Here's yours truly playing a cover of the James Brown classic "It's A Man's, Man's, Man's World" on my electric guitar. The words and music were written by James Brown and Betty Jean Newsome. The song was released as a single for King Records and reached number eight on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 charts and spends two weeks at number one on the U.S. Billboard R&B Singles charts in 1966. The song has been covered by many recording artists including Lucio Dalla, Big Maybelle, Ray Charles, MC5, Tom Jones, The Fabulous Counts, Renee Geyer, Grand Funk Railroad, Brilliant, Cold Sweat, Bobby Byrd and Vicki Anderson, Concrete Blonde, Van Morrison, Patricia Kaas, Reptile Palace Theatre, Mercury Rev, Cher, Celine Dion, Sebouba Bambino, Natacha Atlas, Joss Stone, The Residents, Countdown Singers, Miss Dominique, Etta James, Seal, Gov't Mule, The Grateful Dead and Leela James and it ranked #123 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time in 2004. Christina Aguilera performed a critically acclaimed rendition of the song as a posthumous tribute to James Brown at the 2007 Grammy Awards. Her performance has been voted as the 3rd Most Memorable Grammy Performance of all time. The cast of Glee, featuring Quinn Fabray (Dianna Agron) covered the song during season one's twenty-first episode, entitled "Funk", and released it as a single. Quinn was trying to represent the suppressed feeling women feel from men.

The song was sampled for: Big Daddy Kane - "Mortal Combat" Black Moon - "Black Smif-N-Wessun" Heavy D - "You Ain't Heard Nuttin' Yet" Ice Cube - "Jackin' for Beats" Ice Cube - "This is a Man's World" Luke - "Arrest in Effect" Nature - "Man's World" Tupac ft Dramacydal, C-Bo & Storm - "Tradin War Stories"

Tell me what you think about my skills on the electric guitar or the song in general by leaving me a YouTube or Facebook comment and a rating on the video. I'm very serious about my musical talent. Peace.

IT'S A MAN'S MAN'S MAN'S WORLD (Brown/Newsome)

This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

You see, man made the cars to take us over the road
Man made the trains to carry heavy loads
Man made electric light to take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark

This is a man's, a man's, a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

Man thinks about a little baby girls and a baby boys
Man makes then happy 'cause man makes them toys
And after man has made everything, everything he can
You know that man makes money to buy from other man

This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

He's lost in the wilderness
He's lost in bitterness
