Chapman was signed to Elektra Records by Bob Krasnow in 1987. The following year she released her critically acclaimed debut album Tracy Chapman, which became a multi-platinum worldwide hit. The album garnered Chapman six Grammy Award nominations, including Album of the Year, three of which she won, including Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for her single "Fast Car", and Best New Artist. Chapman released her second album Crossroads the following year, which garnered her an additional Grammy nomination. Since then, Chapman has experienced further success with six more studio albums, which include her multi-platinum fourth album New Beginning, for which she won a fourth Grammy award, for Best Rock Song, for its lead single "Give Me One Reason". Chapman's most recent release is Our Bright Future, in 2008.
Tracy Chapman is the self-titled debut album by 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 only eight weeks. Most of the writing is based on political and social causes.

If you wait for me Then I'll come for you Although I've travelled far I always hold a place for you In my heart If you think of me If you miss me once in a while Then I'll return to you I'll return and fill that space in your heart Chorus- Remembering your touch Your kiss Your warm embrace I'll find my way Back to you If you'll be waiting 2nd verse- If you dream of me Like I dream of you In a place that's warm and dark In a place where I can feel The beating of your heart (chorus) I've longed for you And I have desired To see your face your smile To be with you wherever you are (chorus) 3rd verse- Please say you'll be waiting Together again It would feel so good to be in your arms Where all my journeys end If you make a promise If it's one that you can keep I vow to come for you If you wait for me And say you'll hold A place for me
