What a great and soulful performance!
I missed the Grammy Awards and could kick myself.
I was 38 and raising my two kids back in 1988.
I remember this song with its dreams and yearning.
It sounds as poignant today to my 73 year old soul as it did back in the day.
Thanks for posting this incredible duet.
I know! I tape it and accidently erased it. I think it can be found on CBS or streaming later on.
@@melm4730 Thanks. I’m counting on it surfacing on TH-cam or elsewhere.
It was quite a moment…
I get the digital version of the NYT. I saw a headline of an article yesterday, Where Has Tracy Chapman Been? I’d like to know, too. Life tumbled along and she and the song had essentially vaporized from my consciousness. A third child and everything that comes with that will do it t’ ya…
Me too. Same situation!
@@evamorris9230 Thanks for your validation!
It’s not that I didn’t find Tracy Chapman a new voice, but suddenly she was gone, perhaps in a “Fast Car” and we just couldn’t catch her at the next rest stop.
I have loved this song since 1988. I was a 33 year old mom with two sons & a husband. When Tracy came out with the her song it didn’t really relate to me. It actually did, I think a lot of us wanted to go away in a Fast Car sometimes in our younger days. Luke Combs has done a great cover so a new generation could discover the song. I love the way they sang it together .
One of the best songs ever written. It brings me to tears every time i hear it. So incredibly painful but oh so beautiful.
Every single time. 😢
So true
THIS!!!!!!
Well said.
This song encapsulates the hope of escape and the incredible sadness of a circle being completed.
One of the best of duets I have ever heard, So much passion in both their voices. It makes the song sound as if it was a conversation between two hopeful souls.
it does
That’s what the songs always been though
It was 1988 and I bought Tracy Chapman's LP, "Fast Car". I lived in Atlanta and I would play it over and over again.
In 1989, I had a ticket to somewhere
I knew any place was better than where I was at the time
I, too, was starting from ground zero and truly had nothing to lose
I was going to make something of myself
Because I had something to prove
I had a plan to get out of there
But I would have to drive far
960 miles, to be exact
I'd cross the Georgia border and into another city
I'd start a new job and finally see what it means to be living
My car was fast enough for me to fly away
I made a decision so I would not have to live & die that way
My decision involved leaving someone I cared about
But knowing that what we had (or what we didn't have) would not be enough to sustain me in my life...
Wow.. touching story. So did u catch up with your love again?
We got together one weekend after I moved. It was never the same and we drifted apart. I wrote her a marvelous recommendation that helped her get into grad school. She married had two girls and lived in Seattle, Washington. I married and had one daughter in New York.
I received a call last summer from a mutual friend who told me she committed suicide. Tragic.
The last bit of the story is so heartbreaking... so sad. May her SRIEP 🙏🏽
That was the beauty of her music. She sang our lives.
I love that even without the actual video you can hear the moment everyone realized Tracy was there. Thanks for uploading the full song!
It's what I came here for.
I don’t know why you can’t see the live performance.
They sound perfect together
Their voices blend well. Tracey sounds like time has stood still, her voice is still perfection. Luke sings it phenomenal because it’s his favorite song and that definitely translates into this performance

They posted the entire Grammys except this performance
It’s on the Grammy website now. I just watched it.
Wow! This beautifully soulful song has always been a real jewel. Tracey and Luke’s voices are a peach-perfect match together! Just brilliant! Love this!
The way he looks at her💙 Luke is living his best life!
I lived this song. Tracy helped me get out. "Leave tonight or we could die this way." Most folks never get out even if they wanted to. That is tragic.
This should be released as a single. Wow.
I know. I can't believe they haven't released it by now.
It's coming soon!❤
She wrote one of the best songs ever and it would win again in 35 years if done by another good artist.I love how she has aged,almost regal and so warm in all her expressions
Perfect description of Tracy! There was something about her presence here that I couldn't articulate, but you just did. I really wish she would start touring again, I bet her shows would be packed.
Yes,If she had the motivation and need for the audiance or the cash.I think she is so spiritual she just doesn't require the material and ego things.
I love this still. I been crying hearing this two days past Grammys.❤ I can’t believe they were cheering for my girl. Been listening to her since 1988 as a 14 yrs old when this song came out. entire album is great. Thank you, Tracy and Luke.❤
❤❤❤
At 14 , she got caught up in a race riot , said a gun was shoved in her face and was told to run for her life. She miraculously got a scholarship to a private boarding school and the rest is history
❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
Me toooooooo. ❤❤❤❤
Same.
One of the saddest and most profoundly beautiful songs ever.
Yessss.
It’s so beautiful that we got the opportunity to witness two incredible artists come together and what a wonderful moment is was and I’m so thankful that we can now rewatch it
I like Luke Combs very much but is not in the pantheon of great artists yet. He may get there one day but he ain’t there yet. That’s why it’s astounding that Tracy got there with her very first song. A very profound song that seems to touch everyone’s heart.
This black Detroit 60's chick loved this duet! Loved tracy Chapman she was and is beautiful. I always loved country music along with soul and rock. This is a beautiful soulful combination.😊 Thank you luke combs for bringing this gem back on the charts.
This duet brings tears to my eyes. America needs more of this
There are very few song remakes that are any good at all to those of us that have been around long enough to hear the original.
THIS is a true exception! And for BOTH to be singing it together just knocks it right out of the universe!
One of the other rare remakes is Simon and Garfunkels Sound of Silence performed by Disturbed! For a pair of 66 year old ears these two remakes ride the express route right deep into my soul!💕💕
I totally agree
I don't get Luke Coombs' remake of Tracy's masterpiece. Really doesn't make any sense.
I love the addition of the violin. It adds to the poignancy of the song.
The way Luke Combs was looking at her, it was like his life was MADE. That man will die happy ❤️
Such an amazing performance. Iconic
listened to this multiple times… watched the full
vid from luke combs instagram (reels), their duet, its magical. she looked overwhelmingly happy with the response and luke gave her the respect she deserves. he looked like he was in cloud nine.
Young people, do not give up on your dreams. Stay with it, find your way, be patient, keep your goals in front of you. Love this song.
Amen ❤
It was the highlight of the Grammys. I hope Tracy knows how much she has brought to all of us that have been listening to her since this was a brand new song. She looked & sounded wonderful! ❤.
I would love it if the two of them recorded Fast Car as a duo like they did on the Grammys. It was sooooo amazing. I would buy that record❤
I remember seeing Tracy sing this when touring the UK back when she released this album…..just her, a high stool, a spotlight and the ICC full of stars…..her voice hasn’t changed one bit…..and it still touches your soul……
I really hope they release this version, sounds amazing as a duet.
Great post! In 1988 I was 35, working a temp job. I worked late and weekends in a basement office. I played Tracy's tape constantly.... Sang along when I was alone and wouldn't be disturbing anyone. I like this post because you see only the two performers. Don't care abt closeups of audience members. Tracy has such a beautiful face and shy sweet smile. Great to see her! Thank you. 😎💋🎶
I was also 33 then, newly married, working in a drycleaners where we had pop radio on all day. Gosh, we were so young then and didn't know it 😏 This song really was the cream on the top of many fantastic songs of the era 🌝
Why the hell is this so hard to find on TH-cam?!
Paramount is blocking them all is why
Man I was thinking the same thing.
I can watch a monkey f**k a frog- but good luck finding ‘Fast Car ’ by Tracy Chapman ft Luke Combs
@@Mr.C901This made me laugh out loud but like same 😅 I've been trying to find this performance and Billy Joel's for days and I'm STRUGGLING
Money to be made keeping it proprietary by the "man"; Ironic given the lyrics
I found it on daily motion then three hours later it was blocked.
With all the valid criticisms of the Grammies, once in a while, something like this comes along and reminds me (and hopefully others) that music can transcend.....this is so gorgeous in every possible way.
I’m just so proud of Luke, he realize what a treasure this song is. Bless Tracy
I remember this song when it first came out. I have no words, when I heard Tracy and Luke sang this! Beautiful!
I remember too… I was 12 and in 6th grade. I loved the song, loved Tracy Chapman, but I know now that I didn’t truly understand the words. Now, with a few more years behind me, this song is still one of my top ten, but for different reasons; it hits different now. A beautiful piece of musical art.
Yeah this was off the chain! Tracy gets better and better! Just love her voice! She is amazing! So glad she got on that stage. Luke was good too! Loved the two together! Yeah Fast Car is a classic and is timeless! Thank you Grammys for getting these two on stage! They won the Grammy of all time. Peace and love
So many great memories. Our first born came in 1988 and I would play this song and Baby can I hold you. He would fall asleep for hours with it softly playing in his nursery. Thank you Tracy❤ Great job on the remake Luke Combs.
Love Tracy Chapman. All her songs are on my playlist. They sounded great together!!!
Tracy. What a voice. What a smile.
This would have been the only reason for me to watch the grammys this year. I've been hoping and praying for this collaboration. I miss her voice and creativity.
I missed it too. We found it on X and it was literally removed asap. Why can’t they show it? It brings us happiness. Something we could all use a bit of right now. Well thank you for uploading the song. We can listen to them together. I appreciate it.
She is a national treasure.
Brought tears to my eyes. Tracy!
I hadn't heard Luke sing this, nor had I seen or heard this performance. I'm grateful I lived long enough to hear it
I have been listening to this everyday over and over.
This guy will remember being on that stage with tracy. Singing a classic for the rest of his life 💯. 🎤
I was shocked when I seen her at the Grammys..... the best song ever ❤ love her and Luke did an amazing job.....❤❤❤❤❤
This songs takes me back to high school. When life was carefree.
The fact that I didn't notice this was on a loop while listening proves how good a song/performance it is! I could just hear it forever.
It is wonderful to see and hear Tracy Chapman again!
Always loved this song. Wore it out when it came out. Grateful they did this song together. Wish Tracey was still performing but respect her views on performing. Just love her
Their voices complement each other
Metal head here!!! This is wonderful!!! Music! 🥹
Amen, rock on.
I love how both Tracy’s and Luke’s versions are playing together at the same time. It’s so symbiotic and so beautiful.
When Tracy's song hit the radio in 1988, I went to get that album that very day...no one can tell a story in song better than this!
I personally detest the Grammy Awards, but occassionally a gem comes out the sesspool. This was an amazing performance by Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs.
This needs to be released as a duet!
Couldn't find it anywhere!!! Now I can hear it on a loop!! Thanks SO much!!
It's nice to see how life still surprises you in different ways.
This music reminds me of my late Dad. This was one of his favorite music . And also reminded me of my childhood
Your late dad had good taste of music ❤❤
I love this version with both of them......
I love this song!! My God does she still sound incredible 😍
I have been listening to the feedback on this performance with all the speculation on the artists, their gender, race, even the sexuality was commented on CNN..... What makes this song resonate so deeply now in 2024 ? Why now? The song itself, the message of yearning and hope and desperation and the realization that life is bittersweet and its so often filled with nothing but unrealized dreams. I was 20 years old in 1988..I walking back from class listening to a mixtape my girlfriend had put together . I sat down on the steps of my apartment and bawled my eyes out because i felt the desperation of trying to make a life.. make choices... to find myself in the world .. the frustration of wanting to go and be something anything anyone.... Im 55 now... and the song hits me just as hard now in 2024 as it did in 1988. This song like Rich Men North of Richmond- hits because it is devoid of the political filter , the cultural bias speaks to the human condition and the human soul... I was in into Guns and Roses, Metallica, Ozzy etc.... but later that afternoon I took what little money I had and bought her album/cassette... and listened to it because it was crafted and sung by a woman who was... this is the key word here.... AUTHENTIC.
Great song beyond words. I remember hearing it for the first time in 1988 and the guitar riff was haunting. Never listened to the words in detail until now in 2024... I nearly wept. omg, so good. What a tragic story!
Thank you for posting this loop of this brilliant performance of a BRILLIANT song. I was so thrilled to see that present generation can deLIGHT in this.
How a song can make you feel like was 30 years ago and make a tear fall from your eyes!! How poor it's the music today.. ALL!!
Thanks for posting! This is an amazing song and both Luke and Tracy make a wonderful "musical couple"!
A beautiful and sad story of hope. I cannot stop re-playing performance from Grammy’s. Incredible. I love how Combs shows such deference to Chapman. Her words resonate. Can remember when I took a fast car …
I am So Happy I saw this performance. I usually miss the Grammys. This performance was Phenomenal 💕
Fiddle and Steel pedal adds magic to this masterpiece
Thank you, Grammy !
One of the Best Duets ever.
This song has always tugged at my heart strings. God bless you Tracy for writing and allowing Luke to bring it to a new generation.
I teared up at the beginning when Chapman smiled. They are both gracious, incredible humans, and you can feel that. Their harmony is perfect.
One of the few perfect duets.
They are pure magic together... Tracey's voice takes me back to the day I first heard her sing..
I can't think of any one who can accompany her like Luke does...
Tracy vino a Argentina en 1988 con la gira de Amnesty, yo tenía 13 años y me enamoré de su música y sus letras. Hoy no paro de emocionarme al volver a escuchar y ver tanta belleza. Gracias por musicalizar mi vida❤.
Glad to see Luke Combs doing justice to Tracy Chapman's song!!!
I just keep playing this over and over. This was the Best Performances at the Grrammys. I only watched to see them.
Brillant. THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE GRAMMY'S.
This song played graduation night in 1992
Me and my brother, my other brother and our best friend were drinking her passion with her purple passion sunglasses on riding around in the powerlines for wheeling and listening to this song
It was the best memory I’ve held dear to me all these years Tracy Chapman song stayed with me all these years as a favorite
I’ve listen to it on road trips. I listen to it sitting at home and when Luke Combs re did it, I love that as well but the two of you can bind it’s just a magical touch.
Reminding me of a memory, that was a favorite and will always be a favorite memory, my whole life ❤️🙌🏼
What an epic song.This was the duet that the whole world was waiting for.Just beautiful.
Loved it when it first came out, could listen to the loop forever. They totally work, together.
These voices were made for each other
Love this song!! Finally the full song!!
I love how they both own this song. Reminds me of when Adam Lambert sang Chers "Do You Believe In Life After Love!" I love when another artist can also own a song and make as amazing as the original performer. I feel it is the largest compliment anyone can give the original artist.
Tears and goosebumps everytime I hear it.... an amazing performance.
Been in my head since Sunday night, can’t tell how much times I have replayed it.. just epic
She’s a fine artist and genuine writer: quality speaks for itself!
The song was great then , sad but great. Still sad ,but Even Greater Now!! Brought tears back then, and the same years later! Beautiful! Much respect for respect!
It was fall 1996 when I heard this song. I was only 14 years old. My friends here in Canada played Luke's version. And I called it saying "Tracy Chapman" man, oh man. A lot of nostalgia over here after almost 30 years after.
I can't stop listening to this version of a song that relives my youth. Kudos to Tracy and Luke. I LOVE THIS VERSION!
There is something in this song that relates to every person on the planet.
There are just some perfect songs that can cross genres.
The audio here is great, thanks!
Tracy Chapman is number one on iTunes today!
The crazy thing is that it has been remade in a big song in hip hop by nice and smooth. That gives you an idea of how influential this song has become.
The love, so thick. This is America.
Tracy's voice has aged like a fine wine - what a performance!
Best part of the Grammys. Such an amazing song.
Music brings everything and everyone together this is how world should be ❤❤❤
Thanks so much for posting this. Couldn’t find it at all. So touching everyone’s 💕
It was the most amazing duet ever done !
Tracy has been one of my most beloved singer songwriters since 1988 & Luke covered her song so wonderfully! There duet was so beautiful, thanks for posting the full song. What a beautiful song, love love love this!! Thanks, Tracy’s my girl, I can’t stop singing this song.❤❤❤😊
I remember when this song came out. I was a kid so I didn't think much of it. Now that I have experienced life I understand what she is saying.
Thank you so much for posting. Had to miss the performance but Tracy still sounds amazing and I know it made Luke's dreams come true to sing with her. What amazing voices! Thanks again.
Thanks for the Loop !!!!!!
Someone finally posted it holy shit
Darn, nice audio recording (that is not on iTunes!) but not the video. Well done on the still shots though.
This song has crossed generations and all music genres. From the first pluck of her guitar string, I can close my eyes and feel my body swaying slowing…standing at my sink with three kids pulling on me…and me wanting to be someone…I think she made us all feel like we wanted to be someone…still to this day I feel the same as the girl who only wanted to belong!
