The glove.
No, not one of the estimated 100 that existed over the years for different events and tours…
…the ORIGINAL one Michael Jackson wore on the night of the "Motown 25" special in 1983 where he performed his soon-to-be-famous Moonwalk for the very first time.
THIS glove is white leather with rhinestones; vastly different from the ones he characteristically wore during the period which were right-handed and featured hand sewn crystals. It’s been reported that the glove was put together quite quickly as Jackson had only decided to use one for the show at the last minute.
It’s going to go under the hammer in a Music Icons auction event at the Hard Rock Café in New York's Times Square, on November 21.
The glove was given to The Commodores member Walter "Clyde" Orange by Michael himself back on the night of "Motown 25". Orange felt that it was too valuable to be kept in hiding and should be shared with the world.
The glove which may be considered the 'Holy Grail' of Michael Jackson memorabilia, is expected to fetch around $60,000.
Proceeds from the sale will go towards MusiCares, an organization that helps musicians struggling with substance abuse.
