I will never get over how Luke was looking at her. That little boy listening to the cassette tape in his dad’s truck had no idea.
He looks at her with pure love. ♥
that is exactly what I saw too!!! Luke is amazing
That makes it a unique video!
Imagine his dad showing his son his favorite songs, probably never thought "in a few years my son will be singing this along side Tracy Chapman" he's gotta be so proud
It seemed like Luke Combs was so honored to participate in this performance. He showed so much respect to the song. And Tracey Chapman is a legend!
My favorite part. He couldn't keep his eyes off of her bc he was star struck. So cute!
Totally agree he was touched by this. Man this was so special 😢❤
@@memefree3101
I came here to say this exact same thing!
Well he should. He profit off her song he copyed.
@@aliciamaria2730she is paid royalties from his song
One of the things i love about Luke's performances is that he's not trying to make it his. He doesn't even change the gender or pronoun - I'll work in the market as a checkout girl. Others might be "checkout boy" or "You'll work in the market". He's honoring and respecting Tracy every step of the way. He knows it's her song and he's not trying to change that. It's fantastic.
I love that he did not change genders. Song is perfect. Don't change it
I didn’t realize that. Makes me love Luke Combs even more.
Yeah I'm glad he didn't change it. This song to myself and many is one of the most perfect songs ever written. And it's amazing how he brought the love for this song back into the channel for all us younger folks to experience either for the first time or all over again, while all the while giving nothing but respect to Tracy Chapman
Tracy’s reaction when the audience recognized her was priceless
She doesn't know how much she's loved
Oh yeah, the same crowd that makes Taylor Swift a superstar while Tracy has pretty much been out of the scene. Tracy is way more talented but there ya go…
@@OrganicallyLuxeLife she was a huge important part to so many Gen X young people. It would make me happy if she could understand even an iota of that love.
@@thewalruswasjason101 Tracy purposely left the life. It was 100% her choice. She never stopped being adored and people flocked to see her live when she toured.
@@thewalruswasjason101 Tracy values privacy, she stated in an interview 8 years ago she didn’t even own a smartphone and didn’t want to be on social media.
“Me myself I got nothing to prove”. That is Tracy’s legacy.
Line of 2024!
you nailed it!
❤
What a stunning woman she is
@@donaldmerrick6626 This line bridges both the 20th and 21st century!
He cant believe hes on stage singing with THE TRACEY CHAPMAN❤❤❤
He gave her all the respect and administration she deserves and could not stop following her but kept his person....just love it.....
Admiration not adminstration
I needed this duet. It made me tear up. Our country is so ugly right now,and it helped me take a breath and enjoy the admiration of Luke to the talented and happy Tracy, whom, needs to give us more of music etc! Best thing on the television in years!
100% you hit it dead on the nail there ... there is so much trouble in the world atm but soon as I heard this it just took me to another place...I've played it over and over I love that Tracey decided to do it with Luke she's showing Unity with people once again ..
❤❤❤
🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🌈
I feel exactly the same way!! It makes me so genuinely happy to feel that way again!
Agree. A healing experience if we only let it.
Tracy Chapman's shyness is so cute 🥺🥰
Yes!! I noticed this! She came out to do this without knowing what to expect. The crowd roared for her. She just gave the cutest, shy smile. Even when Luke was Fanboying all over her, same shy smile! So humble. LOVE her!
She’s just so beautiful! Her soul shines from her eyes and her smile. She seemed so humble and grateful and Luke seemed so honored and showed so much admiration. I loved this song as a child. It made me cry then and still does today!!! Thank you to the legend Tracy Chapman for giving us this gem!!! And thank you to Luke Combs for fearlessly bringing new life to it!!!
I love Luke’s voice and Tracy’s voice together in this song. Two people who can emote this song properly. Both dreaming, willing to be hopeful. Ugh LOVED this and need this as a single
I’d buy/download this collaboration in a heartbeat! ❤
There are certain songs I always thought shouldn't be covered, and this was definitely one of them. Luke did Tracy's masterpiece justice and introduced her to a whole new generation. Seeing those two together and the way they pulled off such a beautiful duet was awesome.
I think I understand what you mean. Some songs, when you cover it, you want to change it up a little, make it a bit fresh, otherwise what's the point? Like when Adam Lambert slowed down Cher's "Believe" to a ballad at the Kennedy Center Honors. And sometimes with songs like "Fast Car", you just do the song to honor such perfection.
It worked because Luke understood the assignment and was living a boyhood dream. He had the ultimate respect and admiration of a legend. Loved this performance and video!
I fully agree. I’ve read some comments from people who were angry that Luke covered (in their words, “stole” or “appropriated” or “ripped off”). I couldn’t disagree more. You could her his love and respect for The original in every moment of his version and as you say, brought this song, which is still so relevant to so many people’s lives, back to the forefront. And with this performance hopefully no doubt remains in anyone’s head about his respect for Tracy and he art.
❤For Tracy
It was so heartwarming to see her tear up when the lights went up and people shared such love for her!! 😊❤😊
She held it back but you can tell it momentarily threw her off. That feeling of joy was definitely on display.
Same. The way she looked down and smiled, I was already crying at that point
@@ShawnRakarIt sends such good vibrations💫
@@lyndseycadoo8133So wonderful that we can energetically receive someone's goodness through small gestures. Starts those waterworks everytime.😃
@@lyndseycadoo8133me too ! She was so deserving of that. She's a legend.
My favorite 2024 Grammy performance! Excellent collaboration!!!💙
I’m 65 and I remember this song from many years ago and thought it was beautiful. I loved the duet. Looking at all of the narcissism on display at the Grammys shows me that Tracy is the epitome of class and exactly what an entertainer should be like. Humble and appreciative of people’s love for her. She’s just so beautiful and talented.
@@archie15900 Respect the commenter’s feelings and allow the person to express oneself without imposing your ethical judgments or policing- thank you
Not Luke Combs "fangirling" when Tracey was singing!! I loved this performance, and it definitely does bring back wonderful memories of when the original of this song came out back in the day. Thanks for a great analysis!
Tracy’s voice sounds just as wonderful as it did when she first sang the song back in the day. Such a moving performance from both!👏🏾👏🏾
The rich warmth of Tracy's voice and Luke twang is an extraordinary combination. And it almost seemed the audience had waited all their lives for this iconic musical moment. And what a spectacularly historic Grammy moment it was.
I have watched this performance over and over since Sunday. Can't get enough. Forgot how much I loved and missed Tracy and her music
A simply elegant duet by two fabulous singers. And the complete and total love and respect they showed each other… Marvelous.
I like how they smiled at each other and are friends
I smiled through the entire performance. They were both so excited to do this!
Let’s give it up for Aunt Tracy’s Cheekbones!
And her skiinnnnn!!!
Aunt Tracy looks radiantly happy, and I love it for her
And her dimples - She is beautiful and glowing! 😍
@@ijeomafarrakhan4020 me too! Where ever she has been it’s peaceful!
@@cookiemonster3129 that glow is magic!
I love it when Luke mouths the words while Tracy sings.
I dont know why I can’t listen to this without shedding tears…I am so happy for her…I wonder what it must feel like to receive such praise and reverence so many years later…
For me, tears for America. What we have become, but what we still could be...if we do not run out of time.
It’s the lyrics for me. The quiet desperation, the hopefulness and the steady determination of a better tomorrow, the heart break of trying to break the cycle and somehow repeating it. “You stay out drinking late at the bar. See more of your friends than you do of your kids” 💔
I had goosebumps watching this!! I loved this song back in the day but w this duet it was something special. I loved the way he kept looking at her….yea this was it❤
Her voice is beautiful, she allows a song to breath between singing, and instrumentals, very natural, flows like water..❤️🎶
Yes! Life water.
You nailed exactly why Tracy Chapman is such a good singer and storyteller! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The rich harmony between them is so soothing. They fit effortlessly. We need them to cut this as a duo like right now. They are both gracious, incredible humans, and you can feel it.
She’s so controlled, yet spontaneous in short spurts. Good lord it’s genius with these lyrics. I’ve loved this song since I was a teenager, in the 90’s. Honestly I didn’t know I’d love this duet so much, but the energy is beautiful.
This woman has been drinking her water and minding her beautiful business, and it shows in her that gorgeous face!!
And that's why i was so upset when nicki minaj and her ignorant fans pulled that stunt with Tracy. That's the day i stopped being a nicki fan 😢
@sassybdiy7565 what happened?
A classic example of a well written song that can transcend time.
Her smile just melted my heart. He is of course, so honored to have her with him on stage tipping her hat to the next artists connecting to her music. I miss her. She is very special. So is Luke. That performance will stay with me for a long long time. Also your review was awesome. So knowledgeable and tuned into to the minute detail in their voices and delivery. Your ear is fine tuned. Glad a true professional is explaining what it is we are really hearing and why it works so well. Keep up the good work.
I'm old enough to remember when this song first came out, and I had long considered Tracy's vocal performance to be a masterful bit of underplaying against the powerfully emotional story and lyrics. But now hearing Jaron explain in such detail about how the chill pronunciations and relaxed vocal movement connect to and enhance the meaning of the song was revelatory! I see now that Tracy chose to sing this song in a reserved, restrained manner to reflect the similar limitations placed on the life of this song's protagonist. I never would have thought on my own that the shapes your mouth make when singing can have symbolic meanings. Thank you for giving me a new level of insight and appreciation for this song!
Very well stated. Lyrically, the song is about someone agonizing about their situation and the fantasy of escape. So the "understated" vocal from Tracey just amplifies the story.
I love country music but unfortunately, I had no idea who Luke Combs was. His respect towards Tracy Chapman is a shining example and the BLUEPRINT of how younger artists should behave towards established artists. Watching how sweet his is towards her, and seeing how much he respects her talent and still sees her humanity is so touching that it makes me want to tear up. I want to learn more about Luke and support his music because of who he showed himself to be here.
Grit is country. Nasal is country. I like the mix of Tracy’s buttery deep folk and this guy’s nasal grit.
100000%
Exactly what I said.
And singing the Rs is country. Can you imagine a country song about working hard of work weeks of BEER without keeping the R sound?
This was the spiritual experience America needed….
Her eyes are do bright when she starts singing so beautiful 🤩 best performance in decades in the gramys
This performance was everything. I loved it!
I saw someone who was in the band comment on the original video from the Grammys posted on reddit and he said that Tracy had a very clear vision of how it was going to sound and she wanted her original band to play and wanted it to be melded with Luke’s sound and I think that’s just so great to hear. She arranged the whole thing. :)
Tracy's voice gives me goosebumps...she is special. Love her.
Tracy is always going to have a special place in my heart. She is a treasure.
This song has always held a special place in my heart. The guitar riff intro alone gave me chills. And the emotion in her voice. You can tell when a song meant something to the artist when they recorded it
Wow didn't watch the grammys but I love seeing Tracy she is still amazing 💖
I remember growibg up i. a small town in Zimbabwe and listening to her music on cassette tape. She is such a story teller and so soothing.
I love that Tracy Chapman got so much love. And I ain't made about the coins that Luke Coombs cover probably made for her too! It was great to see Tracy Chapman perform live again.
This performance is beyond special in so many ways!❤️❤️❤️
They brought tears to her eyes, she wasn’t forgotten!! Love this duet! They should do more!
This was such an incredible moment!
I was 18 when this song came out. I don't think anyone who didn't experience the song in 1988 understands what this performance feels like and really means, I can't even explain.
♥
I was 19. I understand
@@ZoOnTheYTI was newly married, and this song and Tracy’s album takes me back to that era. This song was full of hope and then heartbreak. I totally get what you mean about having experienced it in 1988 - made this performance so incredibly special.
AGREE! Love Tracy so much. The song is genius, hopeful and sad at the same time. It always made me cry back in the day and still does today. Best performance at the Grammys ever. Thank whomever was responsible for making it happen. Still in awe!
I was 17 😢 definitely felt this performance ❤
The smile on her face before she started when the crowd was cheering made me tear up. She looked like she was getting choked up but those vocals certainly didn't. So happy to see her back.
How have I never seen any of your content before??? You are fabulous!
I'm gen X and was already an adult when this song was first released. For those of us who had lower female voices (I'm a low-middle voice) hearing a "pop contralto" on the radio was EVERYTHING.
Tracy cemented my love of contemporary, folky, indie music. All the color in her voice and the way she broke the rules of singing made room for other storytellers that sing in a lower register.
Sure, we can talk about Joni Mitchell, Karen Carpenter, and even Sarah Vaughn with their magical voices. But Tracy was all the way gen X. And we love her for it.
I remember David Letterman introduced her saying Tracy is his only favorite singer.
Her voice is still as rich, captivating and haunting as it was 30+ years ago. Great singers don't need a bunch of tricks to make great songs.
This is my FAVORITE grammy live performance EVER! So beautiful it had me it tears. Their voices together was PURE GOLD!
0:33 SAME!!!! I love when that happens too. It’s always great to rediscover good music!
Her delicate vibrato + superb story telling is why i adore her. She's got a gift, for sure.❤
Ever since I heard Luke Combs' cover, I truly wished for this duet. I hope they could record and release this for us.
Tracy looks and sound amazing.
Voices meld like butter! Brilliant! ❤
I have missed Tracy so much, I know she is not super fond of celebrity but I hope we are all blessed with her presence in music and she puts out another album
Really enjoyed this analysis. Her voice is so special, and Luke has a good voice too. I agree with you, I like the unison. This was my favorite performance of the night.
I first heard this song in 1988 on MTV. Tracy had been attending college in Boston area a few miles from me. She sang in Cambridge Coffee houses and at subway stations .
This duet needs to be released. It was beautiful. Do you think folk singers are more attuned to having better diction when singing because the words are so important?
Can Chapman and Combs tour together in concert? Please. I'll even pay for a HBO Special. Lol
I have a funny story about this song. Back in the 90's, I was on the Staten Island Ferry going past the Statue of Liberty, and there was a woman singing this song on the deck, playing the guitar. She sang it beautifully. Well, while she was singing a huge gust of wind came up and blew the money out of her guitar case that people were dropping in for her. I jumped out of the crowd watching, ran around the deck and collected up all the money and put it back in her guitar case, with another couple bucks I had. She looked me in the eye and said thanks, and continued singing this song.
I'll never forget that. This song is so beautiful. I love that Tracy and Luke sang it together like this.
I was hoping you would react to their performance ❤ i absolutely love this song ✨ best performance of the night
I think this resonates well to most becuase this rendition to me seems acknowledge the differences, the struggles in life and uniting together to walk on the same path to be someone.
YES
It's true Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs do sound great together.
I'm, however, so very impressed with your expert analysis and description of the notes, tones, and diction of each artist.
You're indeed a great teacher!!
Thank you!!🙏🏾🖤💯
Vivo en México y toda mi vida he escuchado a Tracy Chapman y otros artistas de los 50's 60's 70's 80's 90's algunos de ellos se han ido y otros los han dejado olvidados, no pierdan las costumbres de disfrutar la buena música que tienen, sé que hay música nueva, pero no olviden las buenas canciones y excelentes artistas de antes.
She looks so radiant here. I've always loved this song. I loved it back when she released it, and I love Luke's version of it too. He didn't try to change it. He stayed true to this wonderful song.
To me, the best part about this song was just how joyful they both looked singing it. You could feel it. Luke looked like a kid in a candy store like he couldn't believe he was on the stage with Tracy. And Tracy seemed to be happy to be giving a live performance of her song again even though it has been her choice to be private. I think they sounded wonderful together. It was my highlight of the show.
He's a country singer, so that's why his "R" sounds are so thick.
I was blessed enough to see Ms. Tracy Chapman on her first international tour. Her album hit so huge she found herself performing on the same stage with the likes of Bruce Springsteen and Peter Gabriel. It was a tour to raise awareness and funds for Amnesty International. They had her booked to play for the audience as part of the afternoon line-up. Just her and her guitar. In front of _thousands_ of people in The Big O in Montreal, Canada. She was amazing. There are no words.
I still hold the memory of first hearing the Fast Car released on the radio - it gave me chills that I can still feel. Thank you SO much for sharing this performance. Ms. Chapman... she is a Master. Hearing Luke Combs harmonize to her...
_Fun fact_ - Ms. Chapman's guitar was made by a woman who lives in Calgary (Alberta), Canada. There's an interview with her on the local CBC radio show. It's worth a listen...
- Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
I was at that concert too! Huge Springsteen fan but Tracy Chapman was the highlight of that show for me. I will never forget
She was the show. Everyone else was extra after she was done. The other highlight of that show for me was Gabriel singing 'Biko' to a stadium glowing with lighter fire.@@heatherlundberg8634
hearing Tracy perform this - - I saw her live at the Amnesty International Concert in Philly right after Fast Cars was released - one of my favorite concert experience ever
DEVINE PERFECTION!!! 🙏😇✨ I’m OBSESSED with this performance!!! Makes me emotional. I LOVE this woman!!! 👑 No ear piece??? Went immediately to download Tracy’s original and Luke’s cover. All I need is the duet!!! Thanks for this breakdown. I’m old and have been struggling with the lyrics. 😂🤣
P.S. You ROCK!!! 🚀💥
I cannot listen to Tracy Chapman sing without wanting to cry. I just remember my mom had cassette tapes of her music and we would play them on full blast volume and sing along while we were cleaning house or cooking. She was literally a part of the soundtrack of my childhood. This song and "Give Me One Reason" was my 2 favorites of hers. She really is a treasure.
I’ve been listening to Tracy since her debut album. Nothing like listening to Fast Car on a record. ❤
This channel is about the delivery… Respect… But decades after her original release of Fast Car, in this 4th turning, with political realignment, wealth inequality, populism, geopolitical decoupling, and deaths of despair…. The lyrics are prophetic…
I love how Luke continues to look over at her😃😃 He felt honored to be singing the song with her you could tell
I was glad Luke Combs did this cover. I always loved the original Tracy Champman song. It was the best. I hope they release this duet because this is now my favorite version. Their voices compliment each other. I didn't think it could get better than the original.
You’re so right about the unison, even without harmony you can hear their individual voices and they fit together so well. Magic!
I can not find the full performance anywhere on CZcams. It’s crazy! But damn!!! Amazing!!
I can’t find it either
This was the closest I could find too
It’s on ig
The full performance is on instagram on Recording Academy or Luke Combs page.
It's on X (Twitter) that I got to rewatch it.
It was a beautiful performance, no changes needed. The mad respect and thrill he shows watching her is priceless. Her and her voice are even more beautiful than when she first sang it. Best thing on tv in ages💞
Been listening to this song my whole life. 25 years
I loved how they’d look at each other, she knew they were hitting it, and he’s just an awe of being up there her. ❤
Even Tracy’s guitar playing is relaxed.
Tracy's voice has a very fine timbre, so soothing to the ears.
I was so against a cover of this song because of how perfect the original is, but Luke Combs’ so obviously reveres and respects Tracy that it feels right. His emotion during this performance is really something.
Part of me felt the same way, but Tracy Chapman is a songwriter. Even if a cover will never transcend the original, I'm sure she appreciates that her work will live on and survive later interpretations.
@@kathyvanburen3313 Oh absolutely! I definitely have a strong attachment to the original, so I was biased going in. But I really love what Luke Combs did with the song and I love the way it’s created a whole new audience for Tracy’s incredible work!!
Interestingly he has been covering this song for 6 years now in concert ... and then released as a single.
Fast Car must really mean alot to Luke for having covered it for many years. His dad playing it in the car must have been the reason for it....and it just stuck.
@@JayaJaya-pc9tb Absolutely. I know it means a lot to me, so it’s nice to see others show it the same level of care.
Omg!! This was definitely a treat for me💙.. I haven’t heard anything from Tracy Chapman in a minute.I love love her smooth operator and sultry sound.This was beautifully fully done💕🎤💕.Another one🔥🎤🔥🎤Thank You 💖🔥💖
Smooth Operator was Sade🤷♀️🤷♀️
@@sostew7518 First off.. I’m aware Sade made a song titled smooth operator “” I identified Tracy Chapman’s voice as a Medifore to her style and texture.Therefore keep your unnecessary antics to yourself.Especially if you haven’t a clue or understanding of why I wrote my comment.
I’m totally aware smooth operator the song is Sade”s..First off before adding your cliche so call correction . I referenced Smooth operator to Tracy Chapman”s Vocal style and texture.So stay in your lane .Thank You
So happy you covered this performance. It was so effortless and very moving. ❤
It’s phenomenal how Country legend Tracy Chapman’s one of kind authentic beautiful voice and vocals are STILL flawless, pristine, and crispy after ALL these decades. As a GenX, this brought tears because Tracy was one of beloved songbirds that gave us all wonderful music memories back in the day. ❤
Tbh I was waiting for this video lol.
Love this song. Definitely has the essence of its era.
Great video as always! 👏
Wow! Just WOW. You're great keep up the awesome work
I had never heard Luke Combs before nor do I listen to country... Tracy's voice, as stunning as ever; his voice blew me away. I really hope they record this together.
Thanks for a great analysis and in terms a non-musician can understand.
Favorite concert ever been to was at a Luke Combs concert August ‘23 in Philadelphia. Right before he came on there was a rain delay that was like 2 hours long. When he came out I was a little kid again
I love how Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs both seem so excited for this moment. Five years ago, people probably would have said no way to the idea that “Fast Car” would be a Country hit, but I think that Luke Combs proved that that would have been the stereotype talking. “Fast Car” is a beautiful folk/soul song, so it shouldn’t be surprising that a genre so heavily influenced by folk and soul music would pick the song up and run with it.
I'm in tears! Tracy is stunning! Fast car, is me and my Dad's song 🎵,
I think my favorite Tracy Chapman song is "Cold Feet." She's what my culture (Scots) would call a bard. Once in a lifetime storyteller.
Great performance ever, thanks Luke for bringing it back for this generation to hear it.
I never heard of Luke Combs but now a fan because Tracy is everything 💙💙💙💙
