This young man never disappoints no matter what he does. I think he put his feelings about this song and performance with Tracy in perspective for those of us wondering how much respect he has for her as a person and artist.
What a lovely fellow he is? I did not know him and just saw him for the first time on the Grammys! But I certainly know that song, and like Luke, Fast Car has been a part of so many lives and Tracy is a prolific performer. Luke is humble and honest, you cannot buy that. Love his version, love hers of course and LOVE the live performance at the Grammys. What a gift.
Luke is awesome, he's turned out mighty fine! When Luke mentored the Asheville, NC music group Holts Dad through the Y2K era and they made it, I knew he would too! Many more, treat them babies right!
I said this on another video but the song is one of the best ever written, watching her showed just what a great writer she is and the cheers from the crowd was fantastic, seeing the few artist standing and singing along, RESPECT, but to me the beat part was that smile on Tracy's face, more precious than anything on earth.
Some songs just work into your soul ...I get it !! You did a great job and I also love Fast Car ( and The Promise) ..respect to you Luke❤ BTW..I am a 73 year old hippie as they called us. Always love Tracey🎶🎶🎶🎶
@katbow5922 BTW...You go GIRL!! Right there with you at 65 yrs. old...great song, GREAT performance by BOTH of them!! A-1 CLASS ACT Luke Combs....and Tracy Chapman, better than ever!!! Thank you both for that unexpected, and very, very memorable moment on the Grammys--BEST act EVER!!! 😀
You Luke Sir, Are The Main Man. Thank You For Giving Credit Where Credit Due To The Incredible, Awesome, Brilliant Artist That Is Tracey Chapman. STILL HUMBLE LUKE. You Are An Absolute Super Human Being. Thank You And Ms Chapman For The Best Performance At The Grammy's. Still Have Tears In My Eyes After Watching It A 100 Times Or More.
Luke should not receive a reward for a song that was wildy written and performed by an amazing artist. This is Tracy Chapman's song forever and always.
This shows what a nice young man he is, what a fantastic song this has always been but sadly also how broken the music business is when the single of the year is an admittedly very well executed cover.
Give Tracy the award. She deserves it. How many years did it take her to get the standing ovation for that song. You helped bring her forward to sing it BUT she deserves the award. She earned it. It’s her story. Step up and do the right thing.
How old are you? That song was a HUGE hit when it was out. Also, Tracy Chapman willingly left the spotlight. Go look up interviews with her. I agree though that artists should not be able to receive grammys for songs that are not original with the exception of sampling. She is also most likely receiving a surge in sales again because of this cover much like Dolly Parton did when Whitney covered "I will always love you".
@@b.c.islandgal..6772 Tracy Chapman won Song of the Year at the 2023 Country Music Awards because she wrote Fast Car. If Luke Combs hadn’t released Fast Car and became a hit on the country charts, Tracy wouldn’t have won the Country Music Awards.
She has the royalties and now, another grammy nod. He doesn't take but; gives credit to her and her songwriting etc. Yet the cma was for his recording/take on it. Folks sure didn't begrudge whitney fir blowing up I will Always Love You. Least of all, Dolly Parton.
Why cover brilliance? Award by plagarism. Awards should be for originality, not copying/modifying a world class song. An award for cheating, yes. Devalues the whole awards scenario - absolutely. He's humble on someone elses words, probably from a situation that he knows nothing of. Want to be great? GET YOUR OWN IDEAS, covers are not great
Do you know how many iconic hits were written by other people? If an artist appreciates a piece of music, one of the greatest compliments they can give is to cover it and cover it well. On the Tom Petty Sirius XM station they play covers that Tom did of other great artists and covers other artists did of his music. It's a beautiful thing and we should be grateful they do this and share such performances with us.
I agree all credit where it is due, but covers are artistically significant too. House of the Rising Sun---I don't even need to say the artist--is a cover. Twist and Shout by the Beatles is a cover. I Love Rock N' Roll. Respect by Aretha Franklin. Girls Just Wanna have fun. Hurt. It goes on. Do I prefer the original? Absolutely. But your point is a bad one.
Listen, Tracy Chapman is making a ton of money off of this cover. That and her original version of the song was back on the charts due to this cover. She also won an award for it, 35 years after it was released. Instead of acting all self righteous and gatekeeping something that isn't yours, stop and think about the wonderful things this cover is bringing Tracy

Luke got his chance on the Grammys and gave Tracy all the love she deserves. The reverence he has for her is heartfelt and lovely.
Pure adoration in his eyes looking at her
Yeah well said. I feel the same way about this song and I’m glad she is getting the exposure again. You can tell he’s being sincere.
I completely agree.. I'm a big Luke Combs fan now.. the duet with Tracy was so powerful..
He is a humble man and shows so much respect for Tracy Chapman. No BS no flashy just pure humbleness.
What a respectful man
So beautifully said. Their performance at the Grammy’s was the best in years!!!
I appreciate how this puts Tracy Chapman back in the spotlight. Luke is cool too.
Yes, not many artists would do such a thing
A true artist talking about another true artist.
At this we all need to see this
I have new respect for him. His excitement and adoration for Tracy showed when they were on stage.
The sweetest thing I've seen in years!
Just wow! He was beautifully rewarded. They collaborated at the Grammys.❤❤❤
Classy human.

Same here. Thank you for expressing it so well.
You stay classy, Luke Combs! ❤
Luke Combs has so much class
Thank you Luke in addition to your own achievements as a performer
God bless the legend Tracy Chapman

thanks to Tracy
very likeable man.
You Luke Sir, Are The Main Man.
Thank You For Giving Credit Where Credit Due To The Incredible, Awesome, Brilliant Artist That Is
Tracey Chapman.
STILL HUMBLE LUKE.
You Are An Absolute Super Human Being.
Thank You And Ms Chapman For The Best Performance At The Grammy's.
Still Have Tears In My Eyes After Watching It A 100 Times Or More.
Beautifully expressed.👏🏼👏🏼
so authentic
He nailed it ❤❤❤❤
Beautiful song; can't take anything away from the performance. I hope people don't try some type of issue out of this awesome performance.
A beautiful soul! He truly loves the song.
She is awsome,, loved her since young!!!a natural❤
love luke combs... what a well grounded man and talented singer and musician
So humble and honest.
Hope for the US yet.
Too bad she wasn't there with you Luke. that would yave been very cool. Maybe you can do a co-write with her

Classy.
It is about lost hope and how alcoholism ruins familys, MENTION THAT!
No need when the song does that so beautifully.
Lost hope? More like driven hope. No pun intended.
It’s also about getting out of that cycle. I’m an alcoholic (sober 36 years) daughter of alcoholic parents and the song has always meant hope to me.
This is why he is a popular cross genre in music!
❤❤❤❤❤

Tried to sing and play, makes me laugh, not as easy as it seems , no, not at all easy.
The event planners came from NASCAR. The future of country music,look at NASCAR. Slowly dissolving away. So sad to see this happen.
Country singers covering pop songs. Pop songer naking country songs. Id there any country anymore.
Give Tracy the award. She deserves it. How many years did it take her to get the standing ovation for that song. You helped bring her forward to sing it BUT she deserves the award. She earned it. It’s her story. Step up and do the right thing.

Tracy also got an award fir that same the same night that Luke git the award. She was not there and so a written messafe was read out loud.
What are you , 17 years old? This song was huge when she put it out and she won 3 Grammys when this son was out. Try educating yourself first
He won an award for singing a song that was a massive hit for Tracy 35 years ago?!? Bizarre. Such PC crap.
MAGA are everywhere. Did you miss the Ted Nugent section or something?
He was nominated for the Grammys for Best Country Solo Performance for Fast Car but he lost to Chris Stapleton.
It’s a cover of her song. Just like Whitney Houston won for Dolly Parton’s “I will always love you”.

Want to be great? GET YOUR OWN IDEAS, covers are not great
Would you have said this in 2003 when Johnny Cash won the same CMA "Single of the Year" award with his cover of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt"?
