This is a man's world
ย
This is a man's world
This is a man's world, uh huh
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl
Don't cry for me, go to Georgia
ย
This is a man's world
This is a man's world, uh huh
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing, nothing
ย
Without a woman or a girl
Man made the electric light
To take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water
Like the serpent, Noah made the ark
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing, nothing
ย
Without a woman or a girl
Man thinks about a little bit of baby girl
And a baby boy
Man makes them happy
'Cause man make them toys
But after man make everything
Everything he can
Do you know that man makes money
The root of all evil
The fire of every woman and every man
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl
The wilderness
Do you understand what I'm talking about?
With AIDS and Nicaragua
All the things going wrong
Not loving your fellow man
I want to say
You know
ย
And bitterness
You understand what I'm talking about?
You know
ย
You know it make me feel so good I wanna scream
It make me feel so good I wanna scream
ย
I wanna scream for the people in Ethiopia
I wanna scream for the hungry people around the world
Is it alright, is it alright, is it alright if I scream?
Yeah!
ย
Yeah!
ย
I don't think y'all know what I'm talking about
ย
Right here, I wanna thank God, I wanna thank you
I'd like to say, all the beautiful people
So many people gave the life to the world of
Love, which is called music, the universal language
And right now, we wanna say
Special tribute
The undisputed king of rock 'n' roll, brother, mister Elvis Presley!
Otis Redding!
Sam Cooke!
Janis Joplin!
ย
Thank you, Tony
I wanna say something for Jim Reeves, Buddy Holly
Jackie Wilson, Joe Tex, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole
Many representin'
So many beautiful people, if you will, ladies and gentlemen
Right here
A few more things I wanna say right here
I wanna get a thirty-second round of silence
For not one, not two, but three Princes of Peace, if you will
Not one, not two, but three Princes of Peace
John Lennon, Bob Marley and Marvin Gaye
ย
Not one, not two, but three Princes of Peace
John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King
And one more time, look over your right shoulder
And tell the person next to you "I love you"
ย
Heh
Feel alright?
We got a long ways to go here
Everybody feel good?
Say "yeah"!
Are you ready?
ย
I wish I was singing "Love Machine"
Hahahaha
Give so much respect to God tonight, I can't sing "The Sex
Machine," but I'm gonna sing "The Love Machine," how's that?
Alright, lookie here!
We'd like to say
Another young man, "Super One," we call him
Brother, mister Jimi Hendrix!
If brother Jimi was here tonight
We wanna call Jimmy Lee Moore from Miami, Florida to commemorate
The beautiful sounds of one brother, mister Jimi Hendrix
If Jimi Hendrix was here tonight, he would sound like this
ย
Jimmy Lee Moore
Young Jimmy Lee Moore from Miami, Florida
Right here
