Tracy Chapman Biography

Tracy Chapman is an American singer-songwriter, best known for her singles: 'Fast Car', 'Talkin' 'bout A Revolution' and 'Baby Can I Hold You' from her self entitled titled debut album 'Tracy Chapman'.

Coming from the coffee shop scene in Massachusetts Tracy not only sold multi platinum amounts and won three Grammy Awards for her debut, she changed music history and paved the way for other acts like R.E.M with more indie sounds and political lyrics.

Interestingly enough, when the electric guitar strikes back a few years later it is with dirty grunge like Nirvana, punk like Green Day and the angry political metal hip hop of RATM.
