Thanks?! What?! It was he who was thanking her as he should be. She didn't care if the song was brought back. Chapman is the one that did him the favor and he rightfully acknowledged that. She already won bigger awards with that song. She didn't need nor care about the money. She wasn't asking anyone to help her by covering it and bringing it back to the radio.

I always loved the original version, and I'm not really a big country music fan, but I love Luke's version too. So heartfelt and genuine, you can tell just by listening, that he was a fan.

Tracy did get Song of the Year at the Country Music Awards because she wrote Fast Car. She got an award and Luke got an award. Without Luke’s cover of Fast Car, Tracy wouldn’t have gotten a County Music Award.

And Tracy got multiple awards when this came out in the 80’s! Multiple.

Despite the way it feels right now Luke and Tracy represent what makes our country amazing. We are the only culture where something like this can happen. I really respect Luke for honoring her work and not even changing the lyrics. I grew up in the 70s looking like Tracy. With a grandfather that looked like Luke. We’d drive in his giant Caddy listening to Hank Williams and Haggard and Willie. I’ll never forget that long ocean drive, the moon resting on the ocean as I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry played over and over. We didn’t say anything. Just listened. Each time the song ended one of us would rewind (old tech) and it would play again.

I don't listen to country but he did a good on this. Tracy Chapman wrote a masterpiece and I don't even listen to rock music either. It was cool that he thanked Tracy.

All the drama on both sides.......Luke and Tracy are just super happy ❤ Good music is good music.

#TracyChapman the #OG of #FastCar!!!!

Not a fan of modern country. Reason why is not important. But I had no idea this song had been covered by a country artist. And frankly had I just stumbled upon it on the radio I probably would have turned my nose up at it. But the first I heard about it was seeing that Tracy Chapman won a CMA which I immediately thought I would have to check snopes to disprove. But it was true. And NOT ONLY THAT, Combs did a VERY GOOD cover. with proper respect to Chapman. More importantly Combs & Chapman gave this very very polarized world a fantastic example. Combs' and Chapman's audiences come from very very different worlds (not better, not worse, different) and they all just found commonality in this song. Maybe some pre-conceived ideas of both audiences just got loosened?

Hope the award also given to tracy chapman

to answer the question I think you are getting at. NO--she does not get an award for single of the year. That is an award for the recording performance. And Chapman did not record Fast Car in 2023. HOWEVER--there is a completely separate award. "Song of the Year" which is for the writer of the song. She DID win that award. AND just as Chapman did not "qualify" for single of the year because she didn't do this recording. Combs did not "qualify" for song of the year because he did not write the song. Nobody received unwarranted recognition. And nobody was denied recognition they deserved.

What? A remake won!!

imna cover Imagine from John Lennon, and then win all the awards again.

Classic Tracey Chapman song, she did it right and she did it best. LC version is not as clear to hear over the loud accompanying music.

It didn't used to be, that white artists would acknowledge the black influences on their music. Not American ones anyway. The British would be more forthcoming that way. So, it's a sign of progress that Tracy Chapman's great song, is realizing a new popularity in a different genre of music. However it happens to make such magic between artists, it's only right and wonderful that this happens to the best of them.

It’s not original though, I get it. It’s a lovely song but by Tracy Chapman. Cody or Morgan definitely earned that

Getting an award for a cover song is wild
