  2007年3月18日晚，鋼琴師丹尼•米爾斯(Danny Mills)有幸見到了“流行音樂之王”Michael Jackson，並為他彈奏鋼琴。以下就是他對當晚的回憶：

2007年3月18日的那個晚上將永遠銘刻在我的記憶中……我當時正在倫敦都賈斯特飯店（The Dorchester Hotel）做周日晚上的常規演出。大約9點半的時候，保安過來請鋼琴邊的客人離開，並把這塊場地圍了起來。
我被要求繼續彈奏，讓我驚訝的是，“獨一無二”的Michael Jackson走進來，在兩個朋友的陪伴下坐到鋼琴邊。
我過了好一陣子才從震驚中恢復過來，那時，Michael已經做了自我介紹，還介紹了他的兩個朋友，分別是汶萊蘇丹的兒子和女兒。

Michael問了我的名字，說他想聽我彈幾首他要點的歌。於是，我這輩子最難忘的夜晚就開始了。

Michael和他的朋友點了大概25首歌，有愛爾頓•約翰（Elton John）、比利•喬（Billy Joel）、披頭士樂隊（The Beatles）、卡朋特兄妹（The Carpenters）和史蒂夫•旺德（Stevie Wonder）的。讓我驚豔的是，Michael全程都在唱。
他的聲音很棒，在這過程中，他讚美了我許多次，像是“你真有天賦”、“謝謝你與我分享你的音樂才華”。

Michael說話柔聲細語，非常禮貌地說他當晚多麼多麼享受，希望可以有天再見到我。對我而言，這是一段難以置信的經歷 —— 可以和全世界最著名的人共度1小時 —— 這令我永生難忘。

DANNY'S NIGHT WITH MICHAEL JACKSON

 

 

 Danny and Michael at The Dorchester Hotel“The evening of March 18th 2007 will be etched on my memory forever…. I was playing my regular Sunday evening at The Dorchester Hotel, London when, around 9.30pm security arrived and moved the guests away from the Piano and proceeded to rope off the area.

I was asked to continue playing and to my astonishment, the “one and only” Michael Jackson approached and sat next to me at the piano accompanied by two friends.

It took me quite a while to get over the shock, by which time Michael had introduced himself and his two friends as The Sultan of Brunei’s son and daughter.

Michael asked my name and said he would like me to play some songs he requested. And so began the most memorable evening of my career.

Michael and his friends made around 25 song requests from a variety of artists including Elton John, Billy Joel, The Beatles, The Carpenters and Stevie Wonder and to my amazement Michael sang throughout.

His voice was great and he complimented me many times during our jamming session saying things like ‘You have a real gift’ and ‘Thank you for sharing your musical talent with me’.

Michael was softly spoken and extremely kind saying how much he’d enjoyed his evening and hoped to see me again one day. For me it was an unbelievable experience-to spend an hour in the company of arguably the most famous person in the world - and one that I will never forget”.
