Gordy will pen intro to Jackson’s re-issued Moonwalk
Motown founder Berry Gordy has been revealed as the ‘mystery friend’
who will write a new introduction for Michael Jackson’s 20-year-old
memoir Moonwalk, which will be reissued in October. As WENN previously
reported, publishers at Random House have ordered a first print of
100,000 copies of the tome, which was originally acquired by Jackie
Onassis, when she was the book editor at publishing house Double Day,
and released in 1988.
The book’s original editor, Shaye Areheart – who worked closely with
Onassis - will oversee the reissue. The Moonwalk revamp will be released
simultaneously in America, Germany, France and the U.K. A New York Times
bestseller, the memoir was a tightly guarded secret project, code named
Neil Armstrong, up until its release.
Gordy was among the speakers at Jackson’s memorial service in Los
Angeles last month.
