James Brown and Betty Jean Newsome wrote the famous soul and R&B song “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World,” which saw its first recording in 1966. The song was a major success, peaking at number one on the R&B charts and eighth on the Billboard Hot 100. Brown’s impassioned delivery, along with the song’s poignant lyrics, helped it become a timeless success.

Throughout the program, Jimi stunned the judges with his creative takes on famous tunes.
