It's sad that such masterpiece has only 40 something thousand views, but some other crop has in the millions. Love you Tracy, you continue to inspire many across this world.
It is amazing to think that Tracy was virtually unheard of when she performed this song... The story goes that Stevie Wonder was due to perform but he pulled out at the last minute, refusing to peform, so Tracy Chapman, who was just starting her music career at the time, was backstage at the concert, and stepped in to perform instead. The rest, as they say, is history! This is probably one of the most beautiful songs ever written,and how one woman can hold the focus of so many people is amazing!
“I do believe that if enough people think something can happen, that eventually turns into action. People don’t realize they do have the power to change things.”
One Woman, one song made history, because the lyrics will stay with us: While they're standing in the welfare lines Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation Wasting time in unemployment lines Sitting around waiting for a promotion Don't you know you're talking about a revolution It sounds like a whisper And finally the tables are starting to turn Talking about a revolution Yes, Finally the tables are starting to turn
You really see in her eyes how much this song means to her - the pain in the eyes, the power of the voice - the truth to be spoken - actions must be taken
Adele who???

Thanks for the link, my dear friend, Robert. I'd almost forgotten about the pure unadulterated talent that is Ms. Chapman.
