Boyz?Ⅱ Men的Wanya Morris回憶了他們得到的“最好的建議”——而這建議來自邁克爾·杰克遜

When the King of Pop speaks, you listen. 
當流行音樂之王講話時，你要認真聽。

Back in 1995, Boyz II Men already had a couple of Grammys under their belt, and they were a very established and popular group. But they then chatted with Michael Jackson, who wanted to make sure the quartet never got taken advantage of. 
早在1995年，Boyz II Men就已經(jīng)獲得了幾個格萊美獎，他們是一個非常成熟和受歡迎的組合。但后來他們和邁克爾·杰克遜聊了聊，邁克爾·杰克遜想確保他們不會被人占了便宜。

“‘Know your worth’ was the best advice that we've ever gotten, and it was from Michael Jackson,” Wanya Morris told PEOPLE exclusively. 
Wanya Morris在接受《人物》雜志獨家采訪時表示:“‘了解自己的價值’是我們從邁克爾·杰克遜那里得到的最好的建議。”

The conversation with Jackson came after the group sang background vocals on his song "HIStory," which appears on HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I. Sitting in a back room, Jackson and Boyz — consisting at the time of Wanya, Nathan Morris, Shawn Stockman and Michael McCary — “literally talked for hours,” Wanya recalled. 
杰克遜的歌曲HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book i收錄在這首歌的背景聲之后，他們與杰克遜進行了對話。坐在后面的房間里，杰克遜和Boyz樂隊——當時由萬亞、內(nèi)森·莫里斯、肖恩·斯托克曼和邁克爾·麥卡里組成——“真的聊了好幾個小時，”萬亞回憶道。

“After we did our part, we went to this back room where Mike was set up and he had a board — like a visual vision board,” the Boyz II Men tenor, now 50, recalled. “He was like, ‘Listen, this industry is crazy and they'll use you. They'll run you up and down, up and down the road and you won't even be able to understand what's happening until you sit back later and are able to look at it and see the benefits of the fruits of your labor. And that's when you want to realize that you've done the right thing. But the only way to do that is to know your worth and to never take less than what you feel your worth is.’ And that was it.”
現(xiàn)年50歲的Boyz II Men男高音回憶說:“在我們完成我們的任務(wù)后，我們?nèi)チ撕竺娴姆块g，邁克在那里安裝了一個板子——就像一個視覺視覺板。”“他說，‘聽著，這個行業(yè)太瘋狂了，他們會利用你的。他們會讓你在路上跑上跑下，你甚至無法理解發(fā)生了什么，直到你坐下來，能夠看到它，看到你的勞動成果的好處。這時你才會意識到你做的是對的。但要做到這一點，唯一的方法就是了解自己的價值，永遠不要接受低于你認為自己價值的東西。’就是這樣。”
