Watching Tracy Chapman perform “Fast Car” with Luke Combs made me very happy. I love how respectful he’s been of her work and her legacy.

It feels like two totally different songs with different, but similar life experiences around it. Both immensely unique, in spite of the same lyrics. Always cool to see two artists doing the same thing.
The way he looked over at her with so much respect and admiration was awesome. Great duet and loved to see Tracy again
She sounds fantastic - her voice is incomparable. She also looks really vibrant and beautiful.
We GenXers are having a moment ❤️❤️❤️
Yep. He recognizes it's her creation and whatever he gets from it he wants to bring her along.
It’s just so wonderful, the song was huge when it came out but to see it, have a whole nother life and have a new generation understand the beauty and the power of this song, it’s just fantastic for her.
She’s outstanding. The way the crowd erupted was amazing. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Such a beautiful voice 🤩
I got the chills! It was a beautiful moment between Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs!!
Her face just lights up. Beautiful to see.
![Country star Luke Combs says his first favourite song was Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car”. He covered it earlier this year and the song hit #1 on country charts in July. Chapman owns the song’s composition rights and became the first black female to top Country chart as a sole writer. What did she think of the cover? Chapman told Billboard: “I never expected to find myself on the country charts, but I’m honored to be there. I’m happy for Luke….and grateful that new fans have found and embraced ‘Fast Car.’” Combs honored the original version, which he first listened to when his dad popped a cassette in the car. “You want to just be mega respectful of the original song,” says the 33-year old country singer, per CMT. “That’s why in [my cover], it’s, ‘work in the market as a checkout girl.’ I didn’t change that…I really wanted to just do the original version of the song.” I had Chapman’s CD and “Fast Car” was an absolute road-trip staple. Here is a clip of the artists each performing the song live — 35 years apart:](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1717378133022958045/amplify_video_thumb/1717377814230654976/img/hyUUHDzaCYuHGGov.jpg)
