American singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman is still breaking barriers with her 1988 hit song Fast Car. At the 2023 Country Music Awards – held on November 8th at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee – Fast Car won song of the year.

The record is back in the spotlight because earlier this year, country star Luke Combs released a cover version. Tracy Chapman is the first Black songwriter to win Song of the Year in the CMA’s 57-year history.
