The First Black Woman to win Country Song of the Year: Tracy Chapman
This week, Sadie introduces us to the talented artist Tracy Chapman, who most recently performed at the Grammy Awards Show. Tracy Chapman, known for her powerful songs and unique voice, has recently gained attention again thanks to Luke Combs' award-winning cover of her hit "Fast Car." In this episode, Stauney and Sadie discuss how Chapman mixed her music with activism, touching on topics like social change while keeping her personal life private. The recognition of "Fast Car" by the CMA highlights how Chapman's work continues to appeal to new generations and remains relevant today, and even secured her the spot as the first Black artist to ever win the Song of the Year at the CMA's. We talk about her successful career, rise to fame, activism, and recent resurgence on the Billboard Hot 100.
