KILLER REVERB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[steinley1]

damn ! one of miracles in my life !

[steinley1]

damn ! one of miracle in my life !

[seckin12]

It seems like the guitarist (or maybe a violinist) is completely out of rhythm, is it done on purpose?

[TheBartsbart]

no you are right, you can't see them , they were behind the stage and probably didn't get enough volume of what was going on on stage back there. they had a hard time..

still sounding good..

[MrKC63]

around the mid 60s @ letmego8707..1965 or 66

[letmego8707]

does anyone know what year it was???

[letmego8707]

goooood he was so good looking !

[jamtrack1]

THIS is what music is supposed to do... actually make you feel real emotion

[calcantoo2]

Preeeeeeach 

[calcantoo2]

Preeeeeeach

[caligulaXD]

es el mundo de un hombre

[originaladream]

I sympathize with the man who don't have a woman...

[xMPCxx]

"He's Loooooooooosssssssssssst!!!!!!­!" man that shit is so soulful...gotta love that black soul.

[sydneydowful]

its sad because women would believe this song is putting men on top when really its about how its a mans world, but the women are what holds it together... Mans gotta have women.. Yet with Constant conflict. which will happen everytime..

[moelicious416]

So much soul. i feel Brown. This is real soul.

[SOWHATIMADEIT]

i used to be baby sat by mr james brown friends he was a bother man yet crime alos well they took money of him still passed mr brown an others as a child yet crime in race to woman , kill only wars at the crime have the law enforcement do it job as you tube persons might be crime as they cuss still his wife was a nice woman his aunt an by the way whom at mr brown an others of shows other crimes other places took me years to heal an years to report as juges ask what there elder then ww2 persons

[LPN19]

meu sonho é encher o cu do james brown de linguiça e gozar no tumulo dele

[drummercouk]

It's such a fantastic groovy lento tune!

The string pizzicato sections at 0:51 & 1:37 go horribly out of time to the drummer: they are playing too fast. TV session players probably - and no monitors or a deaf conductor?

[Model221]

THE HARDEST WORKING MAN IN SHOW BUISNESS.. Forever A Great

[SOWHATIMADEIT]

funny

[ursumare100]

@SOWHATIMADEIT funny?

you ar a ipocrit. a stupid. kill your brain

[babyslitzen1]

the dancers get by the minute, you can see james is trying to hurry the song because of the dancers

[unojtl]

Dancers on Q

[heykellyay]

I'm a feminist and I think this song is beautiful.

[Cignaleremix]

Background dancers have soul !

[davemcevans]

The passion displayed in this song is inspiring.

[ChiTownHeadBusa]

Classic!

[k0314681]

Epic!

[CloneShadow]

This is the most soulful live performance of this song by himself. He never did a better one than this. You can feel the tears that wanted to get out of his eyes then.

Really really great. Thank yo very much. God bless you.

James, I miss you, Rest in Peace.

[Mj4Eternity58]

It certainly is!!!!!!

[skimaskready]

background dancers?

[laswan5]

I know the date posted says 2008 bu this was made in the 60's. I remember it very well. I was about 12 or 13 at the most. What a great song and he puts his soul into it. There was still a lot of racism back then and even in Seattle the 'N' word was still used. Blacks were very fortunate to be known at all. RIP James Brown. You are wonderful.

[hmsheppard]

Love the sound on this version, almost identical to the original. Plus, JB looks very cool here in his tux and the 'do was tight! Love how it wobbles when he screeches, "He's lost!!!" from 2:17-2:26.

[DaSandMan230]

It would have been hard to keep up with this guy

[Kiteraj]

2:16 :O

[JaredMorgenstein]

Probably the Greatest song ever composed in modern day. This man is a genius.

[55557290]

cooooooool 

[XxdripperxX]

stupid dancers!

[dec93771]

black talent

[monicalups]

pure pure pure soul

[Classictechnovault]

this one of my fav versions they did of this song..

[sinanpsv]

How much do the background dancers get paid? :P

[williamg2552]

They are James' singing group. They're called The FAMOUS FLAMES. no vocals on this song, so they decided to " take a walk". LOL.

This song, IT'S A MAN'S WORLD, was just inducted into THE GRAMMY HALL OF FAME for 2010.

[TheSexybeastish]

@sinanpsv 5$ dollars and a bucket of bananas.

[sassy808]

@sinanpsv

Did you see how hard they dance during the rest of the show? This is their break!

[letmego8707]

@sinanpsv LOL :D

[shhhtiamtiam]

@sinanpsv this is funny, but i think the dancers are priceless.

[tweet106]

@sinanpsv lol



[MortenFfo]

@sinanpsv not a single dime! this is just for fame and fortune ;)

[Kharys100]

@sinanpsv LOL!!! HAHAH...That's a good one!! at least they were good looking @_@!!..and Mr.James Brown? Fabulous as always!!

[BARBAKAS]

Único

[kariebeez]

The music sounds so good. James was soul personified. "man made the traaiiinn." Brings down that hand in time to the music and with so much emotion grabs his face. " He's looosst in loneliness, he's looost in bitterness." This is my favorite by the Godfather

[ewireless1]

Classic and Brilliant!!

[wasteyelo1]

Amazing. Stunning. A Master at work. R I P

[pedacito100]

Io capisci.

[Jordan23Baller]

another way you could think of this song is that

he could be sayin it like this is THE man's world (the white man)

it could be true for this point in time

[DKMartin1]

...u r STUPID...

[Jordan23Baller]

no your jus narrow minded and ignorant

[ArdieM]

@Jordan23Baller don't you black or white me :)

[ticoinjapan]

great performance, real singer

[seedofageneration]

Thank You For Posting the original version of this song!!!!!

[rausaniedu]

grandioso

[MrAprilTv]

THE MANS WORLD

[mudbonehancock]

its a crime this song never gets played because of all the feminist political correct bullshit. This is 1966 and completely correct for the time.  Listen again man would not be anything without a woman. thats negative toward women?

[QueenClawdiaKoopa]

@mudbonehancock This song was written by a woman...irony isn't it??

[poes3000]

@QueenClawdiaKoopa . She wasn't ironic. She was a realist.

[QueenClawdiaKoopa]

@poes3000 I didn't call her irony, or at least I didn't mean to...But anyways, good song.

[unclejoeoakland]

@mudbonehancock Artistically it's infallible- Poetic, well written, a unique, soulful, and sparse arrangement, and utterly romantic. I love it, I do. However, I think that the bone that feminists of the era might have picked is that the song would supposedly place women exclusively in the light of a love interest for men. I get the argument, even as I would say that this is art and shouldn't be taken too seriously for poitical purposes one way or the other. Just sayin'.

[onelastnoob]

@mudbonehancock

How is this song against women at all. The main comment's is talking about How man did stuff just for the glorious women Its complimenting women. With out women men would do and build nothing ha. So i dont see how feminist can think this is against them.

[mryellowcrown]

@mudbonehancock LIBERAL LEFT FEMINIST GROUP . THAT JB ..

[HASSDICH62]

oh look its the cribs and the bloods in the back

oh by the way ladys n gents

THIS IS A MANS WORLD

A WHITE MANS WORLD !
