"Hey Michael, can I get your number?"
That may well be what Sammy Davis Jr. asked Michael Jackson in the 1980s. Can you imagine what a phone book containing the King of Pop's number during the golden age of music — right as the Thriller album was taking the world by storm — would have been worth? Many would have given anything to have it.
Sammy Davis Jr.'s 1980s personal address book has been put up for auction by the Nate D. Sanders auction house. This address book is like a Hollywood time machine and a who's who of fame, containing the names and numbers of over one hundred major stars including Muhammad Ali, Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra, Barbara Streisand, Clint Eastwood, Gene Kelly, and many more.
But one name stands out among all these notables and superstars: Michael Jackson.
Michael's phone number is visible at the lower left of the image above. His number is (213) 907-5130, with 1371 as an alternate extension.
Just imagine what it would have meant to have this number back in the 1980s.
