Michael Jackson memorabilia exhibited in New York
Updated on 03 July 2009
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Annex is inviting fans to leave their thoughts on a Michael Jackson memorial page after adding rare memorabilia of the King of Pop to its collection.
The added material includes handwritten lyrics to some of Jackson's biggest hits like "Billie Jean", "Beat It", and "Bad".
The collection also features a black military-style jacket with gold beading that Jackson wore in the 1985 video "We are the World".
There are also black leather gloves that reach far up the arm that the pop star wore in the 1987 "Bad" video.
A Motown identification card that dates from Jackson's earlier days, when he performed as part of the Jackson 5 with his brothers, can also be viewed.
According to Jenny Davis, the manager at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Annex, fans have been stopping by the Jackson memorabilia to pay their respects.
She said: "When people are showing up, they do take an extra pause, an extra moment in front of the exhibit.
"And we do have a little memorial set out in the lobby where they're signing - just expressing their thoughts and showing some love and support."
