Her Voice Is STUNNING | TRACY CHAPMAN - "Baby Can I Hold You" | REACTION & ANALYSIS

[@sharonscurti8024]

Tracy performed Fast Car with Luke Combs at the Grammys last night and I thought of Antons awesome reactions. She hardly ever performs live anymore so it was Iconic experience ❤.

[@clarencesmelcer4327]

She’s a brilliant singer/songwriter. Again another out lesbian when being out was not always welcomed. Much of her music is as relevant today as it was when it was written. Tracy partner is Alice Walker who wrote the book “The Color Purple” and has won a Pulitzer for her writing. So when you’re spending time with another great talent, the possibilities are infinite. She was one of David Letterman’s favorite artists to perform on his show too. Hope you choose to listen to more Tracy Chapman.

[@dennytaylor1005]

Wow ... that is like a power -iconic couple. Alice Walker? Wow. Great tidbit there. Thanks

[@tshepovanessa]

Wow, this info just made me extremely happy 😭❤

[@robing9278]

She and her music are absolutely beautiful.

[@D0nKeY]

Thats not her partner. They may or may not have been dating for a short period like 30 years ago.. But thats... 30 years ago..

[@AnjeannetteMarie-Swifie4Ever]

I’ve loved this song for 34 years ❤️

[@jacquesmoulin980]

She is a beautiful soul inhabited by a wonderful spirit.

[@potiswad]

Her voice instantaniously cuts into your soul.

[@FLQueerLiberal1982]

Give Me One Reason was one of her big hits. A really beautiful song is At This Point In My Life. Talking About a Revolution is great too, it became an anti-poverty anthem.

[@denijnj]

This song was totally underrated in America. In Brazil, luckily, it stayed at the top of the charts for several weeks in 1988.

[@spam68..]

Had the pleasure to see Tracey Chapman live twice at Wembley stadium London. 1st time was Nelson mandala 70th birthday tribute in June 1988. And the 2nd time was again in September 1988 with the Amnesty International concert. also playing was Bruce Springsteen, Peter Gabriel, sting. I was so lucky to so many artists in 2 big concert one year. I've see U2 twice simple minds 4 times and Red Hot Chilli Peppers. My biggest regret not seeing Queen when I had the opportunity in the 80s.

[@heathcliffhermes]

Maevellous interpretation!!! Deep and sweet!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Alexis40ar]

Her songs are always heart breaking and beautiful.

[@tiagopatricio3805]

Tracy's voice is unique!!!!

[@terryweathers6590]

This song sounds even better live!!! She speeds it up a little and it sounds fantastic!!!❤❤❤

[@dannford-premiersothebysin9057]

Tracy does not put out a bad song! She is a gem... I love her writing and performing.

[@tinkler4]

This is one of those songs you wish it went longer. Another brilliant track from TC. Awesome reaction.

[@gloriaandrea2539]

Tracy Chapman is absolutely fabulous! I totally love her music❤️great reaction ❤️

[@c.s.m.k5737]

Music has not been this good across the board for decades. Rich, articulate, well crafted sounds and the clear distinct voices that deliver the whole packages for the audio pleasure of the listener.

[@MiguelLopez-is9te]

💜 Love Tracy Chapman so much. Seen her live, twice, and she was so amazing. Her vocals are truly unique

[@t0dd000]

All of her music is even better live.

[@scottyh8494]

Incredible song.

[@michaelsmith1262]

So glad you are doing another TC song. That whole album is amazing. I wish reactors would do the whole thing rather than the ones that have videos. Mountains of Things and She's Got a Ticket are my favorites.

[@incoco2]

gave a like Tracy is Bare Bones Talented !! Gets you in your feelings . Your right her voice is unique like Winehouse and Prince.

[@jeremyturner4950]

Fascinating fact about Tracy. In the 90s she was in a romantic relationship with novelist Alice Walker who won the pulitzer prize for "The Color Purple."

[@frankromero5581]

Look at her other songs from her first album . there amazing too . there soo good .

[@soanemoa2191]

There's no song from her album that you cannot connect with. She's a true artist!

[@donaldjackson4456]

My favorite of hers

[@eleniprovia7667]

Love Tracy! Anton you should check out “Telling stories” and “Crossroads” by her, you won’t be disappointed!

[@erwinfriedrich7569]

Tracy is empathy

[@telsid9849]

Would love to see your reaction to Tracy's New Beginning album. I can't pick one song to single out because the entire album is an experience. EVERY song is poignant yet uplifting simultaneously! 🙏🏾

[@davidmaholchic6146]

Dude I have been binging you wonderful Content Keep it up love you

[@Paninaro98]

My favourite from her is The Promise. You should react to that.

[@TheAndersox]

This is my favorite Tracy Chapman song. Great reaction 🖤

[@MichelKulmann]

Oh, God, one of the best songs ever recorded.

[@jenniferalexia419]

Muito bom o vídeo, e eu amo essa música ❤🥺

[@raisa_cherry35]

Brilliant ❤

[@g.t.oliveriii4898]

Listen Tracey and BB do Thrill Is Gone.

[@benmason9755]

The Promise is BY FAR her best track, it's a genuine thing of beauty. She's Got Her Ticket is the best from THIS album, (her eponimous debut). Also there's Speak the Word, Telling Stories, Open Arms, Subcity, S,oke & Ashes, AllThat You have Is Your Soul, Change and Bang Bang Bang (Song For the Little Man).

[@Ernie1978]

She's brilliant. Listen to "The Promise."

[@lullhabit6292]

My faorite of hers is "bang bang bang" and "crossroads" !

[@frankromero5581]

Sorry i meant the album New Beginnings . thats a undiscovered tracks .

[@frankromero5581]

Smoke and ashes . cold feet . listen to them good and others there deep

[@frankromero5581]

SMOKE AND ASHES . 👍👍

[@rmlrl1971]

I have to give you props for listening to her, and not just, Fast Car. If you haven't yet, you also need to listen to Joan Armatrading.

[@miznay30]

Wooow I was today years old when I realized Tracy Chapman is the originator of this song. I always thought this song was a reggae song called Sorry by Foxy Brown 🤯 I like Tracy's version, but me being Jamaican like the reggae version a lil bit better 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@tinoliera9480]

❤️

[@JG-fv9bv]

Tracy Chapman. ..... "Across The Lines" "My Mountains of Things"

[@jaquettajones]

Pavarotti actually did a cover of Baby can I Hold you Tonight.- you should check it out.

[@raisa_cherry35]

Irish band Boyzone covered this song,the cover is also great.

[@FLQueerLiberal1982]

Actually, I think there is another artist that sounds like her. British singer Joan Armstrong (I Like It When We're Together is a great one). Not exactly. But close. And similar music style.

[@matnar99]

Love tracy chapman!!!!!!! For years I thought was a man singing 😹😹😹😹😹😹

[@imhereforitall9218]

This song is her singing to her lesbian lover. I am a long time fan of Tracey and I learned this back in the late 80s. Obviously it can apply to hetero relationships as well but this is a love letter to her girlfriend.

[@foots-qt4pk]

"Smoke and Ashes"

[@mainecanoe]

Wait hold up this guy is comparing Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20 with Tracy Chapman?

[@frankromero5581]

At this point .

[@matiascaballero5502]

When u gonna a mariah reaction ?

[@dennytaylor1005]

Great reaction again. Ms Chapman is indeed an incredible sing-songwriter and story teller. I have to admit, one of my favorite versions of this song is the duet she did with opera singer Luciano Pavarotti. Here is the link ... not to do a reaction to, but just to enjoy a very wonderful version of this when you have time. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4LHn59mlK6oiMk

[@heyoletsgo9]

does anyone else hear a little bit of tracy's "baby can i hold you" in alanis morissette's song "flinch" from her album "under rug swept" ? for some reason i can't un-hear it now...a musical kinship between the songs, a distant link between women, a faint hint of one artist in the other, maybe? maybe not? it's possible i'm just really tired...

[@МишаСомов]

Felicidades, es un buen ejemplo. 423 sentadillas son unos HOTBABY.Uno muchas y un buen ejercicio. Se deja ver que hay muy buenos resultados 😍👍 Saludos desde la Cd.. de world 🌹😉💖 los mortalesz abian apreciado tan hermosa mujer.k

[@raisa_cherry35]

I always thought as a kid that Tracy is a man 😂
