[AM Matt]

I wonder if singer Tracy Chapman thought about Joan???

 

[Mr Bill]

I think Joan was probably frustrated that this young upstart burst out the gate straight to number one doing the same kind of music she had been doing for two decades. Chapman is practically a young clone of Armatrading, and not just musically...
