I’ve watched many performances of not only him but this song specifically and this is by far the best arrangement he does solo, second is the duet with Pavarotti! And Beyonce used to leave the stage sweating before she started rapping😆

I also enjoy Seal's version done live. James Brown died on Christmas Eve by the way. I'll never forget that day

Your enthusiasm for Mr. Brown is great. He has been my favorite artist since 1968 when I was 12 years old. I saw him over 100 times in concert. I met him for five ties. I have all of his albums and 45s and other things like that. One thing you said Nolan that Michael Jackson is the king of Adlibs. If you saw James Brown, it is prime, he would know James Brown is really the king of Adlibs. Michael has said numerous times that James Brown has influenced him more than any other artist. He said that on TV on the BET awards in 2003 when they gave Mr. Brown a lifetime achievement award, and Michael gave the speech, and he also said that at Mr. Brown’s funeral in 2006 in Augusta, Georgia. I was there with my wife.

James Brown was considers a better vocalist than people gave him credit for, good vocalist of that generation acknowledged the fact the James was a good vocalist.

James Brown, known for his ability to “scream” on key and to blend multiple vocal styles together, was one of the most influential vocalists of the 20th century. Brown also broke new ground with his landmark “live and in concert” album Live at the Apollo (1963), which stayed on the charts for 66 weeks

Louis Jordan was a big influence on James Brown. He always gave him credit.

Louisa Johnson (in the white pant suit) and Christina Aguilera both did awesome jobs covering this song

3:13 that’s your FIRST problem my brotha! You gota see these passing legends on their way out! I seen Eddie Levert, Walter Williams, and Eric Nolan Grant on their farewell tour 2 months ago- the Legendary O’Jays. No amount of money can bypass that 60 year old refinement and stage presence. Patti LaBelle was my first concert ever and that was January 2, 2009. Not 6 months later I saw Aretha Franklin one and only time ever. Catch these stars before they fade away! 🙏🏽

It's Man's Man's World-James Brown and Pavoratti.....also Jhud and Tom Jones!

Check out mr James Brown and Luciano Pavarotti singing this live

Somebody please help him.

Jackie Wilson was a great influence on MJ.
