<p>Memorabilia from stars like Madonna, Whitney Houston, Elvis Presley, and Michael Jackson recently hit the block at the Music Icons and Sports Legends auction by Julien&#8217;s Auctions. A lock of Elvis&#8217; hair, the King of Pop&#8217;s handwritten lyrics,  and Madonna&#8217;s lingerie were among the big ticket items.</p>
<p>Michael Jackson - The auction occurred on the third anniversary of Michael Jackson&#8217;s death which may have helped with some of the sales. Jackson&#8217;s handwritten lyrics to the song &#8220;Billy Jean sold for $40,625 (had an estimated price of $2500). Jackson&#8217;s 1984 Video Music Award brought in $50,000 (estimated price $10,000) and a pair of signed black loafers sold for $18,750.</p>

<p>Elvis Presley memorabilia also saw some big bids. A motorcycle jacket worn by the King of Rock and Roll soled for $41,600 and an “E.P.” necklace sold for $31,250. The most talked about Elvis item, a lock of Elvis hair, brought in $4000.</p>
<p>Julien&#8217;s describes the lock of Elvis&#8217; hair, saying:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;A plastic vial containing Elvis Presley&#8217;s hair clippings as collected by Homer &#8220;Gil&#8221; Gilleland, Presley&#8217;s personal barber. Gilleland began his relationship with the Presleys as Gladys Presley&#8217;s hairdresser in the 1950s at Goldsmith&#8217;s Department Store. He was introduced to Elvis and became his hairdresser. As he worked with Elvis off and on up through the 1970s, Gilleland kept locks of Presley&#8217;s hair, attaching them to business cards and ultimately giving large collections to friends.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><a title="Elvis Presley’s Crypt Goes Up For Sale" href="http://www.inquisitr.com/243807/elvis-presleys-crypt-goes-up-for-sale/">Julien&#8217;s was planning to sell Elvis Presley&#8217;s crypt, but the sale was cancelled after protests. </a></p>
<p>Several pieces of Madonna&#8217;s lingerie were also auctioned off. A negligee worn during her Blonde Ambition tour sold for $34,375 while another piece of underwear which was worn on stage sold for $13,750.</p>
<p>The <a title="hollywood reporter" href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/michael-jackson-death-whitney-houston-elvis-presley-341642">Hollywood Reporter notes</a> that memorabilia for Whitney Houston, Amy Winehouse, John Lennon, and Keith Richards was also on sale during the Rock Icon Auction.
