    Amazing facts about this performance:
    1.) Luke gave Tracy absolute total control over the entire performance. Told her she called 100% of the shots.
    2.) Tracy only asked for all of her original band mates to be a part of the performance. That’s not Luke’s band. That’s not even the band Tracy has performed with for the few times she has appeared over the past 10 years. Every musician there from the drummer to the violinist was part of the original instrumental ensemble that Tracy had when she originally came out with this song over 30 years ago.
    3.) Tracy flew into Los Angeles to rehearse this song with Luke and the band, and as soon as this performance was over she left the building and was back in a plane to her home 2 hours later. She refused all interviews, signings, parties, and business offers. She said she came only to pay tribute to Luke.
    This is why this is an iconic performance. Absolute respect for the artistry here.

I had the great joy to hear her live in concert in Edinburgh. It's heartening to see the admiration in Mr. Combs' eyes as he frequently looks over to Ms. Chapman and beams a smile at her. He sings so movingly, the words of the song holding such meaning to him. It's a joyous coupling of worlds in these two singers. Thanks to both artists.

    Luke has treated his covering of this song so gracefully. He's paid respectful homage to Tracy's art and introduced a whole new generation to her greatness, never trying to portray ownership of the song one time. I've been a fan of Tracy's for so long, and I'm a new fan of Luke's, I'm just so happy for them both.

    Chapman’s voice has actually gotten sweeter over the years. How does that happen? The slight grittiness to her younger voice made the original recording even more touching, and I miss it. Still, an amazing duet.

    I remember the first time I heard Tracy sing this. 1984 at the Nameless Coffeehouse in Harvard Square Cambridge Mass. I was working as the light and sound tech, and she was a regular performer at the Nameless. My heart fell silent as I listened to her that night. She had released this song along with several others on a local label, and it was an instant local hit. When she won several Grammys 5 years later I was not surprised.
    She started out as a street musician in Harvard Square playing in the main entrance of the Co-op. It was an honor to have worked with her back then, and to see her reach the heights of fame. And here it is 40 years later, and as I sit here watching her perform my heart fell silent again. I am in complete awe of who she is.

    Seeing Tracy Chapman with gray hair dates me. I loved this song when it came out and like that Luke Combs honored the original.
