This is pretty fun.
Luciano Pavarotti & James Brown - It's a man's world
Luciano Pavarotti & James Brown - It's a man's world
This song should be erased everywhere. Clearly misogynistic and offensive to some people.
Sorry, just an anti PC joke.Huh?
Not "funny" at all, imho.......quite far from it.
"Funny DIFFERENT", maybe, but........
What it IS
is an absolutely BRILLIANT and highly-entertaining juxtaposition
of two of the world's greatest entertainers ever, and it sends chills.
Watch the orchestra and the backup singers! They are really into it, and every note is perfectly
and impeccably executed, as if with reverence for the two masters. Very well-deserved.
And watch Pavarotti and Brown give incredibly genuine tributes to each other by their gestures and expressions.
(see James at 3:37 & 3:45 marks, and Luciano at 4:10)
That speaks volumes (absolutely the highlights of the evening to me), as does the spontaneous
and heartfelt applause erupting from the audience at several points. Wow.
The promoters knew it would be like this, hence the idea for the performance.....
I certainly didn't hear or see anyone in the audience laughing----but they did seem spellbound and highly moved.
You could at times almost hear a pin drop.
My only regret is not having been there. So sorry they are both gone now.
James was from my home town, and there are many tributes to him around the area.
No one like him, that's for sure.
One of his lasting legacies is his Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway,
which he paid for 100% and supervised every year, personally handing out thousands of turkeys
to those who needed or wanted them.
It goes on still to this day, and is a sight to behold.
Thanks for sharing the video......loved it.
