How does this exist Luciano Pavarotti, James Brown - It's A Man's Man's Man's World

[@diegomantese]

Pavarotti used to do these benefit concerts in his city of Modena, Italy, and they'd featured renowned names in music from all over. All artists were personally invited by Pavarotti and did it for free because singing with him was enough payment, recognition and exposure. He did it from 1992 to 2003 and helped a lot of humanitarian causes all over the world with millions of dollars.

[@Dej24601]

And, the concept of the “Pavarotti and Friends” concerts for charity was suggested to Pavarotti by Princess Di.💔

[@MC-fv4vv]

@@Dej24601 Wow! That makes it even more special!

[@TimpossibleOne]

To sing with Pavarotti was one of James Brown's greatest wishes. They asked James woo would he love to sing with, he said Pavarotti. And Pavarotti, being a fan of James Brown, was more than happy to oblige.

[@amandaelizondo3124]

Pavarotti has several duets I saw him in San Antonio Texas in the 90s Best Birthday Present from my son ever.

This is what happens when two vocal legends come together. Standing ovation for Luciano Pavarotti and James Brown. The blend of opera and soul touched my heart. ❤

I love James brown but he isn’t as good as Freddy Mercury or frank sinatra. Luciano, Freddy and frank are the three most known and best vocalists in the music industry

[@TheDivayenta]

These two kings have so much admiration for each other! Check out the translation of what Luciano is singing- it goes beautifully with IAMMMW! It’s from an entire concert- Luciano and Friends- with many more pop stars.

[@Kullioking]

You mean Pavarotti and Friends. Also there where 10 concerts with this name from 1992 to 2003.

[@jurgenolivieira1878]

It's a show called "Pavarotti and Friends" where Pavarotti invited all kinds of great singers for duets. Many famous / less known artists from all over the world have joined him. These shows are amazing one of my favorites is him and Skin (from British punk rock band Skunk Anansie) singing You'll follow me down.

I've never heard Brown sing so purely. Mind, I haven't hunted it up, so my bad. But damn if he didn't bring out his roots to meet Pavarotti's eternal richness and beauty. This is a live mashup for the bleeding ages.

I have never seen this thanks! 🤯😍This must have been epic live wow! Killin it! I will always remember the time I shook James Browns hand

[@dezmodium]

When you watch Brown perform especially when he was in his youth he hits the stage like a whirling dervish. Just a tornado of charisma and stage presence. It's hard to look away. Absolute legend. I've also heard Pavarotti was a whole other level when you heard him live. Like, something about how a room resonates in a opera hall where the sound moves through you that speakers just don't capture. Sad I never got to experience it. I've seen live orchestras and the phenomena is definitely real. Headphones allow you to hear the sound but the sound doesn't really move through you like in real life.

[@Aminuts2009]

Some things are so beautiful they bring tears to my eyes.. this has been one.

Who would have thought that these two great talents would have shared a stage together? They are so different in genres of music that made them both world famous. You can see the admiration and respect they have for each other. And, we, the audience have been fortunate to have been graced with their talents. Brilliant idea.

BRAZIL - Yes, absolutely WOW WOW! This is a pearl, legend. Two legends in their musical genre, but who said that different musical genres cannot merge, or form this magnificent duet ??? I'm a layman, I didn't study music, I sing, I'm just a fan and I like to enjoy what is quality and Pavarotti and James Brown are 2 legends of music. Man, wonderful, beautiful.

[@bikbok1019]

Luciano Pavarotti was an extraordinary artist. His voice was out of this world, and his persona iconic. He became a household name in 1990 after the Soccer World Cup concert with The Thee Tenors. He also had several colabs with popular rock and pop artist at that time. My favourite is his performance together with Italian rock star Zucchero in the masterpiece ”Miserere”! His powerful voice! Contrasting Zucchero’s rock voice. So much emotion! The crack in the end! OMG! Perfection!

[@bikbok1019]

There are several recordings. I checked again and found the concert in Royal Albert Hall 2004. Pavarotti was old here (he died in 2007) and his illness was taking its toll on him. But the performance is amazing (I even cried a little again)

[@soniapinkney1342]

Mary here, not Moe, and that was absolutely incredible - musically AND vocally!!! I took voice 101 & 102 in college with a classically-oriented professor & it was NOT EASY! Even singing soul music well isn't easy because it takes focus, improvisational flexibility & plenty of talent. So I give major props to both of these timeless artists who blessed us with their gifts! I hope they're up in heaven with all of the other timeless, amazing artists, singing for each other & having group sing-alongs, as corny as that may sound! And what a great video!
