Having seen James Brown twice, I can confirm that he has "style", by the truck load. Before the first show we were speculating if he would bust out a cape. First song, the purple cape with the white interior, and sequins all over. Third song, another cape, fifth song another cape. And one at the encore. It's not a Man's World. It's James Brown's world, and Luciano Pavorotti's world too. RIP to both superstars.
Oh man. I was born in the wrong time. Never got to see JB live. But my older cuz saw the concert in NYC with BB King when Michael Jackson and Prince came on stage. RIP to all 5. The music legends and my cousin
That truly was amazing. I didn't know how it was going to work but it did. The respect between the two of them was visible and then the embrace at the end told it all.
James Brown is something else, his presence on stage and the way in which he commands that legendary recognizable voice of his is just amazing, truly one of a kind I can only imagine what it was like to see James Brown live
Brad, you should see vintage James Brown with his amazing James Brown Band where he is doing all these dance moves and doing the splits while just singing like crazy. They didn't call him the Godfather of Soul for nothing. But yeah, the original definitely has the orchestra and everything in it. This was 100% the James Brown version and Pavarotti just worked into it perfectly. What a beautiful collaboration.
Same here. I saw him when he was in his 70s a few years before he passed and he was absolutely electrifying. He was probably only on stage for a total of 45 minutes, but they were all sizzle. His band was fantastic, and they made the whole show about 75 - 90 minutes long with their long intro and outro sequences. So glad I got to see him. One of the all time greats for sure.
When I saw the thumbnail for this I thought "What?? This can't be a real thing!" But that was REALLY cool! Loved the mutual admiration they had for each other.
Thank you, I didn't know how much I needed to see James's passion right now. Thank you James Brown, you are one of my soul brothers. You make my heart sing and feet dance Mr. Brown. Pavarotti was great too. Wow, his voice was amazing!
The huge amount of admiration and respect they have for each other that is just open and obvious despite being from two different styles is amazing. Also it worked very well. I wasn’t sure the first time watching but A+
I loved and still love James Brown.. I was a kid and my uncle had his first mono albums with the famous flames. As I got older I saw him a few times and had the opportunity to meet him and talk to him for a few minutes.. I never saw or met Pavarotti … I wish I had.
This is definitely a meeting of the Icons, doesn't matter that one is the Godfather of Soul, and the other is urguably the Greatest Tenor that ever lived, this is one for the ages,So Good.
The original version has a string session and operatic/grandiose arrangement too. Most songs back then had real instruments and many times lush productions. There was a whole team of musicians creating pure magic.
Pavarotti did a good duet with Skin from Skunk Anansie of You Follow Me Down, check that out. In fact definitely react to some Skunk Anansie. I think Brad will love the singers voice and Lex will enjoy the music.
Great performance, one of the best. James Please Please Please is exceptional also. Christine Aguilera a top tier singer did a fantastic cover of It's a Man's World.
The orchestra is used even more in this version but the original does feature a string arrangement. Jazz and Soul are significantly related to Classical, Marching Band music and Opera.
Check out JB's "Prisoner of Love" of love for another example. A lot of Doo Woop and Early Rock was based off of classical motifs that became transposed to these styles. "Heart and Soul" is one example.
Yeah kids when I was around I don't know 8 years old I used to wait I had this little philco radio and I would just listen to that thing until Tucson's came on one that I waited for was The Troggs they did a song called wild thing and the other was Papa's Got a Brand New Bag by James Brown man I was already in the crossover. Way back then I mean here's this little Suburban white Punk Justine first or second grade and I'm listening to James Brown I'm digging it and of course I still do yep he was the hardest working man in Showbiz

Pavarotti: Man/(the mankind) chases power but he doesn't know that the great limit has to be how it will be done.

Brown: Man thinks about a little bitty baby girl And a baby boy Man makes then happy Because man makes them toys
And after man made other things he can Man makes liras, pesos, dollars, rupees To buy for every good woman and every man
This is a man's world, Pavarotti: Nulla ha piú senso se si vive solo per sé. Brown: But it wouldn't be nothing, Without a woman or a girl. Pavarotti: Solo per sé.
Brown: He's lost in the wilderness, He's lost in bitterness. Pavarotti: Se non si accorge che poi nulla ha piú senso se si vive solo per sé, solo per sé, per sé. Brown: This is a man's world, yeah.

I highly recommend Cecilia Bartoli, "Agitata da due venti." What she does with her voice here is unreal. Then try songs from her 1992 album If You Love Me.

I got the privilege at Woodstock 99 and even at his age atm absolutely brilliant showman
That truly was amazing. I didn't know how it was going to work but it did. The respect between the two of them was visible and then the embrace at the end told it all.
Mr.Pavarotti was singing that "Nothing makes sense, when one lives only for themselves "
James Brown was called the hardest working man in show business. You should watch more of him even if it's not for reactions.
I'm an old white dude who has loved James Brown since I was a kid. .... I feel good 👍🏻 and Get up off a that Thang are funky!!!!
This is a mash-up that I never knew I wanted. Wow. Two powerful vocalists giving it their all. Wonderful!!
Great choice. This is one of my favorite performances of all time

We need some "Superbad" on this channel!!
I got to see Pavorati back in the 90s. I regret I never saw James Brown live. This duet is sublime.
Lucky enough to have seen James Brown in concert. He was older but still delivered. 👍❤🤙

damn I just love the wide grin with the almost closed eyes and many teeth of James Brown. It just gives me a good feeling just looking at it
I'm so so happy you are reacting to this. This is such a gem 💎
James Brown tickled pink to have Pavarotti singing his song. Awesome.
When gods sing....
With James Brown i want to dance, cheering me up,and Pavarotti gives me chills flying in paradise!!!
When I saw the thumbnail for this I thought "What?? This can't be a real thing!" But that was REALLY cool! Loved the mutual admiration they had for each other.

You guys should react to…
Luciano Pavarotti & Dolores O'Riordan - Ave Maria (Live)
🎙🤘
The huge amount of admiration and respect they have for each other that is just open and obvious despite being from two different styles is amazing. Also it worked very well. I wasn’t sure the first time watching but A+
Holy crap, that was amazing! What a mash-up no one asked for but is what we needed! Wow!
I loved and still love James Brown.. I was a kid and my uncle had his first mono albums with the famous flames. As I got older I saw him a few times and had the opportunity to meet him and talk to him for a few minutes.. I never saw or met Pavarotti … I wish I had.

James Brown on the TAMI SHOW is not to be missed. Epic history from 1965.
Wow!!!! Hadn't heard this version...Bravo!!!
I absolutely love this...thanks for the reaction!
One of the coolest collabs I've ever seen! 👍
Great singers, great orchestration, great musicians, great arrangement. Great!!
The original version has a string session and operatic/grandiose arrangement too. Most songs back then had real instruments and many times lush productions. There was a whole team of musicians creating pure magic.

Both of these men were beyond superlatives.
James Brown, the hardest working Man in Show Business.

Epic.!!
Two of the Goats of there Craft simply amazing
Great performance, one of the best. James Please Please Please is exceptional also. Christine Aguilera a top tier singer did a fantastic cover of It's a Man's World.
Check out James Brown & Joe Cocker together, MAD ENERGY
Pavarotti was one of a kind. You should check you "Ave Maria" and "La Donna e mobile"
Love James brown. One my favorite songs
The respect Pavarotti shows to James brown should let all the highbrows know that James brown has some serious chops.
you should try o sole mio. its the three tenors in 1994. pavarottti is amazing in it.
When you listen to this music you hear greatness you know
That was strangers then David Bowie and Bing Crosby, Elton John and Eminem. Thanks and thumbs up.

Great choice!
Classic!! Pavoratti did duets with a lot of pop artists
Now you must hear and see him to understand. 💯👑
Pavarotti with Tracy Chapman and her song, " Baby can I Hold You".
Brad if you interested in learning more about James Brown, check out his performance at The TAMI Show.
I got to see James Brown in concert many years ago.
Panis Angelicus
Sung by Luciano Pavarotti and Sting. Arguably best duo.
Yeah kids when I was around I don't know 8 years old I used to wait I had this little philco radio and I would just listen to that thing until Tucson's came on one that I waited for was The Troggs they did a song called wild thing and the other was Papa's Got a Brand New Bag by James Brown man I was already in the crossover.

che il grande limite ha da essere come si fará.
Nel palmo stringe un ‘idea

Pavarotti: Man/(the mankind) chases power but he doesn't know
that the great limit has to be how it will be done.
In the palm he holds an idea
who does not live,
that in his fantasy… he wanted

nothing makes sense anymore if

It's a Man's Man's Man's World lyrics
Artist: Luciano Pavarotti •Featuring artist: James Brown
Album: Pavarotti & Friends
Brown: This is a man's world, this is a man's world and
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl
You see, man made the cars
To take us over the road
Man made the trains
To carry heavy loads
Man made electric lights
To take us out of the dark
And man made the boat for the water,
Like my bible says Noah made the ark
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl
Pavarotti: L'uomo rincorre il potere ma lui non sa
che il grande limite ha da essere come si fará.
Nel palmo stringe un ‘idea
che non vive,
che nella sua fantasia… volle
se non si accorge che poi
nulla ha piú senso se
si vive solo per sé.
Brown: Man thinks about a little bitty baby girl
And a baby boy
Man makes then happy
Because man makes them toys
And after man made other things he can
Man makes liras, pesos, dollars, rupees
To buy for every good woman and every man
This is a man's world,
Pavarotti: Nulla ha piú senso se
si vive solo per sé.
Brown: But it wouldn't be nothing,
Without a woman or a girl.
Pavarotti: Solo per sé.
Brown: He's lost in the wilderness,
He's lost in bitterness.
Pavarotti: Se non si accorge che poi
nulla ha piú senso se
si vive solo per sé,
solo per sé, per sé.
Brown: This is a man's world, yeah.
James sang with orchestras as well. Orchestras are for any style of music. The timing is still the way James wrote the song.
love it,love it,love it💋💋💋
BB King did another amazing collaboration with Pavarotti at the same concert, The Thrill is Gone.
two of the greats of all time
Pavarotti's verse translated:
Man runs the power but doesn't know
great limits has to be how it will be done
In his palm he holds an idea
that doesn't live
in his imagination… he wanted
If you don't notice that then
nothing makes sense
if you live only for yourself
There may a couple of errors in it!
Saludos desde Uruguay!!!
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🏵🏵🏵🌺🌺🌺🌻🌻🌻💐💐💐💐💐💐
That is so fantastic, in my opinion only equaled by stevie wonder and parotti performing together.
James Brown was the coldest.
Mitici, in cielo canteranno in eterno
❤❤❤❤
Powerful.
One of my favorites! Great reaction! But, tell me true anyone. What does a girl have to do to get The Year of the Cat on the ticket? LOL
You will love Pavarotti with Celine Dion "I Hate You Then I Love You".. In english with 22 million views.
Ooohhhh…..yeaaahh
James Brown in the Man.
epic historical.... 💎🎶👍🔥
I highly recommend Cecilia Bartoli, "Agitata da due venti." What she does with her voice here is unreal. Then try songs from her 1992 album If You Love Me.
Maestro Fresh Wes - Let Your Backbone Slide
Brad one these Days You need to Just let you're Fro down Enjoy the Music Brother !
Duran Duran and Pavarotti’s ordinary world will be another great song for you to react
Bono and Pavarotti have a great combo as well, cant remember the song name
Falling in reverse - zombified
I need Brad to hear James Brown- Funky goodtime (doing it to death)
There's an orchestra in the original. You should give it a listen.
Watch him dance!!!!!
To me it was a little odd, but I enjoyed it anyway. Pavarotti sung with a lot of pop stars later in his career.
5/11/22, 7:30 p.m.
The best performance I've seen for this song was season 6 of The Voice battle rounds Sisaundra Lewis and Biff Gore. Still gives me goose bumps.
m.ruclips.net/video/5dDhe7L9Tvk/видео.html
James has more teeth than the average man.
💪😎👍
New to me!
Lex is cute 😂
