A pair of autographed loafers worn by Michael Jackson during his performance on the Sammy Davis Jr. 60th Anniversary Celebration television special. The show was taped on 13 November 1989 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles and featured several celebrity appearances. Jackson performed "You Were There", which he co-wrote with Buzz Kohan the day before the recording, as a tribute to Davis. Jackson originally donated these loafers to conductor and producer Glen Roven, to sell at a fundraising event.

Both soles of these black leather Florsheim tassel loafers are autographed in black ink by Jackson. The loafers also feature wooden and leather soles which appear to have been scored. The autograph is tricky to see in places due to wear on the underside of the shoes. The lot is accompanied by a letter of authenticity from MJJ Productions, a signed letter from Roven detailing the lot's history and how he worked on the special, Rover's all-access pass from the event, and two printed promotional images.

The autographs in this lot have been professionally authenticated by expert Garry King; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: £5,000 - 10,000 M
