Luciano Pavarotti & James Brown "It's A Mans World" REACTION Video | first time listening to opera 

Pavarotti would do a charity concert every year called Pavarotti & Friends in which he sang with all the big pop stars of the day including people like Elton John, Celine Dion, Stevie Wonder, Tom Jones and many more.

You can see the tremendous respect between these two superstars. Really moving.

Wow.... I could have lived a thousand lifetimes and NEVER would have thought to put these two together on the same stage. Absolutely incredible performance by both singers and that beautiful orchestra in the background.....

What can you say about 2 legends of their field, which is so different, simply amazing. ❤️🤘🎸🇦🇺

The 2 legends absolutely have amazing vocals, but let's also give a huge "SHOUT-OUT" to the Orchestra which made this such a delicious performance too!!!

On the Pavarotti and friends concerts, Skunk Anansie duet is fabulous. Stevie Wonder's is fabulous too.

The combination of the Godfather Of Soul James Brown singing with Opera legend Luciano Pavarotti was quite interesting and it worked really well. "It's A Man's World" is a great song and considered one of James Brown's best. An excellent choice for you to react to.

(Mikhail Biryukov here) Whenever I see and hear this duet, my eye is watering - it's so perfectly made. Sadly both are gone, but at least I had once had my chance to see James Brown live in person!

King of soul James Brown

I can proudly say I was there 😍 I was a kid but I still remember it

My first time seeing these two legends together with one of my b all time favorite songs. I got chills and goose bumps like never before, my goodness.

Hello Ladies, This was one for the ages!!!

this is one of my favorite videos. love it. thanks ❤☮🙏

Thank You Beautiful ladies for reacting to this ❤

When you hear greatness you know when it’s start great live

Two great ones, they are now in heaven. Two Giants. Mayor leagues. What a pair.🙂🙂

italian part translated into english and the complete lyrics below Pavarotti: L'uomo/(il genere umano) 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. 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 if you don't notice that then nothing makes sense anymore if one lives only for oneself. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.

Genius production.

Fun show.The Godfather of Soul,James Brown.I have seen him 5 times.Once on the Friday after 911.When the show was over , Brown stepped back on the stage by himself and under a spotlight sang God Bless a America. Lot of wet eyes that night.

Wonderful reaction! James Brown has been my favorite entertainer since I was 12 years old in 1968. This is definitely one of the greatest things I’ve ever heard also. And just so you know Mr. Pavarotti was 67 years old hair and Mr. Brown was 69. So even near the end of their careers, they were amazing! This was 2002.

This was definitely amazing! I haven’t checked out much opera, but I have definitely heard of him. If you want another duet that I thought was crazy,but gives me chills every time I hear it, Ray Charles and Willie Nelson “Seven Spanish Angels “. Preferably the live version so you can see them. It’s amazing!

Oh, to the lady that said she’s never heard of IT’S A MAN’S MAN’S MAN’S WORKD before. This was one of James Brown’s massive hits. It’s from 1966. It went to number one on the soul chart and number eight on the pop chart. It’s been sung by literally hundreds of people in the last few years. I’m surprised you’ve never heard anyone sing it. Christina Aguilera sing it on the Grammys in 2007 as a tribute to Mr. Brown. when he passed away in 2006.

Thank you so much for this, Try Luciano Pavarotti, Jose Carreras and Placido Domingo, the Three Tenors from 1990 O Sole Mio.

Great reaction - you should check out Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli Time to say Goodbye live in 1996/1997; also as a Kate bush fan you should check out another great female singer Tori Amos singing 'Winter' live in 1992.

This event was put together and organized by Luciano Pavarotti. Every year, he would invite to Italy (Modena) different, very famous, non-opera singers, such as Bono and U2, and, in this case, the great James Brown, to perform with him for charity. I don't think anyone ever declined the invitation and all the profits went to charity. Luciano did it for the love of music and a desire to do good in the world (he was a great humanitarian). All the other singers did it for the same reason but also out of respect for "Il Maestro" Luciano. They (all the performances) were a fantastic example of humanity.

From Pavarotti and friends , check out Pavarotti's Caruso .

James Brown died in 2006 at the age of 73.

Pavarotti have done a duet with Queen

Magic

Outstanding performance! By the way, you should check out Renee Geyer’s version of Its a Man’s World. She’s the Aus queen of soul, and the song takes on a different meaning when sung by a powerful female voice.

Very different voices but very impressive

LUCIANO PAVAROTTI THE GOLDEN VOICES!👍🙂🙂☺️☺️😥😢

I think Luciano invited James Brown to Italy to sing with him.

The tragedy of this duet is that Pavarotti looks exhausted. And James Brown by contrast is alive. There is a very short distance between James Brown and opera.

James Brown was one of those artists that sounded better live than recorded. Pavarotti goes without saying obviously

What a production

Sensational world of music giants.

Yes; one of them was me..... 🙂

one of the best ever

hi from Amsterdam, just go to Pavarotti and friends and you wil be surprised

Have you watched Pavarotti and Celine Dion doing I love you then I hate you? It is just as marvelous. Celine is so young and she holds her own with the master. I hope you have a look. 🇨🇦🔥🔥🔥🥇🤗💖

Caruso inspired Pavarotti.....and Domingo and Carreras. The three tenors.

Another amazing collaboration is John Denver and Placido Domingo (Perhaps love). Also Dolly and Julio Iglesias singing When you tell me that you love me. ❤❤

i particularly like the duo of Botcelli/Dion - The Prayer...its beautiful

Awesome! Never heard this! How about Perfect Symphony with Andrea Bocelli and Ed Sheeran, it's beautiful!!

You should definitely check Karen Carpenter singing with Ella Fitzgerald.

LUCIANO PAVAROTTI A CÂNTAT ȘI LA OPERA DIN NEW YORK!🙂☺️

Suggestion: "Pavarotti - Tom Jones", and "Pavarotti - Eurythmics".👍

It certainly had novelty value. They were both individually great singers but that coming together didn’t really work for me.

VOI AMERICANII NU MAI CRITICAȚI UN TENOR DE CLASĂ MONDIALĂ CARE NU MAI ESTE ÎN VIAȚĂ!😒🤨😒😠
