    Tracy is SO beautiful. Yeah, physically she is gorgeous, but her passion, and the way she has presented herself over the years is just beautiful. There's no bullshit about this Lady. She sings from the heart. She's performed with legends like Eric Clapton, BB King, and even Luciano Pavarotti, yet remains SO humble, grounded, and true to her beliefs. What an amazing woman !

    This lady is the real deal. She started out singing on the streets of Cambridge MA singing for spare change. Look where she's gone....and see the real sadness in her eyes. She's known poverty, rejection, near-starvation--and finally recognition and redemption. Nothing fake about her...the real deal.

      You are so insightful regarding Tracy. I have followed her career also for many years. Love her work, where she has come from building her life. The pain in her eyes has been seeking redemption for so long. She is a beautiful soul!

    Yvonne - thanks for your comment about Joan Armatrading and Tracy Chapman. I love them both dearly but have only seen Joan live - in 1976.She opened for Supertramp at a serious rock concert and she started with no one paying attention,but within the space of one song she had the entire audience mesmerized. I don't think that Tracy could do that.
    You realise that she had to come to the UK to become famous and only then could she go back to the US and be successful. Thanks for the chat.

    An amazing, beautiful rperformance.I grew up in the 1950s listening to Elvis, Chuck Berry etc. I am always moved by the direction and depth of some of the music today. Tracy seems to cut deep into your mind w/ songs like this that take you on a soul searching journey.The song has been performed by so many artists but this version seems to stand out. jm

    Tracy was such a fanatic person to have made the songs she made and she went too soon, she was great as she relived the music I grew up on wow and this was an example thanks.
