Last Wednesday the class read an article on Tracy Chapman and listened to her music. Tracy Chapmans music is a lot like story telling, but not as noticeable. She became very popular for singing about topics many other artists wouldn't. Chapmans music had a way that connected to her audience like no other. She sang about homelessness and her father being an alcoholic, rather than singing about drugs and partying, like many other musicians. Her song "Fast Car" I've listened to plenty of times because my parents loved her music. Chapman truly has a pure soul and is a huge success with making herself known, being a young black woman was hard enough in the industry. On top of winning three Grammys, she graduated from Tufts University at twenty-four years old. I loved that she was such a humble woman who only wanted to help change the world.
