Michael Jackson's Moonwalk Glove for Auction

(All my websites built by http://www.normanasher.com/webdesign.html )

The first time Michael Jackson did the "Moonwalk" across the screen in 1983 it was magical. He floated across the floor effortlessly wearing a left handed glove enmeshed in sparkling rhinestones. This particular glove has been labeled the "Holy Grail" for collectors of Michael Jackson memorabilia.

Since Michael Jackson's untimely death at only age 50, the famous glove will be put on the auction block in New York City's Time Square at the world famous Hard Rock Cafe. The Rhinestone Glove has been in the hands Walter Orange, leader of the group The Commodores since Michael Jackson's original release of the "Moonwalk" was aired on television for the 25th Motown Anniversary Special. Michael Jackson, who was still a member of the famous Jackson 5 took his first major solo moment when he "Moonwalked" across the stage alone and performed his legendary Billy Jean. After that moment, Michael Jackson was a true star and his career exploded.

I wonder who ends up with the famous glove of Michael Jackson? Walter Orange say's, "There's a hundred other gloves out there, but this is the one you want. He blew up after that (performance) with 'Billie Jean. The world should see this. This is the first. That's the song that made him shoot through the roof as a superstar."
