Crazy to me how "Fast Car" managed to stay relevant after all these years. It's a testament of how beautiful and poetic Tracy Chapman's songwriting and performances are. Seeing her perfomance at the grammys made me cry. This song will continue to reach new generations and audiences because that's just how timeless it is!
It’s because so far poverty and hopelessness has existed in every generation.
The lyrics are as relevant today as they were the first time Ms Chapman sang them.
Atemporal songs,
Boa tarde ,ela é Maravilhosa sou muiitoooofã dela
Que Voz lindaaaa
You can see in Luke's face that he is living his childhood dream. Singing his favorite song with Tracy Chapman at the Grammys. Good job kid, you made it
I felt this with him! Just amazing humility and respect!!
So proud of him.
Yes. Thats the "I made it" face
Awesome
That, and he also knows what he's singing about, even though they aren't his words. He understands what this song is about, and what an honor it is to be performing it live with the woman who wrote it.
Luke respects her and it shows.
The respect he shows her. The grace she shows him. The love the crowd shows them both. The performance they made together. It's perfect in every way.
I dare the DC mob (Washinton congress) to sit down, watch this, and NOT start singing along. Those that actually don't? Well then it'll be easy to know who NOT to vote for.
Well said. He never tried to out sing her either. Such a great performance.
Tracy chapman aged like fine wine
Indeed..she's beautiful
I’ll confess, I did not know that she was still alive.
Love those dimples!
Money has a tendency to do that
Like a very fine wine.
She’s holding back tears as the crowd roars. She’s a total gem. They got this right. ❤
Yes, I did too
Yes! I have missed her performing.. 🙏🏽 she comes back.
They sure did! Seeing her again was the most wonderful moment of the night.Tracy is amazing and Luke admired her for years. They were great!
Poignant, Lovely.. reminiscing with joy❤
Gives me goosebumps seeing the emotion on her face.... everytime
She looks and sounds great. I think she assumed we’d all forgotten about her. No, Tracy, we didn’t forget.
Amen to that!❤
..like not EVER!!
How is it possible that she somehow sounds even BETTER now? I listened to this album a million times when it came out and her voice has acquired a little bit of rasp and patina and it adds warmth to the sound.
And her voice goes great with Luke's rich baritone.
I don't think a month has gone by since the early 90's that this song hasn't been in my tape deck, in my CD player, on my mp3 player, or now in my playlist.
The music industry forgot about her until it became fashionable and on trend to remember her.
Dear god she's even more beautiful now. What an ageless gem of a human. We're all so lucky to be alive at the same time as Tracy Chapman.
Your comment is just perfect, just like everything about this this song and the two people singing it.
Was thinking the same. She's simply ageless
@@LasloPferg-ru2vt Yes we are.
My first thought!!!!
YES YES YES YES YES
You can tell she’s waited 40 years for this moment. And then there’s Luke. The way he looks at her while’s she’s singing like he can’t believe this is happening makes me cry every time.
Me too honey. Me too.
She has not waited 40 years. She won many Grammys in the late 80's and early 90's for her records.
@@EchoBravo370 Grammys don’t make this moment any more special. She has never performed in front of this many celebrities in one place with every one of them singing her song. She can have 2,000,000 Grammys. This is the happiest I have ever seen her in a live performance.
@@Taylorbabii don't forget Tracy Has performed with best of the best of from springsteen/ Pavorrotti / BB King / Eric Clapton etc....she stop touring like 2009 so its been a while since she'sperformed anywhere but she is a well seasoned pro !!! and this still is a gem for the books !!!
It made me cry
Probably one of the best performances of the Grammys...ever. They didn't need a lot of musicians, dancers, or backup singers. Just the two of them singing from their hearts was all that was needed. The respect Luke showed for Tracy was priceless. Just what this country and world needs!
ummm oook great ur right but they had 5 + members playing in the band so its was alot of musicians .. but luke can carry any thing great performance by the lady to
Exactly how music supposed to be i had the same thoughts
@@redshot1015 That's actually not a lot of musicians. I think the point was that the overall performance was stripped back with the vocals of Tracy and Luke being forward in the mix. It's one of the rare occasions where the Grammys live show actually got the mix right. It wasn't flash, or bombastic, or overly produced. It was just a very simple, competent performance by two talented individuals.
It was, for a lot of reasons, the best performance of the night.
Just WOW! Such an amazing performance
@@redshot1015 why bickering about how many musicians were performing? People like you miss the point about art.
The way Luke centred Tracy at every opportunity should be admired
He and his team gave her 100% creative control over this collaboration. They also wanted to highlight her above all else. ❤
Yes! Loved that, as well as his looks of adoration, disbelief that he was up on stage singing with her, and her almost constant grin and obvious pleasure.
This is what struck me the most. He could have overpowered her. But he had the humility to back her up instead
he just kept staring at her all the time and miming the words as she was singing them it almost made it unwatchable
@@phanders6236 It's called staying in sync.
Luke Combs, thank you for bringing Tracy back to us.
Back? She never left my world. Meanwhile, I don’t know who this guy is. 🤷♂️
@@andrewbonicahe's a country singer 🎉
@@marysaum2213 kinda figured from the sound of his voice. 😂
Amen my brother!
@bobsmead1728 Yes 🙌🏽 ❤❤❤❤
Who else got chills before the song when the crowd started cheering and MISS TRACY had the biggest uplifting laugh! She’s getting the recognition she’s deserved after sooo many years and felt that in that very moment!
ME
Exatamente! Me arrepiei
@justinwinkeler8653 NOPE she was recognized by multiple awards in 1988 when the song was originally released
.
Ironic that the best performance of the Grammys of the past 20 years doesn't have any of dancers, crazy outfits, pyrotechnics and nothing of that stuff that put music in the second term. A reminder that you only need true musicians singing from the heart.
A lot of today’s music doesn’t have a soul.
Timberlake and Chris Stapleton still beat this one. Not that it’s a competition. Both great. But difference is that one was unexpected. Everyone knows Chapman is a GOAT ya feel me?
From all i read from the event, only now o realize this happened... wow... something good... great
Unreal.It's so hard , so much talent 90%of the video ...
Zero respect .
I blame the artists.
daft punk with stevie wonder was the best
This what the Grammy should be about. Timeless songwriting, timeless talent. Beautiful music. Period.
It used to be just like this....maybe the people who run the GRAMMY show will see what happened with this performance and get a clue.
Maybe.
Exactly!!!
Academy awards take note. Timeless. Transcendent. Not political.
I wish! Now they reward garbage like Taylor Swift and Mylie Virus. This is true musicianship!
milie virus😂😂😂@@backintheday3097
Luke can’t help singing along, no one can. This song is a legend. They don’t need stadium light, they have Tracy Chapman’s smile.
Anyone who grew up with this song, knows how powerful this performance was. WOW!
💖
Yup IV watched it more than a couple times
Tracy's smile, how she keeps looking at Luke, the shy vibe, the respect from Luke, the attending celebs belting the lyrics. Everything about this is just beautiful.
🤨hmmm......we clearly did not watch the same video. Unless it's opposite day in your world? 🤔
Indeed! Lovely!
@@silkysifaka1908And you look miserable doing you.
Your a wordsmith. And I'm normally anti-cover but this is outstanding. my fav cover is Elton John and George Michael 'don't let the sun go down on me'
@@silkysifaka1908this is doing you 🤢
Big respect to Luke for showing that you can preform competently with an idol of yours and fan-out at the exact same time.
You could kinda tell he was just constantly telling himself "sing like the big man you actually are, not like the little boy you feel like you are in your hero worshipping head."
Imagine standing on stage with her as she starts that guitar strum she's done 100,000 times ...
Yes, their voices compliment each other perfectly ❤ Beautiful performance
Yep!🎉❤
@@Iknowrite411fr they harmonize so well
Who woulda thought. From being sung this song as a young boy. To singing it yourself, then performing the song of your childhood with your idol who made it. LOL life goes crazy.
It is April, and here I am: rewatching this wonderful performance.
Just saw it for the first time a few days ago, and it's been on loop since!
I've watched it almost daily! It's sooo good!
Same
I keep coming back too
We all.are back over n over & watching the reactions n comments new school and us old schoolers alike 😅😮😢🎉😂
How do you listen to this song and not shed a tear. It's about hope and hopelessness, pride and pain. Cuts to the quick, thank you Tracy Chapman.
the bit about her father always gets to me..
lived with the bottle that's what he did..mama went off and left him..I quit school to take care of him..
A young girl's life and future taken away from her in those few sentences. Her desperation to get away then ending up with someone the same as her father.
gets me every time.😢
This performance should be nominated for a Grammy for best duet performance.
Yes, yes yes! so perfect, the 2 of them.
I wouldn’t go that far
@@nataliedigiovanni4863 I would. It is better than most songs that DID win recently. Need we bring up "GIRLS!" by Beyonce? A song where she yelled out 5 words to a beat and still needed 40 producers?
@@nataliedigiovanni4863this duet will be timeless…I second this, amongst best performances ever.
They sounded SO GOOD together. Their voices really complimented each other.
All that GLITZ and GLAMOUR got blown away by a class act of two very talented people quietly telling a timeless story in the form of "Fast Car". 100% BEST at the Grammys in YEARS!!!
Plain, Stripped down as the song was intended. Perfect.
No fakers there. Just good music.
I loved the lack of electronics in the instrumentals. So soothing, and mellow. Not there's anything wrong with electronical music...🙂
👏👏👏
Didn't you miss the usual 20 dancers trying to distract from the lack of talent ? LOL. @@user-gf4rq1js2n
The look on her face when she first starts to sing is priceless. She had a beautiful glow
I have loved this woman, since I first heard her. She spoke to my heart with her music. I would sit in my car to avoid my husband, I was young but I felt I had someone who knew my story as well as I knew theirs. Watching this clip, bought back all my feelings of when I was young and alone in a loveless marriage. I still love this gorgeous woman who gave voie to my heart.
Ms. Debbie, I hope you are doing well, and things have gotten better for you... GOD Bless You 🙏.
Also, the fact that Luke Combs is awestruck that he is singing with Tracy Chapman and it shows every second of this.
Brings tears to my eyes watching the two of them and their reactions to each other.
Notice his hands “playing” guitar along with her?This was the BEST Grammy Performance!!
Maravilloso
I also noticed during the chorus he decrease his voice level to not supress her. Too much respect!
He was nervous and killed it, honestly this performance is so wholesome I love it so much , Billy Joel is my favourite singer but this is the best thing ever
She still sounds as great as she did 36 years ago. And the twinkle in her eyes......... She knew she wasn't forgotten. And to see Luke sing with her........ He was living in the moment.
Wait ... what ???? Is it 36 years ago already ???? 😱
Lol! How true! 😂🤣🥲😢
And that gorgeous smile
That twinkle In her eyes omg 🥹🥹💖
When you see her smile, and even when the cameraman zooms into her hands. I couldn’t help but get emotional especially since I think every can relate to this song in some capacity when she first released it.
Two people who seem so different externally, but united by their love of music and their respect for each other as artists. Music can be so healing in this divisive world.
Beautifully Expressed and So Very True! ❤
It's really a beautiful story of someone admiring the work of someone else and paying tribute to that person.
"leave tonight or live and die this way" is such a deep and powerful lyric.
Yes it is.
Totally, resonates with me!❤❤❤❤❤
yes! I loved how she used this one line to address two different situations in the song. Outstanding!
So true
The whole song is a crusher ... just smashes your heart.
Her voice has NOT changed, her blush was hands down beautiful as her. Beautiful
Hope to heaven she finds Jesus before she passes.
Black folk dont blush
@BufordTJustice304 LOL, black folks actually do, especially black women, you're not one nor have you ever made a black girl or woman blush, so you wouldn't know 😂
@BufordTJustice304 😂😂 im black.
Facts!!
Tracy is glowing, look at the joy in her eyes.
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 love how he’s performing but still wants to be that fan watching Tracy perform.
I love how he was silently singing along while she was singing.
This right here.
He looks like an audience member pulled on stage to sing with the band! It was absolutely adorable! 💝
Love it! And I am not a country fan and had no idea who he was until I heard his cover of the song.
Tracy is beautiful
One of the best live performances of all time, the grammys got something right with this one.
Yeah so take that jay z 💪
Oh yeah. What a moment. I was pleasantly surprised to see Tracy perform this great song
True that.
Easily a top 10 Grammy moment
@markgalbraith9139 more like top 5.
I would really love for this version to be released. They sound amazing together. My favorite song of the year!!!!!!
Imagine your idol performing their song and you get to be up there and sing along with them. So good.
Omg I would freak
Out for reals if Dolly or Reba let me sing with ether of them i would be starstruck
Luke is looking at Tracy like “did I do good mama”. He is awestruck and I don’t blame him one bit. Living his dream fr
💝💞🩷💕💖🌹💐🌷
Tracy Chapman is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you Luke Combs for bringing this song back 35+ years later.
I was just saying to a friend after this that she's one of those people that has become more handsome with age
Is she not one of the most stunningly beautiful people you have ever seen? Its her face and her beautiful voice but also she radiates joy.
She is absolutely gorgeous! Her voice, guitar, & performance absolutely perfect. We can all only aspire to age that well.
Tracy looks just amazing. She's aging so beautifully & she obviously doesn't need to resort to fillers, Botox or any other means to hide her aging.
I said that secretly as a metal head in 1989 but now, I’m proud to say “Damn Tracy, you are gorgeous!” 😎👍♥️
Luke never changed anything about the song he wanted it to be like the original out of respect and his admiration for Tracy. To see the duet is awesome!
This performance sure makes all those people look ridiculous that made all those ridiculous comments about Luke covering it. You can see how much this song means to him and how special this moment is for him. I very rarely listen to the radio cause todays music isn’t my thing. But I was driving home from work yesterday with my 10 year old son because it was bring your kid to work day and this came over the radio. Always loved this song and i have it certain special memories because of it, but it was my first time hearing Luke’s cover and I thought it was beautiful. Led me down this rabbit hole leading me here and reading about all the bs drama prior to this moment on stage. Simply put it was perfect and it’s obvious how special this shared performance was
No pyrotechnics, no backup dancers and prancers, no tricks. Just old-fashioned, straight-from-the-heart music. Thanks, Tracy, for the gifts you gave us 30something years ago, and thanks to Luke for helping us remember what great music sounds like.
Well F'ing said. Just a beautiful, tear inducing performance of a beautiful, tear inducing song.
I was connecting about this to a coworker...I miss the days where the music and musicians were enough, because they were truly talented and the music meant something
Everyone wins with this collaboration. Tracy. Luke. And those of us who had the privilege to listen.
And everyone seems to be just intently listening
That’s music. Not a circus show!!! That’s why…Period.
The grin on Tracy's face when she hears the cheers from the crowd intensify when they realize it's her just melts my heart. This entire performance brings tears and chillbumps. This has to be one of the greatest Grammy performances of all-time.
yesssssssssssss!! Well said
🎯
Exactly! I hope it inspires her to make more music seeing how many people appreciate her 🤞🏻 haha
Amen to that. This performance is a true gem in time.
Me too phenomenal
今年のグラミーで一番心に残ったパフォーマンス
Best duet ever. She's a legend. He's terrific. What a performance. Leaves me speechless each time I see and listen to it.
You can tell that Luke gave credit where credits is due.
It feels like such a rarity amongst the big egos of major recording artists.
And having the time of his life too.
Not to mention you can tell on Luke's face how this song and moment both speak to him
Lol he's friggin fanboying and lip syncing her parts. She's definitely a musical inspiration of his.
Agreed 👍
Two humble artists, unlike some that were in that room
When the crowd realizes that it is THE Tracy Chapman, my heart
That did not happen in this video. But you're welcome to try again. 😐
@@silkysifaka1908clearly you didn’t watch the show.. it’s only a short clip go away
@@hc4110 lolololololol 🤣👍
I watched enough to know what I'm saying is true.
What a top individual Luke was showing Tracy the respect she deserves was awe struck by him singing with a legend
What a beautiful performance! When I feel down and need to cry, I come back to this performance and the tears flow. One of the best live performances in recent memory
I grew up with this song, I don’t know that guy, but I’ve never seen anyone with the original singer so respectful, modest and appropriate. Much respect to him
Luke Combs is the guy
You and I are in the same boat. It's such a beautiful song.
My exact thoughts, I keep watching because it’s just so wholesome ❤❤❤
I thought exactly this. He's clearly having one of the great moments of his life and he's absolutely respectful. This is the video that should be in the manual under "how to perform a duet with the original artist".
He is clearly fangirling! And I love how clearly you can see the admiration and respect for her in his eyes!
it's not that she still got it, it's that she never lost it. NEVER. Tracy is and always will be a legend
AMÉN 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
So true my friend. So true.
THIS!!!
35 years and still sounds good
Thank you Tracy ❤.
Luke Combs is the only one that Tracy Chapman has allowed to cover this song and he did a phenomenal job and with them both on stage he looks at her like am I doing it right because he wants to do it perfectly because the song he grew up loving by her it's probably one dream that finally came true other than being a country music artist
There are other well-known versions of this song, including the very successful versions by Tobtok and Jonas Blue. Are you saying that they were recorded without Tracy Chapman‘s permission?
You know what I like about this duet? You can tell that Combs respected Chapman immensely. You get impression that he knows he's singing HER song, and that he's singing WITH her. It seems like, when new artists attempt to perform songs with the original artist, the new artists is performing the song like they wrote it.
Agree and well put.
Exactly, he’s humble. I love that.
He was so proud to sing this song with her. Loved it!
Fr 💯👍🏾
Even when he re recorded it he kept the same story and everything including the “check out GIRL” part which always gave me a chuckle hearing his burly voice say but I knew (and own) the original
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.
It really is so cool. It's also just super genuine. One great artist paying homage to another and keeping the flame alive with soulful purpose. Truly special.
Perfectly stated, I 💯...chills every time I watch this performance!❤️😊
You can tell Luke was in awe the entire time. Couldn’t keep his eyes off of Tracy.
we would love to be in the same room as such a legend and hats of to Luke he was so respectful
In this day and age we need more of Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs their performance was so touching it is a therapy for our sick Nation
I don’t watch the Grammy awards because the music I listen to usually isn’t featured or awarded. But, I heard about this performance and finally got around to giving it a watch. All I can say is WOW.
I saw Chapman perform when this song was originally released and it’s great to see a new generation discover it. The lyrics are timeless and will probably be rediscovered by succeeding generations.
MAGNIFICENT....music that makes your spirit fly
It’s so cool how Tracy looks so relaxed like she’s playing at her local pub. Legend
Watch her play Wembley stadium in 1988. Makes this audience look like a local pub! Timeless genius ♥️
Tracy is a legend for sure!
Luke couldn't believe that he was singing with THE Tracy Chapman. He was like a kid on Christmas!
Yes! It is cute 🥹
I like Luke’ s version but the thing that makes me love this song so much is Tracy’s beautiful voice.
She's so beautiful❤ that twinkle in her eyes is everything❤❤❤
You can see the pure joy and happiness on Luke's face getting the opportunity to sing this song with his idol....he very clearly enjoyed every second of this duet...
He looks ar her with such respect and "I can't believe she's right there and this is really happening"
Don’t act like you know things
@@carterhull3586 uh...huh? Please clarify. I mean..it sounds like you don't like what I said but I'm not exactly sure and if so I'm not sure why. You can read it on the mans face and if you know the story...this was one of his all time favorite songs ever. So again I say...please clarify what you were trying to say.
Can you imagine... I would have died.. literally...or the world could have ended after that and I would have been ok.
He’s a grifter.
For one fleeting moment, the world came together to enjoy this performance.
sadly it was fleeting. if only we could keep this moment for years, what a beautiful world we could be.
And is was so beautiful!
❤yes
The media won’t allow it
@@user-rc3pk4xy6rsad but very true
Tracy Chapman is a blast from the past for me. I had forgotten how talented she is! I throughly love her music!!! She looks amazing..💓
Her voice, after decades, still gold. Solid gold.
Incredible voice
As horrible as it sounds to say, Luke ruins this.
fully agree@@mascambios
@@mascambios 100%. Not hating on him or anything, I just think that it really ruins the essence that the song has with Tracy singing by herself.
She LITERALLY sounds identical to how she did back then.
According to me this was the best performance of the 2024 Grammys. No attention-seeking, lights, bells and whistles. Just music. Thank you Tracy and Luke.
Just attention seeking taylor swift.
I'd be honored if some fans of late 70s/early 80s groove would take a listen to my low-fi acoustic piano & vocal performances of SAIL ON by the Commodores, SEPTEMBER by Earth Wind & Fire, and THE PINA COLADA SONG by Rupert Holmes on my YT in tribute to the legends. Live acoustic with no autotune. Peace and keep on grooving in the '020s.
for me, it was the best ever.
Don’t need a grifter to come along and take credit singing a classic song. Write your own music.
@@finnickrinzler8907 lmao literally all she did here is sing along to a song she loved. I'm not even a Swift stan but I have to step in here and blame the cameraman/producer for insisting on a cutaway lmao
I love how happy she looked with the applause
What i love about this song, is I'm old enough to remember when the original came out in the 1980s, and I loved it, but also love this newer updated version ❤ what made me love it even more is he managed to get her to come and perform this song with him live on an awards show, which she rarely does...it made for a magical moment in my eyes ❤❤
What's really so very sweet is the way Luke looks at Tracy Chapman with wonder, adoration and a bashfulness that makes him duck his head when she smiles back. And Tracy Champman's delight in HIS joy and their performance together. It's simply a love fest from the heart.
That's part of why we love it so much! (besides the awesome song and their great sound!) A big part- there is so much heart here!
Absolutely perfect way to put that
I love him ❤ And this is one of my favorite songs of all time. I just love it and I never thought I could find someone that could sing it like her, but in his own version. And just as amazing..... Both of you guys ROCK ❤
He's in awe of her talent. They sound so good together. I'm looking forward to more duets with these 2.
She’s definitely blinking back tears as she first starts singing… the look of gratitude from the cheers.. raised eyebrow in surprise.. wonderful that she had this moment..peers and fans cheering loudly..!
100% true statement. Luke was giving her full credit for the song and clearly in awe to be singing with her. But she looked every bit as thrilled to be there with him and grateful that through him her song meant so much to so many people.
Two great entertainers....no politics. Crowd is into it. So was I.
So beautiful 🫶
🤦
I'm a young musician and I saw pretty much the exact same thing, the cheers from the crowd, big time respect from Luke Combs, and there was Taylor Swift standing alone and singing evert word of the song. What a magical moment.
The GRAMMY audience was craving this. I haven't heard such a genuine cheer of appreciation at the GRAMMYs in YEARS, as when they realised it's Tracy Chapman.
I listen 500'times and never get tiered of it!!
The most talent the Grammys has seen in years.
Amen!
So true 👍
Taylor swift is ruining the music scene
💯
@@saqib7965Right!!!! They just had to put the camera on her ass.
I feel like she didn't know just how much this song would mean to people all these years later , shes touched .
Yeah absolutely, good catch, she looked totally humbled moved by the reception, seemed like she had tears in her eyes. So well deserved. And he's obviously thrilled to be performing with her, he was watching her with complete adulation while she sang.
So surprised everyone got out of their seat. Taylor Swift stayed up the whole time. No problem respecting their elders at all. This is a great performance.
I totally don’t think that Tracy expected the reaction she got from the audience. That roar when the audience recognized her was INHUMAN.
She should have. This song is pure gold, has been for over 35 years, and Combs did an excellent cover of it.
Whoever came up with the idea of having Chapman and Combs perform this song together at the Grammys definitely deserves a promotion.
Luke was humbled to share the stage with her!❤
That moment when the crowd realizes "HOLY COW THAT'S TRACY CHAPMAN!!!!!!" and they collectively loose their mind. 😍
And the huge smile on her face and tears glistening in her eyes. All the Feels. Very well deserved. The blending of voices and the individual voices back and forth then coming together. Magical.
and HER smile when she hears the recognition 🧡
I would lose my shit too I love her so much.
@@PiscesMoon2You I keep rewatching and rewinding just to see her smile.
No shit huh crazy
Glad they finally got this duet on UA-cam. I was tired of only having the "tv recordings" people did.
The Grammy site has this whole version! (I watch it every day 😂)
Me too!!! Surprised it was posted here on YT! Thank you Grammysss!❤❤
Same here!❤😂
I actually like the one that the woman recorded while being there. Was such a highlight.
@@SisterFromAnotherPlanet @theworldaccordingtocarlos2185. This also was linked in articles about the performance in news sites
Pure talent. No stupid outfits. No social media nonsense. The best just don't need it.
She has the best smile, they sounded and looked amazing together
*Tracy, who's a very private person, gifts us with this live performance with Luke. Amazing, amazing artists and human beings!*
Can you imagine that phone call?... just how humble and gracious Luke must've been. It's astounding.
Another 666 thumbs up.
Seeing Luke’s face as he sings with one of his idols is priceless. But seeing Tracy’s smile as the audience erupts at her being there is Pure gold
Yes indeed! You said it all Sir😊
Yes and you could see the tears in her eyes. I'm so glad she felt all that love.
The biggest smile ever he has no idea how much this means to tracy or does he.. Does it matter now lol that was great
I love that not only is this a true and respectful cover but the joy in both of their faces and bridging generations with such an incredible song! Hey Luke this was one of my favorites too!
I feel like the highest honor a musican can achieve is someone covering a song with the original artist themself. Amazing
They finally posted it! The world has been waiting for the whole performance from the Grammys to be posted, not someone's version recorded on their phone. Thank you recording academy for finally putting this on UA-cam!
Exactly what I was thinking. I was looking for it every day starting with the night of the Grammy's.
It will get the most views out of all the 2024 Grammy performances.
Yeah I was just telling my mom I haven't been able to find the whole performance the other day.... I'm definitely grateful that I finally got to see it!
Yes. I’ve been waiting. ❤
Yes!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This guy is SO happy to be performing with Tracy Chapman. Wow. What a beautiful, connected performance!
Just watching him as he watches her and he can't contain the smile in his face...phenomenal
She looks happier , great song , in any era’
Everyone in that production booth sitting back knowing they just captured one of those cultural defining moments. They really got this one right.
The respect for Tracy that absolutely glows off of Luke’s face as he watches her sing makes my soul so happy ❤️ I couldn’t love this any more than I do...thank you Tracy & Luke!
That smile on her face, in the beginning, was a huge serotonin boost. I needed it.
Same ❤
this song was released 36 years ago and Tracy Chapman still sounds exactly the same. brilliant performance by both of them
I disagree ... for some reason, she sounds even better now.
@@blackknight9558you had me in the first half not conna lie
Riggggght wtf that’s what I’m saying she is amazing
The math is not making sense here. i am 47 and this came out way after I was 11. Maybe like at 16-17
@@abandonedmusenope, it’s true. Came out in 1988, so 36 years ago
This made me cry, such a beautiful song,
I searched this video to watch it again. I loved this performance. The respect is tangible. I’m only slightly distracted by Ms. Chapman’s naturally still-flawless skin 30 years later.🔥🔥🔥
I'll never get tired of watching this performance! Her excitement at hearing the crowd cheering for her, him looking over at her in awe and with so much respect. Truly a performance that will stand the test of time, and one of the best ever on the Grammys IMO.
She still looks amazing. And her voice still sounds like the first time I heard it in the 80s. Tracy Chapman is a goddamn legend.
That’s the same thing I was thinking and her humility is even more beautiful. I love her!
When you were sure of yourself, you can be humble . . . And that is beauty. Isn’t that what Fast car was all about❤
Rather hear this that Taylor swifts crap any day. Tracy shows how it's done. Without auto tune
@V3ganBr33 There's no need to put someone else down in order to attempt to uplift another. There's room both Tracy Chapman and Taylor Swift. If for some reason you prefer the music of one over the other, then listen to what you like. But putting someone else down isn't necessary to give a compliment.
She is so beautiful here.
It's their smiles for me and the fact that he sings along as she sings her verses. This is pure respect, adoration and love equally from both sides.
I love Tracy Chapman and yes she still is amazing.
Tracy Chapman has one of the most BEAUTIFUL smiles EVER!!!
She is absolutely radiant
Yessss!!!
She absolutely does! You can tell she enjoys her craft. With that being said I am glad that spilled over to Luke. He normally to me looks like he hates it up there. I finally got to see his enjoyment side and I am here for it!
AND VOICES! Ohio legend right there!
Oh, she does! That alone made me choke up. There was something profound in that performance, I don't think I'll ever forget it
There's something in the humble demeanor of both of them that's really moving. No diva shit, not hogging the spotlight - both acknowledging the other in a respectful way. Especially Combs, who apparently grew up with the song and has enormous respect for Tracy Chapman. More duets please.
This part
Amazing song, amazing duet. Tracy is simply a beautiful soul with a beautiful voice, hearing her again brings chills and tears. I love ya Luke and you sound amazing, Tracy thank you for this. Your music has a special place in many people’s hearts and souls.
LUKE IS SOOOO HAPPY TO BE WITH A LEGEND ❤❤❤❤! BROOKHAVEN MS
She looks so happy to see the audience still loves her song.
