Rare Performance: "It's A Man's, Man's, Man's World" (James Brown & Luciano Pavarotti)

Sometimes two artists from two distinct genres come together and perform a mind-blowing fusion of their distinct musical traditions. With that said, several years ago when both men were still alive, James Brown and Luciano Pavarotti performed a stirring duet on Brown's classic "It's A Man's, Man's, Man's World" and shocked the world in my opinion.

Therefore as we celebrate the Godfather of Soul's birthday today, I thought it would be appropriate to revisit this rare performance from James below!
