Michael Jackson has handwritten and signed the lyrics to his hit signature song "Bad" in black sharpie pen. Written on three pages of 9" x 11" white stationery, Jackson has signed the first page at the top, next to the "BAD" title. This song, from the 1987 album of the same name, was one of the five singles off the album to reach number one. Originally intended as a duet with Prince, Prince declined saying it would be a hit anyway. The song was written at a time in Jackson's career when the tabloids started to print stories of his bizarre behavior such as sleeping in a hyperbaric oxygen tank and his attempt to purchase the bones of the Elephant man. Even though such stories were starting to be published, Jackson was at the height of his career, being dubbed the "King of Pop" by Elizabeth Taylor when she presented him with the "Artist of the Decade" award at the White House. In excellent condition. Estimate $6,000-$8,000.
