One of the best songs ever written. It brings me to tears every time i hear it. So incredibly painful but oh so beautiful.

This should be released as a single. Wow.

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 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...

One of the saddest and most profoundly beautiful songs ever.

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 love that even without the actual video you can hear the moment everyone realized Tracy was there. Thanks for uploading the full song!

The way he looks at her💙 Luke is living his best life!

As a fan of Tracy since the early 90’s. This was absolutely incredible seeing it. She’s still killing it at 59. She hasn’t missed a beat.

She is a national treasure.

This duet brings tears to my eyes. America needs more of this

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

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.

I love the addition of the violin. It adds to the poignancy of the song.

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.❤

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

Tracy. What a voice. What a smile.

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

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.

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.

These voices were made for each other

Why the hell is this so hard to find on KZfaq?!

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❤

It is wonderful to see and hear Tracy Chapman again!

I really hope they release this version, sounds amazing as a duet.

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.

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!💕💕

Their voices complement each other

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’m just so proud of Luke, he realize what a treasure this song is. Bless Tracy

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.

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

The love, so thick. This is America.

I remember this song when it first came out. I have no words, when I heard Tracy and Luke sang this! Beautiful!

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

I was shocked when I seen her at the Grammys..... the best song ever ❤ love her and Luke did an amazing job.....❤❤❤❤❤

One of the few perfect duets.

Metal head here!!! This is wonderful!!! Music! 🥹

This guy will remember being on that stage with tracy. Singing a classic for the rest of his life 💯. 🎤

This songs takes me back to high school. When life was carefree.

Brought tears to my eyes. Tracy!

Love Tracy Chapman. All her songs are on my playlist. They sounded great together!!!

I love this version with both of them......

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.

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

Fiddle and Steel pedal adds magic to this masterpiece

There are just some perfect songs that can cross genres.

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 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……

It's nice to see how life still surprises you in different ways.

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!!

This needs to be released as a duet!

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

Glad to see Luke Combs doing justice to Tracy Chapman's song!!!

Brillant. THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE GRAMMY'S.

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.

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.

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!

This music reminds me of my late Dad. This was one of his favorite music . And also reminded me of my childhood

I just keep playing this over and over. This was the Best Performances at the Grrammys. I only watched to see them.

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.

I love how both Tracy’s and Luke’s versions are playing together at the same time. It’s so symbiotic and so beautiful.

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!

Couldn't find it anywhere!!! Now I can hear it on a loop!! Thanks SO much!!

She’s a fine artist and genuine writer: quality speaks for itself!

Love this song!! Finally the full song!!

Tears and goosebumps everytime I hear it.... an amazing performance.

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 💕

It was the most amazing duet ever done !

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.

Someone finally posted it holy shit

Thanks for posting! This is an amazing song and both Luke and Tracy make a wonderful "musical couple"!

Loved it when it first came out, could listen to the loop forever. They totally work, together.

Music brings everything and everyone together this is how world should be ❤❤❤

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. 😎💋🎶

Been in my head since Sunday night, can’t tell how much times I have replayed it.. just epic

Best part of the Grammys. Such an amazing song.

What an epic song.This was the duet that the whole world was waiting for.Just beautiful.

This is his “full circle” moment!!! ❤

Keep playing this over and over❤

I can't stop listening to this version of a song that relives my youth. Kudos to Tracy and Luke. I LOVE THIS VERSION!

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❤.

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...

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!

A song about The Everyman.

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 ❤️🙌🏼

Tracy Chapman is number one on iTunes today!

Tracy's voice has aged like a fine wine - what a performance!

Brings me back to the 80s when I first heard on the car radio

I have been listening to this everyday over and over.

Fantastic song and performance! Gave me chills...so candid and raw

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.

It doesn't get any better than this.

Darn, nice audio recording (that is not on iTunes!) but not the video. Well done on the still shots though.

Thanks for the Loop !!!!!!

Thanks so much for posting this. Couldn’t find it at all. So touching everyone’s 💕

I so hope they’ll record that!!!

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.

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.
