Tracy Chapman wins Song Of The Year at CMA for "Fast Car".

[MarathonMike]

Where are all the Woke panty bunchers who squealed RACISM when Luke Combs had a smash hit covering Fast Car? LOL Tracy Chapman has never been more rich or famous for her great song.

Shouldn't country be awarding country songs....ridiculous

 

[Dekster]

Tracy Chapman came out in support of his cover (and her payday)

 

[Lord-Humungus]

I feel I’ve missed something

It was a decent song.....How it passes for "country" I don't have a clue.

It was popular when I could still wear a medium shirt. I don’t understand why it’s an issue now. Shit will we see the Mozart win a Grammy for Best New Artist next? Was this awarded to shut people up over some made up controversy I have ignored?

I've never heard it but a high school friend of mine won as producer for album of the year.

Jay Joyce.

 

[BackAgain]

I prefer the new country cover to the original. But both are good.

You haven’t missed anything.

The OP has taken something totally non political and has tried to make it into yet another dimension of his being a victim.

Not a "country" song but it was sung by a country singer.

Luke obviously was a fan of the song but Tracy gets as much attention because it was her song. It's a win-win.

Pop crossover songs have been around for a long time.
I have always thought that Bob Seger should do a country song.

He's too whiney.

Me too

I never heard of tracy chapman or a song called “fast cars”

I suspect I havent missed much

It’s a country song because it’s about cars, er, or something

I thought it had to be about PU trucks to qualify for country or at the very least a bootlegging car..

Fast cars are more of a Beach Boys type of thing.



Maybe Motley Crue or ZZ Top

 

[Mac-7]

This is the perfect country and western song

What year were you born?

Great music stands the test of time, obviously this one has.



“I just recorded it because I love this song so much,” he said. “It’s meant so much to me throughout my entire life.”


The original version of the song reached No. 6 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart in 1988. It won Chapman three Grammy Award nominations in 1989, including for song of the year. She won for best female pop vocalist.

What year were you born?

What difference does that make?

You haven't heard the song, it obviously makes a big difference.

That song is about 30 years old, isn't it?
