Here is Pavarotti's translation "Man runs after power but He doesn't know The great limitations he places upon himself [?] In his fist (selfishly) he keeps an idea An idea that is alive Only in his fantasy; (still) he runs… Refrain: And he doesn't see that All this makes no sense If you live all by yourself" (or only for yourself)

[@lizmullaney305]

Thanks for that.

[@marcovignologargini6242]

It's not easy to translate because the lyrics of Pavarotti are particular, for Italians too. Anyway, I add my translation: "Man runs after the power, but he doesn't know the great limits as it will seem. In the palm to hold an idea that doesn't live, that he wanted in his imagination, if he doesn't realize that then nothing makes sense if you live only for yourself"

James was probably so proud of Luciano to take on his song. I love how they took their time and as we all know they can sing their asses off two power houses but they did this so respectfully and so tastefully. Respect to both and To the entire strings band back round singers god that must been so exciting!

[@750count]

You can really see the excitement in every performer

[@danacaro-herman3530]

I love them both!! How could you not!😊

[@julianmaldonado486]

Absolutely both stayed in their lanes and respected each other and created a performance for the lifetimes.

[@M_Barr84]

Im so glad you chose this, this has to be hands down the best version of this song. You got The Godfather of soul James brown starting it off, doing what he does best bringing the soul and the flavor. Then you have the voice of god himself Pavarotti coming in with the power, the strength. Then they both send it home sounding so beautiful together. Guarantee you’ll get goosebumps! #RIP to these two icons and legends.

I was going to make a comment but I do not think I could have said it any better than you did!

I can't even begin to imagine how that must have felt. To have Pavarotti request to sing this song..with James Brown. My brain...is on overload

[@christinerobinson548]

I love James Brown, but Pavarotti brings tears to my eyes, such beauty! You must see the video Nessun Dorma, Los Angeles. Watch his face, at the end of his song. You will see that he knows he nailed it, and he is thanking God for the gift that was given to him. Pavarotti was a lover, he loved women, wine, food, music, and his audience. Note: YOU MUST NOT INTERRUPT HIM! Just sit in comfy chair, cause you will be trying to catch your breath.

[@Psychoh90]

You should watch this version of Nessun dorma kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5DLfZtqpqikpsk especially the 2nd one!

Whew I got chills the minute Pavorotti sang and James brings the soul from the gut. This was awesome!!! Love how they hugged at the end. So much respect for each other.

[@jlmain5777]

This was an awesome performance. James looks so thrilled when Luciano was singing. I believe that this was an annual charity event. Check out the performance with Luciano and Barry White. The crowd goes absolutely nuts when they see Barry White walk on stage.

[@OperaJH]

Pavarotti did a series of concerts and recordings called Pavarotti and Friends where he teamed up with pop artists and legends. This was one of those concerts. They did raise funds for charity with each of these collaborations. RIP two great legends. Good choice for reaction!

[@TinyMaths]

It is absolutely no surprise to me that James Brown was loving Pavarotti's part of the performance; I once saw James Brown say in interview with reference to enjoying music that " God's ears don't lie..", in other words if you can hear music, and the music is good you can't help but be moved by it. Love it how the God Pavarotti is so gracious towards these collaborating artists. I saw him perform a song with Stevie Wonder (Peace Wanted Just To Be Free, you can find the live version on KZbin), and at the end of the song Pavarotti walks over to Stevie, embraces him and kisses him on the forehead. What a compassionate man; Stevie's reaction was priceless; like a little boy who has just been reassured he is absolutely loved. Despite the musical God he is, he had so much respect for Stevie.

[@incucinaconmegghy2944]

What a beautiful memory it is for me! That evening I was present at the show, called Pavarotti and friends. Luciano organized this concert every year in his small city of origin (Modena), it brought together many famous personalities of international music and did it to raise funds to be donated to charity. Thanks to remember it.

[@GeeCdiaz]

Dios Mío!!!!!! I can’t believe the voices of these two men, I envy the people who had the pleasure of witnessing this historic event. Just WOW 🤩 Incredible!!! You hear James and his voice takes you away and then hear Luciano and DAMN I just died🤩🤩

I saw James Brown at a concert when I was a teen. You couldn’t take your eyes off of him and I was at Madison Square Garden up near the top rows. I’ve NEVER seen another artist with that much stage presence. I wish I’d seen Pavarotti live as he was a favorite since the 70s . If Live At the Met showed an opera with Pavarotti, I was watching it.

OPERA!, I think its a scene from Verdi's Aida, look it up its on here, been so long ago ,. I barely caught it when she did it, I went to the bathroom or I was coming out the shower or something and I had the show on, but never , NEVER expected to Aretha doing opera, I knew how accomplished a vocalist she was but opera,..wow, Godspeed, Peace ✌
