Sobre James Brown

Escogió muy bien la canción esa chica del pop llamada Cristina Aguilera, para rendirle tributo al recién fallecido padrino del Soul. No soy un experto en música Soul, ni siquiera conozco de cabo a rabo todo el catálogo de Brown, pero de las canciones que reconozco, la de "its a mans mans world" es mi favorita por mucho. Originalmente grabada en 1964 es toda una filosofía y una declaración de amor en sí misma.

Aquí les dejo la letra -dedicada especialmente a mis amigas feministas-:

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 train to carry the 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
