Tracy Chapman’s 1988 track ‘Fast Car’ has been named song and single of the year at the Country Music Association Awards.

35 years on since the single was first released, it has been recognised after artist Luke Combs released a cover version this year which reached number two in the US and number 30 in the UK this summer.

The award marks Chapman as the first Black songwriter to win Song of the Year in the award’s 57-year history.
