The emotion on her face when she starts singing and the audience cheering tells us everything about how it must have felt. Her voice is as EPIC as it ever was.
She looks exactly the same… actually better. She’s aged so gracefully/beautifully.
She is beautiful inside and out.
Amazing woman, inside and out. What an iconic, unique voice and talent.
Tracy Chapman is a National Treasure ✌🏻❤️
He is definitely in awe because this was his favorite song as a kid and now he's singing with her.
Exactly!
Yes. So true 👍
Chapman is so underrated,its a shame .She is absolutely amazing now & before 💗⭐
She is a legend! And still a beauty!
Definitely need to hear her original.. also “ Give me a reason “
Listen to all of them, THEY are ALL gems!
Her duet with Eric Clapton on Give Me One Good Reason is wonderful
Chapman is amazing. Lyrics and tune are unforgettable. Nice that Luke Combs joined her, but Tracy can carry this one by herself. So glad you covered this song. 👍
Tracy so unique...so sincere
Tracy strikes me as someone so sweet, pure, and natural, with a beautiful soul that comes out when she sings. I loved her music when we were both young, but I never realized what a stunning beauty she was (and she STILL is)! I guess I was too preoccupied with my own beauty back then, LOL!
Hi.Amsterdam here.
Tracy Chapman saved my life back in those years.
I was listening to this song and the other day checking in on a rehab faculty.
I'm still alive because of this song..
Thank you.
Is it me , but I think Tracy is just beautiful. That smile just kills...
I think Tracy is so naturally beautiful, and that her sweet beautiful soul comes through in her music...!! I was just saying I go back and watch her videos of when she was younger, and MY GOD she was so stunningly beautiful! But I was young and vain and too busy with my own beauty to notice as much then, but man, I am so glad to see it! What you see is what you get-in other words her beauty is soul deep and her beautiful soul is obvious and shines through in her performances and her smile- like the sunlight coming through the window in the morning!
Love the total respect that Luke has for Tracy!
She is into her sixties now, what a performer.
Actually she will be 60 on March 30th
As beautiful as ever
@@dg723254YES! The day before my mom's birthday! Something wonderful about Aries!! Happy Birthday beautiful Tracy!!
There's amazing story about her first big break. It was huge concert at Wembley Stadium in 1988. She got asked to step into time slot for canceled Stevie Wonder. She comes out with just herself and her guitar and started to play. The massive crowd was talking and not really interested in listening. But about 30 seconds into Fast Car the crowd started to quiet down. Slowly everyone got quiet to listen. By time song was done she had captivated entire audience. That's was her big break. She was in right place at right time.
Tracy Chapman is incredible! She is all class and talent. A true legend! Her 'Talkin About A Revolution' is also fantastic, and 'Give Me One Reason'...
Yes. Please react to her songs, "Give Me One Reason," & "Talking about a revolution." Love Tracy's soulfulness and how of herself she puts into her lyrics and storytelling. ❤❤
I think her voice is just as good as the original.
So do I!! Almost exactly!
Tracy is such a legend …, I could listen to her for ever !!
This was Luke's favorite all time song. What an honor for him.
I love the story of how his dad was a fan and played her cassette in his F150 until it wore out, and they had to get another! This was Luke's favorite song before he knew what a favorite song was! AWW!
Super jealous you saw Luke - I am becoming a bigger fan by the month! Luke has talked openly for a very long time about his reverence for TC and this song - it was the first cassette he remembers buying and still has it today! We should all find someone who looks at us the way Luke looks at Tracy 🙏🏻
I remember when Tracy came out in the 80’s. I was obsessed with her whole album. Love her own version but kudos to Luke for doing it justice!❤️❤️
Traci Chapman is such a badass!! I freakin love her voice and style. When that album hit, I was right there at the front of the line to pick it up. Please go listen to her studio version.
Maybe one of the best songs ever written.
WOW!..Good pick and reaction..Her voice still sounds great..His voice was also great🤘
You need to listen to her back in the day doing this song.
One of those songs that's just as good everytime you hear it.
listen to her entire debut album and your heart may burst!!!!
Tracy has a beautiful soul.
FOR SURE, do Tracy's "Gimme One Reason"...beautifully soulful!😍
Great Memories thx Tracy ❤
One of my favorites. Another favorite of mine is "Talking 'bout a Revolution." It's off of the same album (her debut album).
I love that one too! So many great songs!!
Tracy’s self-titled debut, for me (and many others), is one of the greatest debuts ever produced. Shot her to stardom overnight
Great reaction !! To be honest the original version by Tracy Chapman is still my favorite. Luke Combs is great and i'm glad he covered this song.
“Open Arms” is a beautiful song that was not popular on radio because it’s so personal. Also, “Baby Can I Hold You Tonight” and “Subcity” are more that were ignored by radio stations but should have been released. Her albums are treasures of music that had messages that those of us who appreciated her music can never forget. I saw her in a concert and felt it a privilege to hear her in person. Luke Combs seems a fan and clearly knows her work. ❤❤
Listen to "Give me one reason". The Promise is also a great one. Love Traci
Baby Can I Hold you live OMG!! And also the duet to "Baby Can I Hold You" with Luciano Pavarotti! Also Smoke and Ashes and For My Lover! There are so many!
YOU HAVE to do more Tracy Chapman! The Promise, Baby Can I hold you Tonight, Smoke And Ashes, For My Lover, and my dad used to play Give Me One Good Reason, on his guitar!! If you haven't heard her music, you are really missing out! Her other duet I love is Tracy with Luciano Pavorotti singing her song" Baby Can I Hold You" as a duet. Tracy might be my age (60, I think she is a year younger) But my goodness, she is still so beautiful! Her smile reveals the most beautiful soul and her voice is like butter.... and her songs always have a great message, or experience... DON"T MISS OUT!!
Tracy was a brusker in the Boston area in the early 80’s… I was in Harvard Square one afternoon watching her. A few months later she exploded onto the scene with this song. The soundtrack for many that year. This song was huge. Luke has said how much he just loved this song. This must have been quite the moment for him
Great story!
This was an amazing performance. It was a perfect cross of generations and cultures. Music tends to do that. Thank you both.
Her first record-front to back-is amazing.
Need to listen to the studio version with just her singing.
Luke was honored that Tracy was willing to come sing this with him at the Grammy’s!! Tracy Chapman created a masterpiece with this song and her and Luke won a Country award for this song
Tracy also won a Country music Award for this song, thanks to Luke! Best Country song by an artist- and they gave her a standing ovation at the Country music awards! She is well respected everywhere!
@@leahartlee29 I knew they both won an award I just didn’t know what is what for, I think Luke did a great cover of this song
It's hard to describe what this song means to the world of music. It's like Tracy and the song have a whole different life, beyond what it means to the music industry. There's a video (probably multiple) of young Tracy Chapman singing this, with nothing else in the shot, other than a faint light that kept moving from left to right, than back again, across her face. It's an extremely moving experience. Tracy herself walked away from the industry, shortly after the turn of the century. She's been a very private, almost secluded, person since. For this performance, she arrived just minutes before going on stage. She left immediately after the performance.
You gotta hear her sing Baby Can I Hold You with the great Pavarotti.
One of my favorites!
Wow, her voice is still incredible 😊
Tracy had so many good songs, and I am glad to see her getting some recognition. Luke does a good job also.
My favorite part is seeing how excited he is to be singing with her ❤ his smile says it all!
This was her one big song. This was one of those performance where time just stopped for a moment. After all these years she got to have a reemergence into the limelight was so cool.
First time seeing this. I've only seen the Tracy Chapman original video.
I love her voice ❤
Their voices are beautiful together
I’m not sure how many Grammys Tracey has but I’m sure it’s probably less than she deserves
FORGET HOW GREAT THE PERFORMANCE WAS...AND IT WAS.....But it was that look of genuine joy on Tracy's face, early on, that made the whole thing beyond priceless......Pure joy.
Still gorgeous
If anyone hasn't heard her album New Beginning you're new homework is to run, don't walk, to hear it start to finish. It's a life-changer.
This song just transports me back through time when I close my eyes. And it being sung by Tracy Chapman today…what a privilege.
Edit: and I love Luke’s version and his voice. Not to diminish him, he is a talented artist.
Luke did this on a album and that made Tracy popular again.
you need to react to tracys version !!
Fookin nice☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
I have only heard this by Tracy Chapman! Great song! She has a beautiful voice, very unique!❤❤
5 months ago had no idea who luke combs was and heard all the hooplah about this "fast car" cover like but many this performance duet has become a fave😢and now checkin for other luke combs songs & Tracy has been fave artist since her debut album "1988" I'm checking some of her stuff I didn't know of as well
Great reaction, Sam and Phil! I really enjoyed this performance. I've not heard Luke much before, but he and Tracy matched each other perfectly. I remember hearing this song when Tracy first released it. I bought her first two CDs when they each came out and played them to death.
Tracy Chapman is just amazing. In this performance you can tell that it is her song and he just sings it.
Great reaction!! I've loved this track from first release in 1988. She sings/depicts a perfect story - amazing songwriter (this and many other songs). This performance is magic. You can tell Luke is starstruck and just honoured to be performing with this legend - and he definitely let her have the spotlight - pure class! Her smile could (and did) light up the room! What a beautiful woman.
I'm not a huge country fan, but his version is great, and it's awesome that it's brought a new and fresh popularity to Chapman's song, now 35 years old! This hit the feels just right. Cheers!
Thanks for this..Watched it during the Grammys but seeing it again is nice.
Luke looked super stoked to he up there with one of his fave artist
Tracy's original is an absolute classic! This version maintains the vibe so well. 1976. 3 AM and starting to mellow. Toss on Joan Armatrading's, self-titled album. Love and Affection, just so good. Tracy was heavily influenced.
This is one of my top favorite duets. Somewhat on the other end of the emotional spectrum is a duet by Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty, "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around".
Sam nailed it!! This is a great duet, I've never heard Luke's version, but Tracy does sound much more subdued in this than in her original version.
More Tracy please.
Tracy's 60th birthday is on March 30th this year.
Dig deeper into Tracy Chapman. "Gimme One Reason" is a fantastic song.
You should listen to some of Tracy’s other songs starting with The Promise, Across The Lines, Baby Can I Hold You, Talkin’ Bout A Revolution.
The original song was huge in its time. (Released in 1988) Nice to see her out and about collaborating on this. Been just a bit more than 25 years.
Tracy's Baby Can I Hold You is my absolute favorite of hers. And … her live versions are so much better than her studio versions
This song and Flowers (Miley Cyrus) were THE highlights of the Grammys! No question!
The most heartbreaking song I"ve ever heard, the final verse is the final nail.
I read that before this performance, his cover had made her around $500k in royalties.
Fun fact about the original. For the longest time I always thought it was a guy singing with a higher pitched voice.
The surprise when I figured out it was a gal. Probably should've figured that out earlier since the lyrics mentions a girl.
Tracy was born on March 30th (like me) however she was born in 1964 (and I was born in 1969)
I like that Luke Combs understood the lyrics and he didn't feel the need to change the gender-specific lyrics and literally said he'd get a job as a check-out "girl...".
I was always sad that Tracy’s active period was so short. I think she had a lot more to offer.
I don’t necessarily see the lyrics as all sad. It IS sad, but it also takes me back to my early twenties, being young, engaged, and poor. It was a difficult life, but there was an optimism to it. We worked hard, but everything was a possibility.
Due to the popularity of Luke's cover, Tracy Chapman became the first African American woman to win the CMA country music writer of the year (2023)!
“See my old man has a problem.
Lives wirh the bottle, it’s just the way it is.
Says “The body’s too old for workin’, body’s too young to look like his.”
My mama went off and left him,
Wanted more from life than he could give.
Somebody’s got to take care of him.
So I quit school and that’s what I did.”
Heartbreaking lyrics. And the man the character in the song ended up with was just the same. Listen closely
You guys should definitely check out “ give me one reason” w/ Tracy Chapman and Eric Clapton
She's a great singer. Do Big Yellow Taxi
Luke Combs did not change the song. He sang it straight up
You can tell Luke had to dial back some so he didn’t over power Tracy it was a respect thing he want her to be the main voice
Note the twinkle in both of their eyes..Luke is beyond being their with Tracey..
As someone who was around and lucky enough to see Tracy live in the 80s when she arrived on rhe scene, i find it amusing ghat your perspective ob this song is from the Luke Combs angle.
To me, this will always be Tracys song and Combs version is 'just' a cover
Also, I dont see this as a song of hooe and agency as you infer. Its a very very sad song abouut hiw difficult it is to break out of established cycles. The protaginist in the song ends up in the same situation that fhey were running from in the first place. Truly depressing.
I'm a huge country fan, but I prefer Tracy's original rendition of Fast Car.
Lol this was a song in 1988 that stopped the world, Luke has a good voice but Tracey is a legend, Taylor Swift is in the video singing the song word for word, enough said, hail hail to Ms Chapman
The song is very sad. It’s about the often inescapable cycle of poverty. She has to forego her high school degree to take care of her dad. Sit down with the lyrics and you’ll see. She’s also with a deadbeat boyfriend who is just like her dad. At the end, she tells him to take his “ fast car” and drive off.
its a love song...
You should do the song give me one reason by Tracy Chapman next
Not taking anything away from Luke, my personal opinion I prefer Tracy singing this solo hands down every time.
You should listen to blinded by the lights by Manfred Manns earth band. You'll love it. Great transformation
🎶Hell or Highwater 🎶William Elliott Whitmore
No harmonies, which is the only thing this performance is lacking. It would have made what is already great even better. I love hearing the crowd react to them realizing that it's Tracey onstage. Also, since first hearing it, love that Luke didn't feel the need to do anything with his cover of the song: he just loved it, so he just sang it. The violin and slide guitar are about all you get, as far as him "country-fying" it, and they sound great, but not a lot of changes. They both sound terrific, and as you watch, Luke is barely containing himself not to freak out that he's getting to sing the song he loved listening to in his dad's truck as a kid with the woman who first wrote and sang it, which is pretty priceless.
I will never understand why reactors watch the remake before the original. The original Tracy Chapman song is beautiful and the video is awesome.
I didn't care for Comb's country affections in his vocalizations (sounds put-on), but this is still a great duo.
Her voice is silky smooth. Still. But her live versions, including this one, are always better.
3 Grammys
Guys you nessed up. This is definately not the original version, this is at the grammys just recently...
Only person who messed up was you. They said it wasn't the original and that it was from the Grammy. Pull your head out of your posterior.
Thanks for clarifying.@@e.jamesshepard7183
Anybody can sing country.
You really needed to watch Tracie original live performance so much better then this
