MJ and Lenny Kravitz at Michael Jackson's 30th Anniversary
2011年12月22日 — 近日，搖滾樂手藍尼•克羅維茲（Lenny Kravitz）做客皮爾斯•摩根深夜秀（Piers Morgan Tonight）節目，他對邁克爾•傑克遜（Michael Jackson）做出了高度評價。
摩根：在你非凡的職業生涯和生活中，你所經歷的所有事件中，如果給你五分鐘重新體驗其中一件，會是什麼？什麼事最有魔力？如果有機會，你想在重新體驗職業生涯中得哪個時刻？
克羅維茲：職業生涯，你知道，有很多值得回味的事情。
摩根：最值得回味的呢？
克羅維茲：與邁克爾•傑克遜一起工作。這是特別的經歷。
摩根：是什麼使它特別？
摩根：最值得回味的呢？
克羅維茲：與邁克爾•傑克遜一起工作。這是特別的經歷。
摩根：是什麼使它特別？
克羅維茲：如果我六歲那年沒有看到傑克遜5兄弟（Jackson Five）的演出，我今天就不會在這裏。那是我所看的第一場演唱會。父親帶我去麥迪森廣場看的。而這改變了一切。
第二天，宇宙都不同了。我徹底被那音樂、才華、整個體驗所折服。現在我在錄音室。我給邁克爾寫過一首歌，就站在那裏，告訴我讓我對他狠一點，我想精確的按照你們看到的方式來做，所以不是你所要的方式就阻止我。

我們一起合作了，我們在錄音室一起工作了一星期。讓人難以置信。
摩根：他到底是怎麼樣的一個人？
克羅維茲：首先，他是一個美好的人。非常的專業，一個完美主義者。多年後，仍然熱情飽滿。他會夜以繼日的工作，第二天再來，仍然夜以繼日。他沒有失去熱情。
一個偉大的父親，他對孩子們非常好。我見過孩子們，我們都在錄音室。我們會一起玩耍，他是一位非常好的父親，而且幽默，非常幽默。

摩根：幽默感十足。
克羅維茲：我們總是大笑，你吃的比你認為的多。
摩根：是嗎？他有那麼多能量來消耗，那麼能跳舞。
克羅維茲：是的。
摩根：難以置信的天賦，我所見過的最偉大的藝人。
克羅維茲：有史以來最偉大的藝人，我同意這點。
摩根：他聽到關於他的消息有什麼感受？熟知他的人有些形形色色的看法，他生活的道路有些必然性，這是像邁克爾•傑克遜這樣的人的既定道路。但事實上，不能生老病死也許不是他最糟糕的夢魘。

克羅維茲：這很有趣，我聽說你和簡•方達（Jane Fonda ）探討過這個。她說過一些。我的意思是，我完全崩潰了。我完全懵了。我那時在蘇格蘭的舞臺上，正當我走下來並準備返場，他們告訴我必須要回到舞臺上。
非常的悲痛，我真切的盼望看他回歸演出，即使我知道50唱演出的分量。
摩根：他的遺產將在我們的生命中繼續傳承，你認為在我們有生之年，邁克爾•傑克遜是最棒的嗎？

摩根：他的遺產將在我們的生命中繼續傳承，你認為在我們有生之年，邁克爾•傑克遜是最棒的嗎？
克羅維茲：當然，你無法觸及到。
摩根：就像你之前說的，最偉大的自然天賦？
克羅維茲：是的。
摩根：所有人之上？
克羅維茲：是的，我認為人們認為邁克爾•傑克遜和他的單飛事業是驚人的。但我看到他最深層次的天賦是在他小時候。他還是個孩子就能唱出 艾瑞莎·弗蘭克林(Aretha Franklin)或者詹姆斯布朗（James Brown）或者任何偉大的歌唱家一樣的天賦、靈魂和強度。

MORGAN: Of all of the things that you've experienced in your extraordinary career and life, if I could give you five minutes to replay one of them again, what would it be? What's been the most magical? Forget women or children or births of a child. Obviously, that's different. But what's the career moment where if you had the chance, you'd relive it?
KRAVITZ: The career moment. Wow. You know, I -- I've had so many where I had to pinch myself.
MORGAN: What was the biggest pinch?
KRAVITZ: Being -- probably producing Michael Jackson. And there's been a lot of great ones, but that was something extraordinary.
MORGAN: What made it so extraordinary?
KRAVITZ: Well, the fact that, you know, I wouldn't be here today if I hadn't seen the Jackson Five when I was six years old. That was the first concert that I had ever been to. My father took me to Madison Square Garden to see them. And it changed everything.
The universe was a different place the next day. I was completely blown away by the music, the talent, the whole experience. And here I am in the studio. I had written a song for Michael. And he's standing there, telling me to be very hard on him, I want to do this exactly the way you see it, so stop me every time it's not the way you want it and so forth.
And we're just getting into it. We're working together. And we ended up spending, you know, a week together in the studio. It was just unbelievable.
MORGAN: What kind after man was he? For real.
KRAVITZ: I thought that he, first of all, was just a beautiful being. Extremely professional, a perfectionist. Still having the passion all those years later, you know? He would stay, work all day and night, come back the next day, all day and night. He hadn't lost that.
A great father. He was amazing with his children. I spent time with the kids. We were all in the studio. Zoe would come and we would all hang out together. He was a very good father. And he was funny. Very funny.
MORGAN: Great sense of humor.
KRAVITZ: We laughed all the time. And he could eat more than you think.
MORGAN: Really? He had all of the energy to burn off, all of the dancing.
KRAVITZ: Yeah.
MORGAN: Incredible talent. The greatest I've ever seen.
KRAVITZ: The greatest ever. I would agree with that.
MORGAN: How did you feel when you heard what happened to him? And there's sort of mixed thoughts from people that knew him well, that there was a kind of inevitability in the way his life was going, and that actually for somebody like Michael Jackson -- I don't want this to sound callus -- but actually not getting old may have been something that wouldn't have been his worst nightmare.
KRAVITZ: It was interesting. I heard you speaking to Jane Fonda about that. She had spoken about that. I mean, I was obviously devastated. I was blown away. I found out on stage in Scotland , as I was coming off and getting ready to go back on for an encore. And they told me and I had to go back out.
I mean, I -- it's -- it's extremely sad. I mean, I -- I was really looking forward to seeing him come back and do those shows, even though I knew, like, wow, 50 shows, that's -- that's really serious.
MORGAN: I mean, is his legacy going to be that, of our lifetime -- because you get the older generation saying Sammy Davis pretty well the greatest entertainer of that era, whatever. Do you think of our lifetime, Michael Jackson was the best?
KRAVITZ: Of course. You can't touch it.
MORGAN: The greatest naturally gifted, as you said earlier?
KRAVITZ: Yes.
MORGAN: Entertainer of them all?
KRAVITZ: Yes, completely. I think people -- people think about Michael Jackson and his solo career, which was obviously phenomenal. But the deepest genius I saw him in was when he was a child. I think that he was -- he was a child and he sang with the same talent and soul and intensity of an Aretha Franklin or a James Brown or any great vocalist.
KRAVITZ: The career moment. Wow. You know, I -- I've had so many where I had to pinch myself.

2010年6 月25 日Lenny Kravitz在 twitter上懷念 Michael
"It's a year later and THE MAN, Michael Jackson, is sorely missed. But his music is more alive than ever.
There is no corner in the world that is not celebrating to Michael's grooves.
Knowing Michael and working with him will forever remain a highlight in my life.
I am honored to be part of Michael's incredible legacy with our collaboration "Another Day."
Michael, thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be doing what I do.
Peace and love,
Lenny Kravitz
