Greatest Hits (Tracy Chapman Album)
''Greatest Hits'' is a greatest hits album by American singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman, released on November 20, 2015, by Elektra and Rhino. It is the second compilation of her career, following ''Collection'' from 2001, and the first available in the United States. All tracks were chosen by Chapman herself. The collection received positive reviews. Reception James Christopher Monger of AllMusic gave the album four out of five stars, calling it "a nice mix of hits and deep cuts". He also singled out Chapman's "emotionally pitch-perfect, spotlight-stealing rendition" of " Stand by Me": "Performed live on the ''Late Show with David Letterman'' in the waning days of the program's final season. With just her voice and an electric guitar, she managed to simultaneously bring the house down and build it back up again, which is no small feat, even for an artist who has proven herself time and again to be a powerful yet always benevolent force of nature."

Tracy Chapman (album)
''Tracy Chapman'' is the debut album by American singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman, released on April 5, 1988, by Elektra Records. The album was recorded at the Powertrax studio in Hollywood, California. In 1987, Chapman was discovered by fellow Tufts University student Brian Koppelman. He offered to show her work to his father, who owned a successful publishing company; however, she did not consider the offer to be serious. After multiple performances, however, Koppelman found a demo tape of her singing her single "Talkin' 'bout a Revolution", which he promoted to radio stations, and she was eventually signed to Elektra Records. In early attempts to produce the first album, many producers turned down Chapman as they did not favor her musical direction. David Kershenbaum, however, decided to produce it as he wanted to record an acoustic music album. It was recorded in Hollywood, California, in eight weeks. Most of the writing is based on political and social causes. ''Tracy Chapma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Baby Can I Hold You
"Baby Can I Hold You" is the third single released by American contemporary folk artist Tracy Chapman, released in October 1988. The song reached the top 50 in the United States, unlike its predecessor, "Talkin' 'bout a Revolution", but it failed to become Chapman's second top 40 hit, peaking at number 48. It did, however, give her a second chart entry on the US Adult Contemporary charts, peaking at number 19 in early 1989. Given the commercial decline Chapman suffered following the release of her second album ''Crossroads'', "Baby Can I Hold You" also became her last top 50 hit until 1996's "Give Me One Reason". In July 1990, the song reached number one in Portugal. Chapman re-released the song in 2001, in support of her first greatest hits album '' Collection''. Charts Certifications Boyzone version In 1997, Irish boy band Boyzone released a cover of "Baby Can I Hold You" as a double A-side with the non-album track " Shooting Star".
