Rapper FIRST time REACTION to It's A Man's World W/ Luciano Pavarotti & James Brown! OMG,, WHAT!?

[@michaelavery6390]

Between 1992 and 2003 Pavarotti held benefit concerts for charity called Pavarotti and friends in his home town of Modena in Italy. This particular concert was for Angolan refugees and it was held on the 28th May 2002.

[@robertotrabalzi7346]

Yes but, don't forget that James "fucking" Brown" was singing for free

[@GrannyMetalheadTV]

HOW in the ACTUAL F did I miss this??? I mean, really?? I'm so ashamed to say that I'm today years old, I love James and ADORE Luciano, but I hadn't seen this. 🤯🤯🤯🤯 What a crazy collab that works Magnifico!!! You can clearly see how ill LP is, and yet, he soldiers on. Not to mention, James is no spring chicken himself and just knocks it out of the park! What an amazing performance by two legends.

(Verse 1)Translated From Italian, Luciano sings: Man chases power but he doesn't know it May the Great One limit himself to being as he will appear. He holds an idea in his palm Who doesn't live, That in his imagination ... he wanted If you don't notice that then Nothing makes sense anymore if You live only for yourself.

You have to watch "Barcellona" sung by Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe!

[@jackwhitbread4583]

Which would never have happened without Pavarotti, the only reason Freddie ever became aware of Caballe was because he was friends with Luciano and went to an opera he was in one night. Pavarottis leading lady that night was Montserrat Caballe and he became infatuated by her voice. You have Pavarotti to thank for that particular duet.

Pavarotti also did a song with Celine Dion called, “I hate you, then I love you”. It’s about a couple that argue, but can’t ever think about being with someone else.

[@matthewrandom4523]

Be honest: The moment Pavarotti starts singing, you were thinking: These two completely different legends together - it won't work! But it works. And hell yah, how perfect it works! Music is the universal language that makes it working. I'm fascinated by this masterpiece of collaboration every time I'm listening to it.

[@susanworkman529]

So glad you got to this one. Two fabulous singers from two completely different genres and it works so well. And who cares what the words mean that Luciano is singing. I'm not an opera fan but I could listen to him all day; his voice is just that exquisite. I especially like this version of the song with James Brown just singing from the heart without any stage distractions.

[@MsM-jr2jp]

[@jackwhitbread4583]

She should have had enough respect to write a verse in Italian for him, Luciano was very deeply uncomfortable singing in any language except Italian. He was mocked heavily for singing in other languages and it made him very self conscious and anxious

[@carolynbertram5598]

This was in Pavarotti's home town of Milan in Italy. There was a series called "Pavarotti and friends", and this was part of that. One of the greatest performances ever. I mean, when have we heard James Brown backed by a full orchestra? Awesome.

Wrong, Pavarottis hometown was Modena. These concerts were held in his home town but they took place in Modena not Milan. Change your comment instead if spouting misinformation.

While I listen to every genre, I grew up in a household, where we listened to primarily classical music and opera. My mother loved classical music and my father loved opera. I have always loved classical music (I play violin) and acquired the taste for some opera as I grew up. Pavarotti was/is one of my favorites… if you want to be blown away by his singing… with a song that you might recognize because I’ve seen it in commercials and in mob movies, check out Vesti La Giubba from the opera Pagliacci.

[@jackwhitbread4583]

This was a few years before Pavarottis cancer, the reason hes sitting is for a severe back injury. Also his father and mentor Fernando Pavarotti died 2 days prior and Luciano was deep in grief. He did not cancel this show because this was a part of an annual benefit concert that Luciano held in his efforts to raise money for refugees of war torn countries. The audience is there for Luciano primarily as these were his concerts, these concerts were entitled Pavarotti and friends and he duetted with dozens and dozens of the worlds biggest pop stars. To this day no other entertainer has raised more money for charity through benefit concerts and volunteer work, Pavarotti used his platform to make the world a better place and he deserves every bit of credit for doing so.

[@starburstppl]

OMG!! How on earth did I miss this one? I love this song and the way James Brown sang it I almost melted. Then when Luciano Pavarotti came in I was like WT* Those two singing that was one of the best things I've ever seen.

One I would highly recommend is Pavarotti singing "Too Much Love Will Kill You" with Queen.

[@vanessa4u4evr]

I never get tired of this one. And yes, Pavarotti's health was in decline at this time. This gem should be heralded and stored in this world's most esteemed historical collector institutions so that it is forever preserved and available for viewing for generations to come.

[@jackwhitbread4583]

No his health was not in decline, this was 5 full years before Pavarottis cancer. He's sitting because he is deep in grief for the loss of his father and mentor Fernando 2 days previously.

Division of people into one group (based on whatever criteria of exclusivity) vs another is something people choose. Doesn't have to be that way, yet people do keep choosing to do it. There are tons of examples of people coming together, particularly in times of crisis, which is such an amazingly beautiful thing to witness and/or experience. Maybe it's all just nature's way of keeping the balance. Nice find!

One of the lines in what Luciano is singing, translates as I live only for you what Luciano is singing, is also a love song about how a Man loves a woman. What James Brown said, as he was leaving, backstage to the crowd translates from Italian to English as the word thank you I think the performance was in the Square at Vatican City in Rome, but I could be wrong on that.
