100%, wembley or not, I loved her growing up and didn't know she performed there until last year. She is one of the greats who doesn't get the attention she deserves but doesn't want!
She owes no one anything. Because she's a Black artist in her category....she gets no Recognition from a certain group of people. So who the hell fault is that??? You said crazy!!!
It's a shame that you only hear "fast car", "talking bout a resolution" and "baby can I hold you" on the radio. Every song on that first album should be a hit!
This song hits hard. Goosebumps every time for me. Tears in my eyes, depending on how my life is going at the moment. It will always be one of my favorites. It’s timeless. She’s awesome.
She got where she is because she's worked hard and is SUPER talented and deserves what she's earned. As those 60,000 who feel in love with her have proven.
@@andrewking9454that's very doubtful and such a pessimistic assumption. Probably every person I know has heard fast car - it's a truly beautifully emotional.
No, because she won a Grammy for this song decades ago. She didn't need Luke Combs to cover this song because it's already ICONIC. Luke did himself a FAVOR by covering this song. It has now become a "hit" for him. He should be grateful to her not the other way around.
He is and has nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for her. He has said it...and continues to say it regularly. Just the way he carried himself and looked toward her while on stage at the Grammys said it all.
Exactly! I’m surprised so many people have no idea she won a Grammy with this song and the song actually earned her 3, not 1, not 2, but 3 Grammy nominations. It has always been a great song that sold all around the world.
We all knew "Fast car" way before Luke did his cover. And tbh, nobody can possibly sing that song better than Tracy did. You can literally picture the story she's telling when she sings it with the beautiful acoustic guitar
@@realrapfan5771 exactly 💯 It's wild, but when she sings it, I picture riding in the car with her and just seeing her smile from ear to ear because of the excitement of having a new beginning and I just imagine all of the emotions she was feeling
@@realrapfan5771The misogynistic and raycist music industry treated her like a piece of crap back then even after having the hit song. It was over the top bad.
This song is a classic. The proof is that after all these years it still resonates with people. and unfortunately years after we are all gone it will again because of the world we live in. She is forever part of the American musical fabric due to its pure honesty.
I dont know why but this song makes me think about my brother that passed away 3 years ago. Ive always liked this song and now its hard to listen to it without tearing up. As the youngest of 3 brothers i never thought he would go before me. I love and miss you so much.
Big red I know how you feel because our baby brother who was the youngest of the boys and the youngest out of seven of us was the first of the siblings to pass away right about this time of the year 2 years ago . And it was very sad ... he had already been going through an extremely hard time for a couple years ... and then my sister called me saying he wasn't answering the phone or returning phone calls for 6 days now and we both knew it didn't feel right . I was 1500 Mi away and not well and my sister was in the hospital ... by the time my family got there , the coroner later thought my brother had already been dead for 2 whole weeks . Makes me sad that he passed away alone and was there on the basement floor all that time . May our baby brothers rest in peace .
Tracy was popular back when I was a teen! This song was popular back then, it has just been reintroduced to the newer generation. The promise is another great song that she sang with such emotion.
I will give luke alot of credit bringing her back on the great stage to see this wonderful soul sing again and let alot of people remember and first timers. God bless Tracy
I hadn't heard the story but it definitely had the feel of someone who could relate. Whether t was her, or someone she knew or even heard of, her empathy for that situation comes through.
Tracy is going to be well compensated as the writer. She is happy that HER song will be heard by country music fans. Just like Dolly. Willie and Kris made money off people doing their songs.
GOD is Amazing....GOD gave Tracy that Brilliant Opportunity to Shine 🙏👏....60,000 People Nelson Mandela ,Stevie Wonder had Technical Difficulties and Couldn't Perform .... Nothing but GOD and he Bless Tracy with Pure Talents ♥️
Back when she was getting air play, I felt that her songs and her singing had a Country feel to them, and I had wished they would play her songs on Country radio. Glad one of them finally made it there.
I grew up with that song. We’d play it in our fast cars heading out on a road trip to nowhere! Wherever we wound up is where we partied! Great freaking song!
No one could ever hold a candle to Tracy’s version, but you could tell how much love Luke had for the song to the point where he didn’t change anything lyrical or instrumental.
I love this song! Really makes me think about life. She doesn't owe her success to anyone other than to her own talent and to a golden opportunity to showcase it!
She owes nobody for a song she composed, wrote, sang and performed. Congrats Tracy Chapman. This song has been an anthem through 20 years of struggle..
I absolutely love this so much. You can see that her voice is trembling, and she’s shaking with fear and also trying to believe it in herself as she sings those words because she knows she deserves to be there. It’s fighting with self doubt, and yet knowing that you’re meant for more. It’s beautiful and she deserves all this success that she has what a wonderful Woman. I can’t imagine the strength that it took for her to get up there and do that when Stevie didn’t go on, I can’t even imagine.❤
Never heard of Luke Comes before the Grammies but, like million of persons I have heard of Tracy Chapman admired and appreciated her tremendous talent for many years
Her success is owed to her music and lyrical genius! Very rarely in a generation do we get artists who put their whole heart and soul into their work, and don't rely on the flashy attention-grabbing persona / music. Chapman's work has HEART. It has PAIN. It has SOUL. I didnt grow up with her, but i recently listened to her first self-named album, and i was DEVISTATED by how fabulous every song is, how deliberate every lyric is, how genuine every word and note feels.

Tracy Chapman owes her success to Tracy Chapman. PERIOD
100%, wembley or not, I loved her growing up and didn't know she performed there until last year. She is one of the greats who doesn't get the attention she deserves but doesn't want!
Absolutely agree❤
That part
She owes no one anything. Because she's a Black artist in her category....she gets no Recognition from a certain group of people. So who the hell fault is that??? You said crazy!!!
And I know that's right brother 👊🖤
Tracy owes it to no one. She is a legend
So true.
Damn, bro, your profile looks straight American History X, but you're def right, she's a great musician.
@@jamieshows1564 wtf? Why are you trying to make any racist? Such a dumbass!
Tracy Chapman was such an instantly recognizable voice on the radio at the time. That song caught us all up in its magic upon first hearing. ❤
That entire album was pure magic.....every song was a beautiful tale of humanity, just a masterpiece.
Is so wonderful to see someone who has listened to the magic of Tracy Chapman other music
100%
It's a shame that you only hear "fast car", "talking bout a resolution" and "baby can I hold you" on the radio. Every song on that first album should be a hit!
"I-I had a feeling that I belonged, I had a feeling I could be someone" hits hard to people who been through that kind of life.. I know I lived it.
So we'll said ! 🎉
Tracy Chapman owes her success to the fact she’s an amazing performer with a beautiful voice
Tbh I thought it was a boy at first, but God is she a good singer
She's owns that song period
SHE’S AN ICON. Way before you were even born…long after you’re gone, her music will be here.
This song hits hard. Goosebumps every time for me. Tears in my eyes, depending on how my life is going at the moment. It will always be one of my favorites. It’s timeless. She’s awesome.
She got where she is because she's worked hard and is SUPER talented and deserves what she's earned. As those 60,000 who feel in love with her have proven.
Was there at Wembley just to see her. Knockout performance and an unforgettable day!!
@@janjanjirker863I met an Englishman who was at live aid at Wembley. So jealous, Freddy Mercury’s performance ❤️🙏
YES !!!! ❤🎉
No, she owes her fame for being simply fantastic! We are all still in love with Tracy and her songs......live long and prosper!.......🎉❤
Exactly, her talent got her here.
The absolute disrespect of him and anyone that would have the audacity to cover this .....hope that's thier last dollar
@@realrapfan5771How would it be an absolute disrespect?
@@misterbee66Plus passion, perseverance and pure intentions
@@leacaballero6337 Certainly.
Her version will always be the truest! ❤
Damn right!
I don't know. the version from Black Pumas is awesome and heartfelt
Luke gives a good rendition but Tracy is the queen. But all songwriters want their music to be heard.
I bet Luke never heard the song until his label told him he would be covering it lol
@@andrewking9454that's very doubtful and such a pessimistic assumption. Probably every person I know has heard fast car - it's a truly beautifully emotional.
Tracy Chapman is someone, is someone, is someone.
you didn’t need to say it 3x
@@therealthunderbolt Yes I did.
Clever! It echoes the lyrics and pattern of the song!❤️
@@therealthunderbolt ummm they did it 3 times referring to the song smh
HERE..HERRRRE!!!🥂...WELL PLAYED my friend!!!!😅
One of the most beautiful songs ever written and she wrote it herself
That arial view is CRAZY. A jam packed stadium SILENT.
Right, the silence!!! All in awe
No, because she won a Grammy for this song decades ago. She didn't need Luke Combs to cover this song because it's already ICONIC. Luke did himself a FAVOR by covering this song. It has now become a "hit" for him. He should be grateful to her not the other way around.
You're mentally ill

PS: He is grateful and adores her. He says it himself, and he covered it to honour her, I think that’s absolutely beautiful.
Yes Luke defers totally and respectifully
I am 70's from Taiwan. This song is one of my favorite song, so does my daughter.
Wow!
🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼

Took my thoughts right out my head 😁. She lived through it that's why it's so genuine and that voice is 1 of 1 no one gets close
@@realrapfan5771 exactly 💯 It's wild, but when she sings it, I picture riding in the car with her and just seeing her smile from ear to ear because of the excitement of having a new beginning and I just imagine all of the emotions she was feeling

Stop being a hater. THEY BOTH WERE AMAZING. I love how they collaborate together. Luke definitely gave Tracey Her Flowers
This song is a classic. The proof is that after all these years it still resonates with people. and unfortunately years after we are all gone it will again because of the world we live in. She is forever part of the American musical fabric due to its pure honesty.
Still one of the best songs. Shes amazing ❤
My favorite song of all time, absolutely beautiful
Luke just introduced tracy to the kids
I’m glad he kept the song true to its original form. Props to him on a great cover.
@deepwaterrehab7685 its mid at best imo and might as well have not been done. The original is far superior. Kind of wondering what he brought to it
I introduced her to my kids and grands❤️
@@mcDontSpeak Luke did fantastic on the song IMO
@@frenchy1987For real. People need to quit hating
I dont know why but this song makes me think about my brother that passed away 3 years ago. Ive always liked this song and now its hard to listen to it without tearing up. As the youngest of 3 brothers i never thought he would go before me.

It's Hers ! A classic that will forever be with us. Thank you, Tracy ❤!
My first CD ever. Every song on that album is great !
That whole album was PERFECT.
I was in grade one and i still remember.
This song! superb!! And so is Tracy Chapman.
I would love to have a hit which meant so much to another artist that they HAD to record it. That is respect
When she sings "I had a feeling I could be someone' got shivers.
Tracy is her own reason for success. I'm glad she didn't have to pull a Robert Johnson for musical talent
I remember this song from the day. I really didn’t pay that much attention to the lyrics. I just liked her voice and the rhythm of the song.
She loves the cover. She loves that a new generation is embracing the song.
Exactly!!
But she doesn’t owe success to anyone but herself. It’s awesome that artist want to cover her words but they owe her, not the other way around.
That’s nice but we don’t lol
Absolutely. She had nothing but good things to say about Luke
Tracy was popular back when I was a teen! This song was popular back then, it has just been reintroduced to the newer generation. The promise is another great song that she sang with such emotion.
Tracy Chapman is Flawless and Zen Of Music 🎵🙏 Deep Devotion for Her 💞🌸🌼✊
Talent and hard work made Tracy Chapman successful.
I will give luke alot of credit bringing her back on the great stage to see this wonderful soul sing again and let alot of people remember and first timers. God bless Tracy
Her version is the best version. Its a classic song that I will never get tired listening to.
She's the best
Tracy Chapman. Iconic voice. Genius writing. And of course that guitar!
Love Tracy’s song, the words are beautiful and she sings so eloquently!

Just chills. Random things and errors create the most beautiful things in this world
Tracy's artistic talent blows me away!! Truly a musical genius!! Fantastic lyrics and awesome rhythms!! Bravo, Tracy, Bravo 👏 🙌 😎 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Tracy Chapman with this song alone became a household name worldwide
Such a humble talented human being!! She is a LEGEND PERIOD
Every legend has that serendipitous moment that is given to them by the gods to take or leave. She took it.
Back when she was getting air play, I felt that her songs and her singing had a Country feel to them, and I had wished they would play her songs on Country radio. Glad one of them finally made it there.
I grew up with that song. We’d play it in our fast cars heading out on a road trip to nowhere! Wherever we wound up is where we partied! Great freaking song!
I've loved this song for over 20 years. I think it's pretty neat to see it come alive, again, in pop culture.
Tracy Chapman is a genius! Beautiful voice and musician ♥️♥️♥️
Tracey is a legend always heart felt coming from her
You can feel the emotion in her voice. Goosebumps.
Tracy Chapman is unique. I’ve always loved her. xxx
Love your story
She has an incredibly beautiful voice.
No one could ever hold a candle to Tracy’s version, but you could tell how much love Luke had for the song to the point where he didn’t change anything lyrical or instrumental.
The awful steel guitar in his version begs to differ.
Tracy Chapman is incredibly talented and won awards for her music when she first started. She doesn’t owe anyone, it’s all her.
Truly a fantastic song!!🙏👏
Fast Car & Give Me One Reason!!! Love her voice & these 2 songs sent me into orbit! ❤ 😊
I got chills❤️
A brilliant writer, singer, humanitarian, woman , Legend!!
She captured that arena. Was amazing then and now.
I’m 2 years old from
Katmandú and I love this music.
I LOVE this ARTIST❣️🙏✨
I love this song! Really makes me think about life. She doesn't owe her success to anyone other than to her own talent and to a golden opportunity to showcase it!
I remember this song from the late 80's it was an instant hit
I love love love this hook
I prefer Tracy she sings it so well
I remember exactly when thus song was released, one of my all time favorites!
She is a fucking ICON 💪🏼
Simply a fantastic song

Tracy Chapman is a Legend
Beautiful moment ❤❤
Those who sing Tracy Chapman's song owe her a big thank you!!
Tracy Chapman's version of the song is the best Luke helped bring another generation to loving it but Tracy is the reason !!!!
She is soo very talented. I own her first 4 cds.
She is the greatest, that made it on her own, went through alot, and followed her dreams.
She owes nobody for a song she composed, wrote, sang and performed. Congrats Tracy Chapman. This song has been an anthem through 20 years of struggle..
I remember the first time I heard Chapman sing this on the radio. Some songs grow on you but I loved "Fast Car" immediately.
Awesome song, resonates the struggle !
Tracy Chapman is a goat ..I love the music make me feel better & light I side ..its like a country song
Tracy's an absolute legend
Tracy is special always will be. Amazing.
No! The song is secondary. We feel in love with the beautiful voice of Tracy Chapman!
greatest voice i've heard one of the hardest song to sing and tracy nailed it
Omg, this sent chills over over me. How exciting for Tracy!!!
I absolutely love this so much. You can see that her voice is trembling, and she’s shaking with fear and also trying to believe it in herself as she sings those words because she knows she deserves to be there.

Wow I love hearing her sing it live even better ❤
