The seller also said that the glove had been given by Michael Jackson to Dick Clark, one of America’s most famous television personalities. A note from Dick Clark about the glove is available:

"I love this Michael Jackson glove. I called him and said, ‘Michael, I have to have something from you. Give me the beaded glove. Can you?’ He said, ‘Yeah, yeah.’ Two days later a man came looking for me, ‘Is Dick Clark here? Give him this. He asked for it.’ That man was Michael Jackson himself, who brought the white glove to me."
