Tracy’s song “Fast Car” has finally received recognition, with a Black artist winning songwriter of the year at the Country Music Association awards.
Despite some frustration, the moment is seen as significant and well-deserved.
The song also has personal significance for some, with references to a comedic sketch on “In Living Color.”
