This song is pure poetry!! Love it!!

[@angelagoodwin5758]

Tracy Chapman is amazing. "Give Me One Reason", and "Baby, Can I Hold You Tonight?" are good ones to follow up with. Also, her live performances are great.

[@FOXSTAR84]

yes! Tracy Chapman's live performances have such a unique beautiful sound

[@ameliacraiig4193]

Yes. Also 'Talkin’ Bout a Revolution' & 'Matters of the Heart'. Beautiful songs.

[@JohnDeDominicano]

After Tina Turner, Tracy is the Modern Queen of Rock. She has received critical acclaim including Grammy's, smash hits and a mega successful album that has sold over 20 million copies globally and is revered as on one of the biggest selling albums in global history. Tracy is a Rock legend.

[@callmefrog76]

Classic!!! This song has stood and will continue to stand the test of time.

[@Lovelyone1]

Wow Jack!! I never thought about it that way. How the pick up in the tempo mirrored her short lived hopeful feelings…then back down to reality.

[@edreef8689]

"Fast Car" received 3 Grammy Award nominations in 1988, including Record of the Year , Song of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Performance (female), the latter of the 3 which she won.

[@tylerhackner9731]

Beautiful poetry

[@kristilouque8412]

She’s a poet. 😎

[@JackReacts904]

Yes she is!

[@johnnyb8399]

Beautiful song ❤️😻❤️😘❤️

[@AlonzoLouw]

OMG TRACY CHAPS.... HAVENT HEARD HER IN A MINUTE!!! WOW YOU SHOULD REACT TO "BABY CAN I HOLD YOU! "STAND BY ME". "GIVE ME ONE REASON"."CHANGE"

[@Olivia-ui4cu]

Tracey Chapman is an OG 🎶🔥🎸 Set apart. Unique.

[@amandag3729]

I saw Tracy Chapman in the 80s and I left feeling like just came out of a whole different world. Just beautiful.

[@eskayh7734]

Tracy is always a win. Everyone should have her music in their library, whether it's one song or several. She's that awesome. My favourites of hers besides this one are "Baby Can I Hold You" and "Give Me One Reason."

[@sjgu2290]

Tracy is a legend, this song was popular in my country in the 90s❤

[@newsing33]

Love this song, and it's simple true message. "Give Me One Reason" by Tracy is a must listen to song.

[@janehamill254]

Talking about a revolution is my fave Tracy song.

[@CRobb-ql4zp]

🎉Congratulations Tracy Chapman 11/8/23 🎉 Just had to point out this amazing milestone in music history. Tracy Chapman has just become the first black songwriter to win the CMA song of the year award. Tracy was able to make country music history via Luke Comb's recording of her 1988 song, "Fast Car." This song debuted 35 years ago, yall. Luke Combs covered it, and after all that time, it's still a hit. It went number 1 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart. Which makes Tracy Chapman also the first black artist to have sole songwriting credit on a number 1 country hit.

[@CRobb-ql4zp]

I just want to add how amazing this song was. At the 1989 Grammy Awards, this song won a Grammy for: 🌟New Artist Award 🌟Pop Female Vocalist Award for🚘 "Fast Car" and her fellow nominees for this award were: Whitney Houston - "One Moment in Time," Brenda Russell - "Get Here," Joni Mitchell - "Chalk Mark in the Rainstorm," Taylor Dayne - "Tell it To My Heart" This song was also nominated for Record of the Year, but Bobby McFerrin, "Don't Worry Be Happy," won it. But check out the competition for this award, y'all Bobby McFerrin - 🏆 Anita Baker - "Giving You the Best that I Got" Michael Jackson - "Man in the Mirror" Steve Winwood - "Roll With it" and of course Tracy Chapman - "Fast Car" Lastly, this song was nominated for Song of the Year, but Bobby McFerrin, "Don't Worry Be Happy," won this award also. Here's the other amazing talents Tracy's "Fast Car" was competing with for this award: Anita Baker - "Giving You the Best That I Got" Brenda Russell - "Piano in the Dark: Sting - "Be Still My Beating Heart"

[@mariahramierz4082]

I'm so proud of u been working so much on your reactions and this is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 i love it already much love 💖💖💖💖

[@kenyonsgirl415]

Gimme One Reason by her is great!! Love the reaction ❤

[@miltonslocum8957]

Been enjoying your reactions Jack and decided to subscribe. This was a great request! Another song you'll like from Tracy is Give Me One Reason.

[@jodyariewitz7349]

Give me just one reason, by Tracy Chapman is also fire!❤

[@kevaunmitchell1316]

This is a classic my mom introduced me to this song and I thought it was toni Braxton singing this song lol when I first heard it on the radio shame on me

[@Michelle-rv9ks]

This song was ahead of its time. I was shocked to hear this was 80s-it sounds like early to mid 90s folk rock

[@AlMiner]

I forgot how profoundly beautiful this song is.

[@lameekabrown6294]

This song is simply beautiful and it hits me in the gut everytime!!❤😊

[@marneebragg9839]

This song came out in the late 80s, but it feels timeless.

[@cptight88]

It's hard to explain how HUGE this song was, even on radio that played Phil Collins hits

[@sabinasabina2010]

Baby can i hold you tonight- its great on it own but amazing when she duets live with Pavarotti.

[@lindylu8203]

One of my favorite voices of all time, I love unique! What’s next guys, some Phoebe Snow??

[@CRobb-ql4zp]

The talented Tracy Chapman. Thanks Jack for this reaction.😊

[@swaggerish]

You been cranking these vids out! Respect! 🔥🔥🔥

[@JackReacts904]

Been on my grind!

[@caseymccollum575]

@@JackReacts904 We appreciate you, Jack! Thank you!!

[@jennhurl]

​@JackReacts904 thank you for expanding your genres. You're one of my fav reactors & R&B is a vibe but I've always wanted to hear your thoughts on so many other songs that I know from watching you for a long time that you would love. 10CC "I'm Not In Love" wait til you hear how it was engineered - OMG! Player "Baby Come Back" Ace "How Long" Ambrosia "How Much I Feel" "Biggest Part of Me" Michael McDonald "I Keep Forgettin" ....all in your lane

[@damodeste]

The song is about plans to escape from her trouble life for a better one. But this great song you should check out "Sorry/Can I hold You Tonight"

[@johammond2020]

I'm a sound over lyrics person myself .. always tried to explain that and most people just don't get it? I think being an R&B head specifically that is. it's just the vibe, sound .. melody's ,etc..etc..

[@JackReacts904]

Thank you CRobb for the request!!!

[@CRobb-ql4zp]

You're welcome🎶

[@drea_drsr14]

@@CRobb-ql4zp Good call on this one. Would’ve been my next request!

[@ThatsJustMyBabyDaddy]

Tracy couldn't even get a full sentence out before Jack was gobsmacked. 😂

[@scottmack6656]

This song is a classic!

[@scottmack6656]

Some country guy remade it recently!

[@rabrab3]

Absolutely Masterclass!!

[@Ontherisechosenprince]

Tracy chapman revolution

[@davec4700]

You found the best song ever... It's her "lesbian anthem," but it cuts through what we've ALL suffered. Has the positivity of improving your station in life, but always remember where we came from. And, suffered from. Glad you are understanding the song

[@LiberatedSoul32]

I can ride down the highway and vibe out to this song 🚗🔥

[@phillychick4196]

I still remember when I was just 19 when we saw her walk up to that podium and snatch that Grammy❤❤❤❤

[@Camille4Real]

WHAT!? This one too Jack!? Boy oh boy! Let me scroll through your old videos and figure out what else you haven't heard. 🤔🤔🤔🐊🐊🐊

[@gabone324]

She used to play on the street and subway station in Harvard Square.

[@vanessa4u4evr]

Nice!! Always a joy to share Tracy Chapman with first-time reactors. Tracy has multiple songs and is a multiple Grammy winner. I agree with the suggestion below that 'Give Me One Reason' would be a great follow-up to check out (studio version if listening for the first time).

[@noelleparris9451]

A timeless song. The lyrics are truth. Ms. Chapman is 🔥❤👏🏾

[@brynneholt1990]

I always thought about how the protagonist married her father and turned into her mother and the cyclical nature of the story; but I never thought about how short and fleeting the fast parts/ good times were. Brilliant observation!

[@Lovejazz01]

Love Tracy Chapmen, always been one of my favorite singer/songwriters, you must check out “ Talkin About A Revolution “ next! Another unique voice you should check out is Natalie Merchant , these two ladies just about were the voices of the 90’s.

[@elisavetsandoval5362]

Love me some Tracy Chapman. Jack pls react to : Baby can i hold you tonight. It's a beautiful song.

[@disneytoysr4fun975]

This was ahead of its time for numerous reasons. As you can tell it sounds more like it would fit in with the 90s alt rock era. Also the chorus doesnt come in until the second verse. Hard to believe its an 80s song

[@CiaoColeG]

Exquisitely warm melancholy 😊

[@themirrorsofmymind]

Her song, "Freedom Now" about Nelson Mandella (from her second album "Crossroads") is very uplifting... 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊

[@kevaunmitchell1316]

Nicki Minaj sampled her song baby can I hold you somewhere in 2018 and tracy sued her

[@amyanderson5942]

Hey Jack, I'm thrilled that you have reacted to this! I'm really showing my age but this was the first CD that I bought, about 36 years ago, CD players had just come out!. I still have it and still listen to it. Please if you get the chance listen to 'Baby can I hold you ', its one of those really special songs that makes your head just go to that special place, you find yourself just staring at the wall, thinking. I absolutely love you and your chanel, you have introduced me to so many artists that I hadn't heard before so the ethos of the chanel works both ways for me. Ooh, I know you love Snoop, please watch the video for Doggy Dog World if you haven't already, I guarantee it'll become one of your favourites. Bless your heart Jack, you are doing a fantastic job, and keep listening to godess Sade! xxx

[@kungfoopencileraser]

Great review

[@marieaug9322]

Music critic level on this song Jack.

[@suebell8118]

Try Tracy Chapman "Give me one reason" the video is really smooth as well

[@pppmanly]

"Mountains o' Things" is another profound song of hers. ⭐️ Check it out.

[@andrewsmith8587]

Hell of a reaction! She was the first open gay black girl to ever rock out. Give me one reason is her 2nd best song. It was redone by Vince Gill but she is the best!

[@streettalk4thesoul]

great reaction!

[@marvamclendon5042]

Hey jack. You are very knowledgeable. I love your reactions. Did you study music!

[@callmefrog76]

Would love to see the reaction to the Grammy duet with Luke Combs

[@MA-te5nw]

Great reaction!

[@ameliacraiig4193]

If you appreciate this gorgeous voice, you might as well react to Joan Armatrading's - Love and Affection, & then Willow. She actually precedes Tracy by a good 15 years.

[@colin8877]

She came to fame singing for Nelson Mandela just before he was released.

[@ELog6300]

This song is about codependency

[@aronp7097]

Were both into sound production. Im a drummer. And i know im real close to where you are...just sayin.p

heavily influenced by Joan Armatrading

[@stanhin]

Dude, make your bed.

[@diorrboyyyy]

This song stole the grammy from Whitney in 1989🙄

[@disneytoysr4fun975]

To be fair this sounds more timeless than Whitneys song.

[@diorrboyyyy]

@@disneytoysr4fun975 this really doesnt…. and im talking about an olympics anthem at that…

MATE, FIRSTLY ITS WAY TO LOW, AND YOU COMPLETELY SPOILED THE FLOW BY PAUSING. YOU NEED TO BE PATIENT AND GIVE THE SONG A CHANCE TO ACTUALLY PLAY!!!!!
