What the glove lacks in artisanal quality, it makes up for in pop history.
Jackson wore it along with a fedora during his first performance of the legendary backwards dance known as the moonwalk.
The owner, Walter “Clyde” Orange, was a member of the Commodores group when Jackson gave him the glove at the Motown tribute.
The glove headlines an auction featuring other Jackson memorabilia and items once belonging to Madonna, Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and other music big names.
In news of the living, one of Asia’s top film festivals will pay tribute to veteran Hong Kong director Johnnie To (杜琪峰), known for his stylish action thrillers like Election (黑社會) and Exiled (放逐). South Korea’s Pusan International Film Festival said in a statement on Friday it will show 10 of To’s films and host a master class led by the 54-year-old Hong Kong filmmaker during the Oct. 8 to Oct. 16 event in the southern beach resort city. Hong Kong and South Korean film critics will also take part in a panel discussion about To’s works.
To is best known for his crafty action films, but his versatile 29-year career also includes romance, comedies and lighthearted crime movies.
