Original Jackson glove to be sold for charity

The original glove worn by Michael Jackson when he unveiled his famed moonwalk and performed Billie Jean at the Motown 25th anniversary TV special is set to be sold at a November auction benefiting a music charity.
"The world should see this. This is the first," said Walter Clyde Orange, a founding member of singing group the Commodores, to whom Jackson gave the glove after the legendary performance.

"Just for the world to see it, that means the world to me," he said, adding that he hoped the iconic glove would end up at an institution like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The two singers became acquainted when the Commodores toured with the Jackson 5 in the 1970s. Orange said he shared a longtime joke with Jackson in which he often requested the youngster's autograph.

When he saw Jackson backstage after the Motown anniversary concert in 1983, he asked for an autograph again. Instead, Jackson gave him the glove, which Orange kept until now.

Since Michael Jackson's death on June 25, demand has been high for his music, as well as books and other material related to the King of Pop.

Accompanying the recent biographical book Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson and the October rerelease of Jackson's 1988 memoir Moonwalk, a publisher is set to debut The Official Michael Jackson Opus, a photo book the singer had wanted to release.

A tribute concert planned by Jackson's family will also take place outside Vienna's Schoenbrunn Palace on Sept. 26
