James Brown / Luciano Pavarotti – “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World”
“It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World” (2002, 1966)
In this somewhat “biblically chauvinistic” song (as per “Rolling Stone” magazine), James Brown stated a simple truth; Even though many of the great works of our world are built by men, it is the women who make this a world worth living in.
In Brown’s view, men are simply the worker bees. Women, on the other hand, are the queens, the praiseworthy ones who transform the world into something better than a busy beehive or a freakin' factory.
Mad Men
In this rousing rendition, Brown is joined by the great opera singer Luciano Pavarotti and a full orchestra, making it a grander version of an already grand song.
The title is a take-off on the title of a comedy movie from 1963 – “It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.” Clearly, Brown wanted to remind us that this is art and entertainment, not philosophy.

This is a man's world
But it would be nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl You see, man made the cars
To take us over the road
Man made the train
To carry the heavy load
To take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water
Like Noah made The Ark This is a man's, man's, man's world
But it would be nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl Man thinks about a little bit of baby girls and of baby boys
Man make them happy
'Cause man make them toys
And after man make everything
Everything he can
You know that man makes money
To buy from other man This is a man's world
But it would be nothing, nothing
Not one little thing
Without a woman or a girl He's lost in the wilderness
He's lost in bitterness (Image source)

Hi @majes.tytyty
Wow I could only imagine being able to enjoy a great concert live with them both. sure that must have been great ..
Thanks friend. I send you a big fraternal hug
Really. These 2 great musicians show that any supposed "boundaries" between different musical genres are largely illusory. Great music does not pay attention to those boundaries, and hardly acknowledges any such boundaries.
Glad you enjoyed it.
why you sending huge bid end ? you want to loss your steem if yes then give me those steem coins. Stop lossing your stem in bid bots. bid carefully so everyone can save them for unwanted losses.
I assure you, I DO bid carefully. I always bid within the "Suggested Bid" range. However, sometimes the bids of 2 different bidders overlap, causing the percentage profits to decrease a bit. That is out of my control.
Rest assured that I never intend to cut into anyone else's profits. But when anyone makes a bid – on SteemBot Tracker or in any sale / auction – they are taking a risk. When I bid on SteemBot and when you bid, we are both taking risks.
Everyone must realize the risk, and should be prepared to accept the risk.
Best of luck in all your bids.
yes it is risk but we need to taking care of some things which are very easy steps. If we follow it, can save ourselves from the unwanted losses.
Interesting combo

Hey awesome article, I’m super new to steemit, do you have any tips on how to get traffic on posts?
Well, all I can say is that it takes time, effort, and patience.
Of course, the most important thing is to make quality posts. That's the only way you will attract traffic to your posts. Pick a topic or 2 that you know about and that you want to specialize in, and make a few high-quality posts per week. That's a start ...
