American singer Tracy Chapman has created history by becoming the first black person to win “Song of the Year” at the CMAs (Country Music Awards).

The 59-year-old copped the award at the recent award ceremony in Nashville. She won it for Fast Car, a track she released over three decades ago when she was 24 years old.

Fast Car peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart following its released 35 years ago. The song was nominated for three Grammys when it first came out, and Chapman won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
