WE LOVED IT!| FIRST TIME HEARING Tracy Chapman - Give Me One Reason REACTION

[@jimmydaves]

No one sounds like Tracy Chapman. She's iconic!

[@keithjoye2114]

Saw an interview with Johnny Cash years ago and the reporter asked the question that I wish would be asked more often: “What are you listening to now?” Yes, we gain insight from the classic question, “Who influenced you?” But to know what great artists are currently into is even more intriguing to me. Anyway, Johnny’s answer, without hesitation, was “Tracy Chapman.” He really liked her style. So do I. Great choice y’all! 👍🏻

[@coolcpa3321]

The only thing that I don't like about Tracy Chapman is that she has relatively few recordings. I so wish she'd recorded more. I've seen her live several times and she is phenomenal.

[@Grizazzle]

Amen!

[@garyking6519]

She records rarely because when she does it is perfection.

[@kathrynstafford7099]

She has 3 or four albums

[@MrWackaloon]

I love this song! Her voice (to me) is a cross between Nina Simone and Amy Winehouse. I would listen to her sing a grocery list.

Behind the wall is incredible, just her voice no backing music... but it will make you cry

[@ThePierce5144]

This song is a classic blues song. Repeat a phrase twice and then a closing phrase in each verse. 3 chord progression structure. And yes she has a soulful voice. Most blues singers do!

[@garyarnett1220]

Yup pure blues

Always Loved Tracy Chapman.

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

Tracy hit hard and then sort of faded. I was hoping she would have more staying power as she had a lot to say in her music. I know she still plays but hoped we would hear more.

[@teresajarrell452]

I would like to hear more from her too. I know she acted in a couple movies. . .

[@pamacree3890]

She's still around, just on a smaller scale.

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

She has a parallel in the Uk a great artist who quietly goes on being a great musician.. the Great Joan Armatrading 😎 also still recording and performing when she likes.

[@drieuxkoeppel8152]

Tracy says she hates the fame and limelight. She’d rather play small, intimate clubs. Her choice.

[@iyot1020]

i think its by choice i believe shes really in it for the art not just revenue and fame she looks so introverted when she performs and fame is the worst thing for an artist like that

[@shellylister7006]

Love this song! If I'm in the car and arrive at my destination and this is playing, I don't get out of car until it is over. She and Eric Clapton performed this as a duet. You can find the video.

I just saw that duet for the very first time yesterday. It was a treat to see and hear them together.

Her debut album “Tracy Chapman” is an incredible album. “Baby can I hold you” and “talking about a revolution” are must listens. Also “All that you have is you soul” is a great one.

Nobody sings like miss Chapman ❣️

Can’t get enough of her

[@dagmar.6954]

Tracy Chapman is a great singer-songwriter & storyteller. Have always loved her unusual voice. She is best known for her hit singles "Fast Car", "Talkin' 'bout A Revolution", "Baby Can I Hold You", "Crossroads" & "Give Me One Reason".

[@tammyford2357]

My favorite song of hers is The Promise.

[@rickonofrey2240]

I saw Tracy Chapman yrs ago 30 +yrs at a small venue about 500 people just her on the guitar it was so wonderful just beautiful.

[@marygoodson4920]

The definition of the word "simplistic" is treating complex issues and problems as if they were much simpler than they really are. I think you meant to say that the music behind her is "simple." Simplistic is actually a pejorative word. A simplistic solution to a problem is usually a bad solution. Sorry, I don't mean to nerd out, but it drives me crazy when people say simplistic instead of simple! Love you guys, love Tracy Chapman.

[@angelagoodwin5758]

Baby Can I Hold You is another great song of hers.
