I remember that day, I remember this specific moment, it was around 2am, I was there since 10am the day before ! We stood in the cold Paris waiting for the opportunity to enter the place, run until the stage so we can enjoy the moment, be there just because we HAD to be there. Tracy's set was awesone (with Andy Stoller on Bass, Steven Hunter on Guitar and Denny Fongheiser on Drums), I haven't

Here's a promo for a radio show from a friend, Michael Davies-Venn, I met online through my website. We exchanged some emails and I guess he's one of those important encounters I made. Michael Davies-Venn is a freelance writer, journalist and media consultant focusing on broadcast journalism and politics. He is originally from Freetown, Sierra Leone, West Africa and is based in the United States

An interview from 2003 of Tracy Chapman has been broadcasted on France Inter (french radio station) in the show "Sur La Route". Dubed in French, the English speakers would hear Tracy's speaking voice behind. Tracy talks about the show Tribute to Nelson Mandela in June 1988, how she experienced the event. Quite interesting and not expected at all! You can listen to the show online during 7 days.

A quick update on the "Dear Tracy" project: I received lots of submissions, for now I have something like 25 eligible letters ready to be published, but I need more to make a book! So some self promotion made by Mr Dylan in person doesn't hurt :) This "movie" is made to promote the release of a Bob Dylan "best of" box called DYLAN. Buy it if you're new to Dylan!

Those songs written by Tracy Chapman performed live here and there, and not published on any album are some priceless jewels. What Child is This is one of my favorite, thanx to the1980srocked for uploading those videos from the 1988 Bridge Benefit Concert on YouTube!

[As said on the website], 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. With all those letters [emails] I'm going to gather I plan to

"Fast Car" ranked #165 of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time according to Rolling Stone Magazine (december 2004). It's interesting to see that "Fast Car" is THE hit in the US (with "Give Me One Reason") while in France "Talkin'Bout A Revolution" is The hit (and "Fast Car" didn't even released as a single). Some would think that the USA is nation where cars are important and that revolution
