“Dear Tracy, 101 letters to Tracy Chapman” book release
As the webmaster of this website, I receive lots of emails of people from all over the world wanting to write to Tracy Chapman for one or another reason. Being unable to give them Tracy’s personal email adress, I had the idea of requesting everyone wanting to tell something to Tracy to write her a letter.*
It gave “Dear Tracy”: music listeners took the opportunity to speak their heart and story to the musician who’s about to receive a copy of the book. Assuming that those touched by Tracy’s music could be interested in reading other touching stories, this book is also for sale for anyone. As if it was still to do, it demonstrates how much the artist and her music can interact with people’s life.
ORDER “DEAR TRACY” ON BLURB.COM (please be aware that it will take you 2 or 3 weeks to receive the book)
Want to know if your letter is published? Here the list of all the published authors

love ur idea!
Tracy,
So proud of you, (for many years now)! Do you remember the Ohio Youth Conservation Corps at Kent State? If I can remember, it was the summer of 1979. I will forever be amazed by your talent. I so enjoyed the camp fires and radiance of your beautiful voice and guitar.
Sincerely,
Kathy Thompson Walls
Hi Tracy,
I saw you in LAX yesterday, and wanted to say hello to you, but was too shy to approach you. Just wanted to say I love your music, and I hope you will be on tour soon! NYC awaits your return!
Be well.
Mai
dear tracy
You saved me.
thank you
I hear inspiration in your words.
Tracy,
I really would need to talk to you, please.
It’s about love. I’m afraid of losing my little princess and you could save us. Our relationship started in February 2006 thanks to your song “The promise”. We were at your gig in Dublin on 12th December 2008.
If I could get a chance to tell you the full story I know you would help me.
This is absolutely no joke.
If somebody can put me in touch with her I’ll give whatever it takes.
Thanks.
Tracy, i am a lesser talented then you singer songwriter and have been a big fan for over a decade. What moves me in your music is your voice and the emotions in it. also You radiate so much love, like an angle. I am the same astrological sign as you and i expect that if i may sing backgroundvocals to your singing it will sound fabulous. i request you to email me in response to my wish. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. By the way I am jewish and I was born in Israel
Hi Tracy! Your music and words carried me through some tough years, long before I knew who you were or much about life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and I hope to see you in concert some day.
