I know! She is aging so beautifully. She still has that glow and no wrinkles and her grey hair just highlights her beautiful face even more 😅 so jealous
I really like Tracy Chapman’s music. She is so talented. I wish nothing but the best for her. It still burns my buns that Alice outed her without her permission. She was DEAD WRONG for that!
Tracy Chapman is very private person, who has never made any public comments on her private life; IOW she simply wants wants to be left alone. Why don't we just honor that.
I really don't care who Tracy loves or who she is in a relationship with. I don't like the fact Alice outed Tracy without her permission. Love Tracy Chapmans music. It touches your heart and soul.
I saw a video featuring Alice Walker where she outed Tracy as her lover.Tracy never discussed her sexual orientation publicly.Alice just name dropped Tracy’s name to appear trendy and cool.I’ve always thought Alice was very crass for outing Tracy without her permission.I’m not even going to discuss Alice’s relationship with her daughter.It’s just too sad. I hope Tracy is happier with her current partner.Tracy deserves happiness because her songwriting and singing has brought happiness to millions around the world!
I just came across that information and wonder wth was Alice Walker thinking? Then as I thought I was like hey Alice was like 20 yrs Tracey's senior. Did she impress herself upon a young impressionable Tracey? Alice was old enough and mature enough to know not to do that. Just one more reason to dislike her even more, not that I need any.
@@imhereforitall9218 especially back then it was hard for gay people,so what was her intention to out her as well?!?! I don’t think her intentions was pure at all
I don't really care about Tracy's personal life...all I care about is her music...One of the PROLIFIC SONG WRITERS OF OUR TIME...Keep SHINING bright 🔆 Tracy Chapman 💎❣️💯
There is no shame in being gay but NOBODY should be outed without their permission. Nobody, gay or straight, should have their intimate personal life discussed without their permission, period.
This is the first I've heard of Tracy Chapman and Alice Walker being an item. I had no idea. But it was bold and scandalous that a mother would steal her daughter's lover. But even worst, the lover allowed herself to be taken showed she had no respect for feelings and emotions that was involved.
Awesome ! MERCI, l est bon de connaitre le parcours de ceux que nous aimons, ceux avec qui nous avons partager, écouter ; une voix, l'air d'une chanson et plus,😊 à notre adolescence, à ce jour, je ne connaissais rien de Tracy Chapman et d'Alice Walker juste des rumeurs sur sa vie 😊I am very happy❤💋Thank you so much
Hey Gabby, thanks for this. I was always curious about the relationship between these two artists. As an aside, I did find the music a bit distracting as the sound on this video is not that great, but you did a great job on the video itself. Will look for more from you.
I love this story...it is so interesting and complicated. Is Alice Walker friends with her daughter now. Really enjoyed seeing Tracy at The Grammy's. Thank you for sharing this information in your very beautiful voice.
My problem is Alice is name dropping to add something more scandalous to her story /book. Tracey has never acknowledged this and it is her story to tell. Like the authentic woman she has always been she just hasn’t commented on the gossip, who knows if that makes it true or not. I do know if you have to put someone else out there to make your story great it’s not a great story in the first place. 🤷🏽
Tracy's partner is a White woman...i think Jewish. A movie producer i think. They been together for over 10 years. Tracy is a beautiful talented woman❤
and confused too....why Melanins just can't self love self acknowledge...we are so eurocentric indoctrinated...it's pitiful!!!!😢and it gets worst over generations...we always looking like self destruct
Alice Walker. A gifted writer. Tracy Chapman, a gifted writer and performer. Beyond that, people get themselves mixed-up in so-called "age and gender inappropriate" relationships every day, all over the world and around the clock. Live and learn.
OMG i never knew any of this !! wow, i am an uninformed lesbian 😐 thank you for making these, youtube put you in my queue, thank you youtube!! i'm going to binge on your videos today 🥰
I wondered when their relationship would surface on RUclips. In 1991 I caught a glimpse of them together at Burkina Faso’s FESPACO-Pan African Film Festival. It was the scandal of the festival. .
Yes, I have known that Tracy is gay & had a relationship with Alice in the 90’s, doesn’t make me love her less. My husband knows I have girl crush on Tracy and have since I first heard and saw her, I couldn’t get her 1st album fast enough in the late 80’s. I didn’t know about Rebecca or that Alice Walker even had a daughter, seems kind of petty to close her cafe & sell everything, but I don’t know the story, so best mot to judge.
Miserable people have nothing better to do, no one ever mentioned anything about her until the Grammys. Thats why B don't F with people......live your life Tracey ❤❤. Make more music.
Just to be advised this comment is going to take an unexpected turn. This song came out when I was 26 yrs old and it was the year that I contemplated as a 100% gay Black male coming out but I did not because I was raised traditional Catholic and back in the 80s that was a huge no no although we knew as young folks that Catholic priests were molesting boys as we knew it in grade school but the church covered it up or there was not much covering up as we found out later it was an open secret and some just went along with it. (Movie "Doubt" starring Merryl Streep) captured what life was being raised in a traditional Catholic setting and Catholic priest molestation was in high gear.. Back to Tracey Chapman. Having that song Fast Car and that album come out really gave me a sense that I could do something meaningful with my life because I led a tortured life knowing I was a young Black gay male and by all accounts relatively academically strong who still attracted the opposite sex but was only attracted to the same sex but because of the Catholic teaching I dare not act upon those feelings although the ones teaching it (the Priests) were molesting so many boys back then I am 100% some of the parents were not naive to this. So what I did to quench my curiosity I would hang out in the 24 hr adult bookstores that were really popular in the 80s in the US and they usually were located off of beaten path because a lot of seedy things went on in and around there mostly by men looking to have anonymous sex with other men, who were either married or either trade (men who do not identify as gay and are usually hyper masculine and athletically built and in a committed relationship with the opposite sex and may have a kid or 2 and looking to trade sex for something of value, like money, food, a place to stay for the night or all of the above). Also I went to look at the gay smut magazines and I could not believe what I was seeing. There was also usually a spacious viewing area in the back part of the store with glory holes in each booth where you can pay .25 to continuously plunk in the viewer and watch any type of sexual movie you wanted and also to have anonymous sex. It was in the fall of 1990 when I was propositioned by a white guy who had offered me money to come back to his place and we would have sex. (which I had no plans of doing), but the one thing that stuck out to me was how persistent he was. However, just to pass the time a way I spoke to him and led him to believe i would meet him late Sunday night because he works 3rd shift but would not be going in that night. I agreed and did not show up to meet him because I truly never planned to so I ghosted him. When I came back to the bookstore one of the regulars I had befriended told me the white guy had came into the bookstore and was looking around. I had already told him the guy had propositioned me and we had a nickname for him that was not too flattering but I can't recall but I do know he seemed intoxicated when I spoke to him but I did not smell any beer or liquor. Time went on and and hanging in the bookstore became a regular thing for me and other gays in the 80s and the trade boys looking to make money or whatever else that was available to do. I remember having the Tracey Chapman cassette playing in my Sony Walkman cassette player and her songs were playing in some of the adult bookstores. So fast forward the next summer I wake up to go to work but I let my tv play for awhile without watching but just listened as I lay in bed with my back turn giving myself 10 more minutes before I got up to get ready for work. As i am listening to the broadcast I remember back then CNN was called Headlines news and they were talking about this apartment building where they found some body parts of men and was still investigating what exactly it was they had discovered but assured there would updates during the day. I am listening to this with my back still turned thinking it was in Chicago or New York because they believed they had stumbled onto a serial killer and usually i am thinking that type of stuff is for the big city dwellers. It was not until they said where I lived did i jump out of bed in disbelief seeing them taking this huge white tub out where apparently body parts were in. But then the most shell shocking thing happened next. The person they had under arrest they showed his picture on tv and to my horror it was literally the same person who tried to now I know lure me to come to his place the previous year and I started to vomit uncontrollably.

I am thinking one day I will get pas this but I made it my point to not watch any of the series because i had unknowingly interacted with some of his victims too just in a casual conversation in the adult bookstore. Thank you Tracey Chapman for lifting me up.
Wow! I did watch the series and I'm so glad you had enough sense not to be lured by him!!🤢 And as a mom of young men, I'm so sorry for whatever happened to you in the Catholic Church😭 Proud to know that you stand on the principles of who you are and I pray you continue to live a safe & prosperous life!🙏😇
As I got older and a little more mature and wiser to life I started putting things into a more macro- perspective as opposed to mico.

Alice Walker’s The Color Purple is a classic black musical. I like it better than the 1985 movie. There are no nasty scenes in the movie. However, I did not know that Tracy Chapman was gay.
Common knowledge to most lesbians of color. Wasn't a need to share what the parties involved had not done in their time. I wish all three the best with the knowledge they remain respected within our community.
Hold the hell up lol. So tracey and the daughter was messing around first and the mom " stole " her away. Tracey paid the ex lover aka Alice daughter off basically to leave them alone
Is Oprah in this lesbian triangle? Is that why she keeps reviving The Color Purple? Everybody knows lesbians exist. What I don't understand is why we have to be reminded of it repeatedly. Who is getting what out of this?
Let's considered they became very close..they both lv music...BTW listening to sm of Alice's interviews, i detect something not sure bout her stability so unless u know proof dont put this out pls We're in a time that blk family isn't respected and to our demise We're assisting...no black men however black women of all kinds sexually, and no cultural consciousness wtf
So much pollution. Perversion and lust are detestable to holiness. The Holy Spirit flees from such that are therein involved. Filthiness and putrefaction are all what lust and perversion are about,and it is an abomination in the presence of God ! The blind and ignorant will never understand mysteries of the Most High. Holiness is the key to salvation !
All I can say..Tracy has a beautiful smile, beautiful skin...no makeup and looks like that ...fabulous
I know! She is aging so beautifully. She still has that glow and no wrinkles and her grey hair just highlights her beautiful face even more 😅 so jealous
It seems like a sincere, honest human being is shining through her gorgeous skin. @@alllifematters
Tracy Chapman is an icon. Period. End of Story.
I really like Tracy Chapman’s music. She is so talented. I wish nothing but the best for her. It still burns my buns that Alice outed her without her permission. She was DEAD WRONG for that!
Oh wow, I didnt think about it that way. Alice putting it all in a book was outing her. I agree dead wrong
Tracy Chapman is very private person, who has never made any public comments on her private life; IOW she simply wants wants to be left alone. Why don't we just honor that.
Name 1 celebrity/ musician who has ever been left alone?
SO THANKFUL TO GOD, I HAVE A LIFE, A FULL LIFE...THANK YOU FATHER...PEACE AND BLESSINGS TO EVERYONE...
I really don't care who Tracy loves or who she is in a relationship with. I don't like the fact Alice outed Tracy without her permission. Love Tracy Chapmans music. It touches your heart and soul.
Whomever Tracy's Partner is, "I Pray 🙏 for Them to Have All the Best", along with "All of My ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤".

@@imhereforitall9218 exactly, Alice is something else.
@@imhereforitall9218 especially back then it was hard for gay people,so what was her intention to out her as well?!?!
I don’t think her intentions was pure at all

There is no shame in being gay but NOBODY should be outed without their permission. Nobody, gay or straight, should have their intimate personal life discussed without their permission, period.
I'm old but in love with Tracy from paraguay ❤
Thank you for this posting. I'm a big fan of both ladies. 💚
First time I'm hearing about this!
Tracy is Beautiful Naturally xx
I totally agree, but I have to admit that I didn’t realize how pretty she was back in the day when Fast Car came out.
Leave her alone people. Her beautiful peace should not be bothered.
This is the first I've heard of Tracy Chapman and Alice Walker being an item. I had no idea. But it was bold and scandalous that a mother would steal her daughter's lover. But even worst, the lover allowed herself to be taken showed she had no respect for feelings and emotions that was involved.
Ok then reneged on the investment because you broke up with the mother 🤔🤔🤷🏽♀ I gotta listen again. Smdh
We have no idea what the whole story is. Just goes to show that no matter how private and silent you are, people will always speculate and judge you
Thank you for the video ❤

Thank you! Happy to have you here 🫶
Very intresting 👍🏼 but the music is very loud so hard to hear you
I was thinking the same thing!
Very much so!
Hey Gabby, thanks for this. I was always curious about the relationship between these two artists. As an aside, I did find the music a bit distracting as the sound on this video is not that great, but you did a great job on the video itself. Will look for more from you.
This was very revealing to me. Thank you
Great commentary. Thank you.
Our African Queen I'm a guy from Africa... supporting my sister TRACY

Wow? I was absolutely clueless to all this drama
Excellent presentation ❤
Very beautiful voice.
❤ur music Trae Trae and your a great author Alice. Great women❤️❤️🌷🌷

Love ❤️ her Music she is a legend
I wondered when their relationship would surface on RUclips. In 1991 I caught a glimpse of them together at Burkina Faso’s FESPACO-Pan African Film Festival. It was the scandal of the festival. .
Tracy Chapman , no Social Media , private, talented, beautiful!❤...2024
I love her music 🎶
I pray for her soul 🙏
Sound check 🗣🔈🔉🔊
Bom dia agradeço a sua participação 🙂 obrigada a todos Deus abençoe
Yes, Alice was so messy for that.
Yes, I have known that Tracy is gay & had a relationship with Alice in the 90’s, doesn’t make me love her less.

Well… I sure didn’t know but I still hope I grow old gracefully like Tracy. Still a fan of your music.

Even more interesting is the Father/Daughter lawyer defense team for Dahmer I also met. I had only met the daughter because by then she was on news and she came into a place where i worked during the trial and I assisted her and ensured not to mention the trial. It was a high end store and usually got high end customers. After she left we talked about it but it was evident she was using that time as down time. And contrary to what they were saying about the Damher building it was not unkempt or seedy.

And the area was a mixture of working class people and college students because one of the flagship schools Marquette University is in the area and the building I lived in at the time was all students, including myself.

Have you read the book? Nasty scenes? You mean mister slapping Celie right? Or when Sophia gets whacked with the gun and taken to jail?
It was kind of obvious.
NO,THIS WAS NOT LOVE,THIS WAS LUST
❤
I never knew this.
We all have our history. BOUNDARIES are important. Interesting piece of information.
The author of American Psycho is Bret Easton Ellis, just sayin'....
Wishing the best for both young ladies spiritually and mentally
How did you get all this tea???
Common knowledge to most lesbians of color. Wasn't a need to share what the parties involved had not done in their time.
I wish all three the best with the knowledge they remain respected within our community.
???! Great musician Tracy Chapman is! That’s her life. Live and let live! “TheChef”
This shouldn't be news. People have the right to make their sexual choice.🇧🇷
Some thing's ....just keep to yourself😮 Yike's
I’ve said it before and here I’ll say it once more and with conviction , I’d empty my own bank account to wake up tomorrow morning heterosexual.
This is not my business.
Tracy likes writers
Turn Down the music
The music is loud and jarring.
Sounds like Alice Walker was predatory towards Tracey. Smh
omg I loved this video. so much scandal lol

Tracy' she's a black heart woman it's all about herself
I thought Tracy dated Alice's daughter not Alice
Tracy dated Alice's daughter first and then started dating Alice. One might say, Alice took Tracy away from her daughter Rebecca.
How do we know their love story? Alice made a statement. To my knowledge she didn’t tell their story and Tracy has not remarked. Or has she? 😊
Stop talking about these people who are so private
I get a great vibe from Tracy Chapman. Not so with Alice Walker.
Did you get Tracy's blessing on this report? Just stop it!
I didn't know Tracy was a woman i thought 💭 she was a men all these years even when I was a child i saw her on tv never know she was a woman 😮
I didn't know Tracy was ....
Tracy must have dated them at the same time because why would she take the money back after her and Alice broke up that makes no sense.
John 3 verse 16
Hold the hell up lol. So tracey and the daughter was messing around first and the mom " stole " her away. Tracey paid the ex lover aka Alice daughter off basically to leave them alone
In the Eyes of GOD, this type of relationship is forbidden. Regardless of the Music or Plays they made their Relationship is not of GOD.

Lost generation lesbians don't bring out children very unfortunately for such an icon to have no children

So much pollution. Perversion and lust are detestable to holiness. The Holy Spirit flees from such that are therein involved. Filthiness and putrefaction are all what lust and perversion are about,and it is an abomination in the presence of God !
The blind and ignorant will never understand mysteries of the Most High. Holiness is the key to salvation !
