"It's a Man's Man's Man's World" is one of James Brown's most iconic songs, showcasing his powerful vocal delivery and social commentary. The song was released as a single in 1966 and became a major hit, reaching the top of the R&B charts and peaking at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The lyrics of the song describe a world where men hold power and dominance, where they "make the cars, take us over the road, and even the train." However, Brown also acknowledges the importance of women in men's lives, singing, "But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl."
The song's composition is characterized by a driving rhythm, horn arrangements, and Brown's impassioned vocals. It has been praised for its social commentary and exploration of gender roles, as well as its powerful musicality.
"It's a Man's Man's Man's World" has been covered by numerous artists across various genres, including Etta James, Christina Aguilera, Seal, and Joss Stone. It continues to be celebrated as a classic example of James Brown's musical legacy and his impact on soul music.

It’s a man’s world, but it wouldn’t be nuthin’ without a great backing band. James Brown - the man made the band and the band made the man.

It would be super cool if you could watch James Brown's performance on David Letterman in 1982. I mean no exaggeration when I say it might be the best live performance I've ever seen, it's a 13 minute three song set but I promise you it's worth the watch.

James Brown was never a backup singer for Little Richard they had him fill in a few shows for little Richard when he couldn’t fulfill his engagements. And back then people didn’t really know what the artists looked like.

That skit was actually happened because Eddie Murphy met James in 1980 because they were both on the same episode of SNL and James kept trying to talk to him but Eddie could not understand a single word he said the whole timr.

I am old enough to have seen several different performances by James Brown of this song and honestly I have seen maybe the original somewhere. This song was already a hit I think at this JAZZ FESTIVAL venue. Honestly I like some of the others maybe a bit better, when he has the cape on, etc. BUT no one can do this except JB.

I share a birthday with JB. This is one of my favorites of his. That's what a true Entertainer is all about. When you see the electricity coming off of him you can feel his emotion through the television. That's a visceral reaction that a visceral singer someone who understands the meaning of that song understands what it means.

Actually it was Rocky four not Rocky three and this recording that you posted was from 1981 Rocky IV was from 1985 so it was only four years later. Mr. Brown was 48 in that performance.

That was a great reaction! Please keep doing Mr. Brown’s reactions. He’s been my favorite artist since I was 12 years old in 1968. I have all of his albums in 45s I saw him about 100 times in concert and I met him a few times at all that good stuff Just a little trivia the music stopped and he showed the two women on the side not moving, the lady all the way to the right was the woman that became Mrs. Al Sharpton. And Mr. Brown was 48 years old here, and he could still out perform anybody. That was from 1981.

If this was '81 like the sign on stage says, he was 53 years old here. For some reason Brown always put his age back 5 years younger was than he actually was, saying he was born in 1933 instead of 1928 in Pulaski, Tennessee (weirdly, birthplace of the KKK). While you've got Brown on your radar, check him out live in Paris, from '67 or '68, on the Hollywood Palace TV show with Sammy Davis Jr., on the Ed Sullivan show doing Prisoner of Love, on Italian TV 1971 (with 19 year old Bootie Collins on bass, his brother Catfish Collins on guitar, Fred Wesley leading the horn section, Bobby Byrd singing with Brown).

No he was not 53 years old he was 48 years old he was born May 3, 1933. That story is a bunch of crap. The September 1928 birthdate is an erroneous date that has been proven wrong by every credible source now and now put the correct date on there. The 1928 date said he was born in Pulaski Tennessee, which was completely untrue they mixed him up with another James Brown. James Brown and Bobby Byrd were virtually the same age.

He started messing with drugs which is something that he swore earlier in his career that he would never do. Once he started messing with that mess, it changed him. True, you see his fingerprints all over the performances of such artists as Prince and Michael Jackson. The way he talked, that was later once he started taking the drugs. In those interviews where he's talking quickly, he was probably under the influence.
