The Oklahoma Eagle Newswire

 

Tito Jackson (along with his brothers Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael) professionally debuted in 1967 as a member of the music group The Jackson 5 as singer and guitar player of the band. Considered “one of the biggest phenomenon in pop music during the early 1970s, The Jackson 5’s combination of extraordinary musical talent and choreography has earned the family the status of pop royalty in the music world and was later responsible for providing the launching pads of the solo careers of both Jermaine and Michael.

The Jackson 5 were later known as The Jacksons when brothers Jackie, Tito, Marlon, Michael and Randy signed to CBS Records, while Jermaine stayed loyal to Motown and continued his solo career. The brothers reunited in 1984 and released their biggest-selling album to date, “Victory”, followed by the Victory Tour, performing 55 concerts to an audience of 2 million and the tour sold what was then a record number of ticket sales.

Adored by millions of fans the world over, The Jacksons forever changed the landscape of popular music. The Jacksons’ unique brand of soulful pop-funk, their lengthy catalogue of hits, and their impeccable live performances have made them one of the most beloved musical acts of all time. Idols unlike any other in music history, the Jacksons redefined, reinvented, and reinvigorated popular music as we know it.

The Jacksons brothers have been performing on stage in front of crowds all over the world and been charting hits as a group for over 50 years.

Besides making music with his brothers, Tito has been mentoring his sons Taj, Taryll and TJ, the music group 3T, who’s debut album “Brotherhood sold over 3 million records worldwide.

The Jackson 5 were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1999 as The Jackson 5. Listed among The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s “500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll” are two of the group’s songs (“ABC” and “I Want You Back”) with “I Want You Back” also included in the Grammy Hall of Fame.
