I listened to her so much, where has the time gone? 36 years??????? So lovely to reconnect to this old friend. She is luminous, isn't she? National treasure.
Her song Tinman will break your heart; wide open. Then mend it in 3 minutes. I love her so much. All of her songs make you feel differently at the end then you did in the beginning.
Time flies when you have not just great music but amazing storytellers like the queen of storytelling Tracy Chapman ❤️ she's definitely a diamond that shines when she starts singing. To me, she's not just singing. She's telling a story through her music. ABSOLUTELY 💯 AMAZING
¡No one introduced her to me. But thank God I discovered his music in t PS: Argentina is the most passionate country for football and local and international music recitals.and Music.
I think of so many artists and musicians whose light burned out too soon, and I feel so profoundly thankful that Tracy Chapman persevered. Seeing her, hearing her beautiful voice, noting the touch of gray in her hair…I’m just glad she’s still with us. ❤
I did too both were amazing as they always are neither get the credit they so greatly deserve it was a great show things were very different back then everything seemed to mean more
I’m 71 and remember when Tracy’s music was first recognized. I bought every album she released and still listen. Happy to see her gaining recognition again. Beautiful voice.
She is such a natural beauty! She looks great! She is in perfect shape and her skin is completely flawless, the dimples! Plus her voice is still as amazing as it always was!
What a gorgeous rendition. It's a song we've all heard a million times, maybe to the point that I'm immune to it, but Chapman's performance reanimated it and reminded me of its beauty. The power of sincerity. Of course, always fun to see when Dave is genuinely moved. He's a complicated curmudgeon, but you always knew when he truly appreciated a joke or a song.
I love how consistent she's been. Never tried to revamp herself. Always stuck to the sound that works for her, has the same message, never tried to glitz and glammer her way to the top, just used her talents
Have not seen Tracey in years. So glad to see her music skills better then ever and she looks fantastic. Well done My Lady. Please don’t stay gone so long. Even Luke Combs is covering her songs. The world could sure use more her talent.
She did the right thing staying out the lime light for self preservation. She is happy and healthy ….just have to appreciate the moments she pops out every so oftenn❤❤
I don't think I've seen this since it aired. Chapman's performance is perfect, like she's gently placing a song we've heard hundreds of times directly into our hearts. What a wonderful moment for Letterman as a parent.
If we only had one word to describe this performance, we would choose ‘sublime.’ Since we don’t have to only use one word, we will add that the sentimentality Dave feels for this song is clearly transferable. What a beautiful, iconic moment.
I'm with Dave when I was a teen I wore out the sound on my record, it was just a hiss.... When my folks would leave the house at night I'd turn out the lights and just by the light of the moon I would sing and dance to this song upstairs and down again and again this was my song, still is and I can't dance anymore, am 75, but I can listen, and it's still my song. I never thought I'd like it done differently than the original. But she makes it her song too, and it's wonderful....
Even here in Ethiopia, we love her so much ... She's one of the greatest musicians who made music the language of humanity, with no barriers and borders!! Her music controls every human soul's heart! My Tracy I wish you all the BEST!❤
Truly a class act and one of the nicest performers I've ever met. I was at S.I.R in Hollywood warming up for a showcase and she was rehearsing her band to go out on the road and I talked to her in her Audi rental. She was warm and genuine and kind to me even though I'm a nobody. I've always appreciated that, would love to see her again.
Grace, class and a beautiful voice. So few performers know what those words even mean anymore. And I forgot to mention humble too. Our world is hungry for more Tracy Chapmans.
I'm a delivery driver in Australia so I bang that radio when hits that have moved me play, I heard a new version of tracy Chapman's fast car on the radio and it moved me to tears, coz even tho this other guy was singing it I was seeing her perspective as an adult, I was a kid when I first heard her and my music teacher made my music study her, SHE is a legend!!! Tracy Chapman... Thank you ma'am
In some commercial ways, Tracy was a flash in the pan. But what we know now is that her brief time in the spotlight was and remains remarkably special. So happy for Tracy and her early success then dropping in now and again to remind us of her power as a singer songwriter artist. Thank you Letterman!
Just brilliant. Thank you @Tracy Chapman online Your music helped keep me living through my many struggles with cancer and my one wish is to meet you Angel 🖤🕊️
The strength, vulnerability and humility in her voice is just fascinating. She is iconic. An outstanding contralto on the level of the late Nina Simone
Her voice and lyrics have been a huge part of my life since she first touched my heart in the late 80's , I'm am so honoured to share this earth with her ❤

Under rated…unbelievably talented. I grew up with her voice….she’s perfect
i came because this was memorable to me then.
Me!!!! 😃

I listened to her so much, where has the time gone? 36 years??????? So lovely to reconnect to this old friend. She is luminous, isn't she? National treasure.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING 💯 I just love her
I was still a young 33 when she hit the scene... time has just flown.
Make sure and go back and listen to her performance with Eric Clapton too-- doing "give me one reason". It is absolute 🔥🔥🔥
@@BelleTolles Give Me One Reason duet with Eric Clapton is hands down AMAZING!!! Love them both
Her song Tinman will break your heart; wide open. Then mend it in 3 minutes. I love her so much. All of her songs make you feel differently at the end then you did in the beginning.
She is an absolute queen. Her face radiates such beauty and depth. And that mind blowing heart melting voice
Hauntingly mellifluous, soulful, "heart melting"....
Beauty is her
You see it all in her. We are lucky to have her in our midst.
This, so much.
She’s got the Jackson’s cheekbones! After all they’re cousins. ❤
My wife introduced me to Tracy in 1992. I have been a fan for more than 30 years now. That woman is not just an artist...she is a national treasure.
International bro, us Brits love her too :)
Thanks for reminding us all it's been 30 years ..... An absolutely soulful journey every single album....
Time flies when you have not just great music but amazing storytellers like the queen of storytelling Tracy Chapman ❤️ she's definitely a diamond that shines when she starts singing. To me, she's not just singing. She's telling a story through her music. ABSOLUTELY 💯 AMAZING
And so is my husband introduces me to Tracy's music, we love her

I'm watching this after her Grammy Awards performance. What a beautiful performance! What a wonderful singer / songwriter!
She's one of the best storytellers of our time. She has a voice that just draws you in. She's just amazing.
Me too
Me too!
Her Voice is not only heard but FELT, it penetrates my bones. She is a gift to humanity.
Yeah, and especially in Fast Car. After all these years, don't think anyone has even come close to capturing the feel.
it's called duende. an emotional physical response to beauty in art.
I feel the same.
I want to cry in awe of her amazing talent. What a magical being.
Truth
I love her voice sm. No tricks, no ego, no runs, just VOICE
But she sounds tired,.. though…
@@itsme4693 I didn’t catch that but it works for the song. It’s a song about needing someone to stand by you when you ARE tired.
@@itsme4693what?? No she doesn’t lol she sounds amazing as always!
@@itsme4693Not even close.
@@jakestroll6518 I like Jake's response!! No need arguing, just turn the table. Nice!
And here it is...2024, and she performed 'Fast Car' with Luke Combs on this year's Grammys. What a treasure!
Thanks for the delicate
Performance what a sweetie
Her voice is medicinal 😊
It's true
Enough said
Sure is. 🥰🥰
The blessing from up on above waay above
Yes
Effortless classy singing by the ever gracious Tracy Chapman . What a legend !
She's the good old America. No fake, no BS no nothing. Such a pure soul and hypnotizing voice❤
absolutely
A realistic Woman singer!
Wao yos k mis regalos cuandos Escuches Esta bellas cancion ❤😅🎉😢
Bay osten tenbaimis
ALBUM of the 80s. 😊
I think of so many artists and musicians whose light burned out too soon, and I feel so profoundly thankful that Tracy Chapman persevered. Seeing her, hearing her beautiful voice, noting the touch of gray in her hair…I’m just glad she’s still with us. ❤
No crazy vibratos, no crazy runs, just one of the purest voices that you’ll ever hear.
Adding anything just dilutes her pure talent
Nothing wrong with runs and vibratos! That’s also talent but it’s not necessary for everyone
Vibratos and runs are great when not forced.
???? Y'all sound so cringe
What a beautiful soul.
My 6 month old baby just stopped playing when she started singing. She's paying so much attention to this song!!
I was so lucky to see her as an opening act for 10,000 Maniacs before she hit it big. Just her and her guitar. The crowd was stunned.
She is one that when she sings every note can be felt, not just heard.
So jealous!
Very lucky.
What a fabulous double bill.
I did too both were amazing as they always are neither get the credit they so greatly deserve it was a great show things were very different back then everything seemed to mean more
Her pure voice, her dimples...such an amazing artist!
Hello how are you doing 😊
Saw her ay AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL in Philly in 87....
A M E N....
Tracey has a voice we don't hear we feel it❤️❤️
Very well worded and totally agree
I am here because she just recieved CMA award for Song of the Year for her masterpiece Fast car! There is no one like Tracy Chapman! ♥️
One of the best live performances on Letterman, period.
Simple and beautiful.
Amen
Get a grip man.
There ain't no more to say
Perfection...She had a guitar, amp, and her voice...tears!
She’s never out of control or too loud & it makes her songs easy to sing. Love it
Go Tracy go we ❤u
I’m 71 and remember when Tracy’s music was first recognized. I bought every album she released and still listen. Happy to see her gaining recognition again. Beautiful voice.
I love that, in the final days of the Late Show, Dave chose to share with us things that are personally meaningful to him.
Hello Karen
@@FredWalker-bn5fyoff base, look in the mirror
It was really great and touching as his ending ran
She is such a natural beauty! She looks great! She is in perfect shape and her skin is completely flawless, the dimples! Plus her voice is still as amazing as it always was!
I just love her. Her voice just exudes a gentle strength. I don't know any other way to describe it. I am in just complete awe when I hear her sing.
Hello B Humphries
Gentle strength is a great descriptor
Gentle strength, that just might be it. Feels like comforting arms wrapped around you
When they say you are the light in the dark; this is what they mean. Thank you, Tracy! 😭
She doesn’t age….her hair just glitters a little more. She is the best!!
She doesn't even need makeup! Even if she is, she ought to teach us her no makeup makeup look
I'm gonna start calling mine glitter. 😅😅 And you are right, a timeless beauty.
She has incredible bone structure too. And those dimples! So cute
Yes she’s a beauty!
Tracy Chapman deserves the Presidential Medal of Honor for her musical ability to touch the hearts of Americans.
Tracy has a remarkable voice. Also, projects sincerity and depth. There is nothing fake about her.
This woman is a Lengend. She comes out with just her voice and her guitar and performs magic.
Never get tired of listening to the beautiful voice of the great Tracy Chapman
That voice. Just her and her guitar. Pure heaven to behold this beautiful voice.

Her voice is magical ❤8
@@rockboyznative No social media accounts, no smartphone, and only responds to smoke signals.
Just one of a kind.

Tracy Chapman is one of the best of all time.
My favorite voice of all time!! And what a stunning human all around. Tears are flowing.. happy tears 🥲
Mine too, if I would have to choose only one singer among hundreds of them ( which I love most) it would be Tracy...
Tracy is class. She radiates so much peace and timelessness.
Anything she sings brings me to tears.
I saw this performance on TV when it originally aired back in 2015. Still brings tears to my eyes today! Well Done, Miss Tracy! 🥲 ❤
Must be one of the most underrated most under appreciated artists of our time. The voice of an angel.
She is a real one, no sellout of the fake industry
I was hooked the first time I heard her music. I think I still have a cassette with her songs. Tracy we need your music in this troubled world.
She is so humble her only change is her hair she still is the same in her looks a beautiful human.
OH WOW, what a voice!!! It is 2024 and I'm still enjoying this beautiful rendition by the amazing and talented Tracy Chapman.❤
Wow! Just a guitar and a stunningly beautiful voice!
Even here in Ethiopia, we love her so much ... She's one of the greatest musicians who made music the language of humanity, with no barriers and borders!! Her music controls every human soul's heart! My Tracy I wish you all the BEST!❤
You can tell Dave respects Tracy a lot and is honored she came to play.
She is never getting old. As she gets old the more the voice sounds touchy and beautiful. Awesome!

Haven't heard from her in a while. Her delightful voice still gives me the chills.
Once she started the chills that I received over my body man she just has that voice that hits the soul
Amazing performance. Just the lady, her voice and her guitar.
She is a unique entertainer. Highly under appreciated.
Eu não sei por qual motivo essa mulher não está na lista das 10 top vozes do mundo🌎
Aula de interpretação, talento nato ❤
One of the greatest voices we’ll ever be blessed to hear. Just beautiful.
One of the most underrated talents of the past 30 years. Pure voice and nothing much else, not something we hear today.
When was she ever underrated?
What a special, special, special treasure of a human being. You still bring me to tears, Tracy, you goddess.
Love, Love, Love this lady's voice.
Obsessed since her first song. It really doesn’t get any better. Hail Tracy Chapman!
That lady is timeless ❤

One of the most underrated artists ever. Just incredible. Soft and smooth l.
What a beautiful and talented human being. She should insure those dimples, because they are magical and priceless. Her voice hugs you.
That, my friends, is talent .
Many musicians out there should take notes.
Taylor Swift??????
Subtle and beautiful .
Yes, you don't have to get naked to entertain Tracy's music is just pure.
Ohhh Tracy how we have missed you!! Kudos to David Letterman for having Tracy on his show so much!!
Always suspected Tracy wasn't human but a beautifull angel from the heavens that were given to this weary world as a balm for our woes
You are so right Sir. God bless you and her always.
Just brilliant. Thank you @Tracy Chapman online Your music helped keep me living through my many struggles with cancer and my one wish is to meet you Angel 🖤🕊️
