Please note a correction: Tracy Chapman's debut album was released in 1988, not 1987.  Also, the track list for this album may have been edited in when I referenced the Crossroad's album.  Late-night editing is not without consequences!    I fixed these issues and re-uploaded the episode but you may have caught these errors in my first round. -Amy

Thank you for tuning in!  On today's episode, we are taking a look back at the life and career of Tracy Chapman.  I have loved Tracy Chapman since I was a little kid,  I first heard her music while traveling in a (not very fast) car with my mom.  You will learn about her early days growing up in a tough part of Cleveland, Ohio from her discovery as a young college student, to her ongoing impact as a professional musician for decades. 

I mentioned that I have done an episode covering "In Living Color."  You can find that here:  https://www.popcultureretrospective.com/70-in-living-color/
