When the King of Pop speaks, you listen.
当流行音乐之王讲话时，你要认真听。
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就已经获得了几个格莱美奖，他们是一个非常成熟和受欢迎的组合。但后来他们和迈克尔·杰克逊聊了聊，迈克尔·杰克逊想确保他们不会被人占了便宜。
“‘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》杂志独家采访时表示:“‘了解自己的价值’是我们从迈克尔·杰克逊那里得到的最好的建议。”
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.
杰克逊的歌曲HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book i收录在这首歌的背景声之后，他们与杰克逊进行了对话。坐在后面的房间里，杰克逊和Boyz乐队——当时由万亚、内森·莫里斯、肖恩·斯托克曼和迈克尔·麦卡里组成——“真的聊了好几个小时，”万亚回忆道。
“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.”
现年50岁的Boyz II Men男高音回忆说:“在我们完成我们的任务后，我们去了后面的房间，迈克在那里安装了一个板子——就像一个视觉视觉板。”“他说，‘听着，这个行业太疯狂了，他们会利用你的。他们会让你在路上跑上跑下，你甚至无法理解发生了什么，直到你坐下来，能够看到它，看到你的劳动成果的好处。这时你才会意识到你做的是对的。但要做到这一点，唯一的方法就是了解自己的价值，永远不要接受低于你认为自己价值的东西。’就是这样。”
