can read something into this song and relate to the beautiful words.
I absolutely balled Megyn!!! Love both of these artists, especially Tracy and their music aside.. it was the little glances and smiles at each other that was priceless for me! Those dimples, that smile ... reminds me of more peaceful and beautiful times. There is hope!!!
Sage Steele what a beautiful way to sum it up. I loved their duet. And yes he looked like he was honored to be singing with her. It was awesome.
When Luke Combs covered that song I wasn't expecting to like it but I loved it. And I still remember when that song came out in the 80s. It gave me goose bumps then as it does now. It's a wonderful song!
Amazing duet.........this song transports me back to 1988.......a special year in my life.......
It was the best part of the night, and the best song sung. They sounded beautiful together.
No computers, no drum machine, no lasers, explosions, dancers, etc. Just two gifted musicians and a beautiful song.
Her popping out of hiding for this was a GIFT to us all but for us die-hard fans, this made our year!!!! ❤❤❤❤ i cried. Can't stop rewatching Tracy, legend!! ❤
Great performance, and the lyrics to this song resonate across all generations and people of different backgrounds. That’s why it was beloved in the 80s, and why it’s made such a resurgence now.
Love the two of you together. Beautiful ladies inside and out
It's so beautiful to see people trying to inflict peace,,, respect and love to each other which is now rare in this today's society...
Lovely to hear about Megyn rocking out at a Green Day show! Great conversation about the power of music. 🎶 ❤
That little clip of Tracy Chapman and Luke was pore raising! Loved it!
I love that song when it came out first . Amazing song . Didn’t see the Grammys . Will watch now .
I dreamt about this duet. Glad my dream came true.
I agree! That was an important intersectional moment! It’s been a long time… we needed this moment. We Are the World in Netflix will remind us and our children!
Here it is Megyn plain & simple...Tracy & Luke gave us a GIFT! Enjoy the gift...!
That performance was so beautiful, I teared up a little too!
I could listen to this over and over!
I had that album from Tracy Chapman! Great album! What a great version!
Good for them. Sticking it to the haters of human togetherness..❤
Fast Car is my favourite since being 16 in '87 and this song playing over the PA system at the grocery store where I used to work.
Wow! Over the PA system at the grocery store? I am so jealous. I had to take my sony walkman cassette player with me to work at the fast food joint where I worked and listened to it in my car on break while I smoked a dooby.
@@imhereforitall9218 Those were the days 😅
People are stupid, Megyn! Tracy WROTE that song, so she's getting PAID at a #1 level, finally!
Megyn is very st-p-d!
Seeing Tracy finally get the response and respect she so longingly deserved as an artist for that beautiful piece of music after all these years on that stage then having it shoot to #1 on iTunes was absolutely GLORIOUS..You want true organically occuring DEI? (I hate this term) take a GOOD LOOK...THIS IS HOW IT IS DONE!! What a gratifying moment to watch unfold!
Tracy and Luke are both so humble
Yes TRACY N LUKE WERE THE BEST . TRACY'S SMILE WAS JUS LIT SHE GAVE ME CHILLS I WAS CRYING N HAPPY. FULL OF EMOTIONS 😅😢😊❤❤
Beautiful duet, great American moment ❤️
Love Sage! Smart, Beautiful and kind!
That was great. Love Tracy.
It was a magical performance. ❤
Love this! This is unity and how you bring people together and create peace ❤️
I didn’t like that song when it was originally popular, but now after so many years, I really find it very moving and important. My younger self couldn’t appreciate the story, but now I see it clearly as I watch my own kids grow up and go out into the world.
I love that this great song has been revived and she is getting the recognition she deserves as an artist. I hope people discover how great she is. Truly a special performance.
Not going to lie, I clicked on here wondering how @meghynkelly was going to find a way to spin this into something negative and (for the most part), both ladies did a fantastic job of seeing this for exactly what it was…a beautiful performance that UNITED us all. Whatever issues that arose prior was put to rest after the first note of this duet and to see people come together on anything is huge! THE WORLD NEEDS MORE OF THIS..and guess what…it turns out UNITY also generates clicks (as you can see😉)!!
Now before ppl jump down my throat for saying what I’m about to say, I’m Canadian 🇨🇦 and have no dog in this race but your reputation precedes you around the globe…and this is the most admirable light I have EVER seen Meghyn Kelly..Please continue down this path for 2024 (..throwing shade is beneath you), but this humane sincere side looks so good on you. Respect Meghyn!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Luke and Tracy's voice complimented each other I would love to hear them sing other songs together.
You nailed it ladies, diversity brought together by good music. This is the America that I luv.~
I, too, have gotten tired of politics, mixed in with movies and music, and so on. This brought a true smile to my face. Now I wish I could just find the live Performance.
If Tracy owns the publishing rights she is also making beaucoup bucks with its reintroduction to a new audiences.
She does and Yesss she does
@@courtneykinsey1374
I’m glad for her!
