Tito Jackson, Founding Member of The Jackson 5, Dies at 70
Tito Jackson, one of the original members of the legendary pop group The Jackson 5, has died at the age of 70. Jackson, born Toriano Adaryll Jackson, passed away on Monday, according to a family statement. No cause of death has been released.
As the third eldest of the iconic Jackson siblings, Tito played a pivotal role in the group that revolutionized pop and R&B music in the 1970s. Alongside his brothers Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon, and lead singer Michael Jackson, The Jackson 5 became a global sensation with hits like โI Want You Back,โ โABC,โ and โIโll Be There.โ Tito, known for his guitar skills, helped to shape the bandโs sound and unique blend of soul, funk, and pop.
โItโs with heavy hearts that we announce that our beloved father, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Tito Jackson is no longer with us. We are shocked, saddened and heartbroken. Our father was an incredible man who cared about everyone and their well-being,โ his sons TJ, Taj and Taryll Jackson said in a statement posted on Instagram late Sunday.
Tito Jacksonโs solo career emerged after the groupโs initial success, with him venturing into blues and jazz. His 2016 album Tito Timeย earned praise from critics for its fusion of soul and contemporary sounds, though he remained best known for his work with The Jackson 5.
Born on October 15, 1953, in Gary, Indiana, Tito and his siblings began their musical journey performing in local talent shows before signing with Motown Records in 1968. Under the guidance of the Motown label, the group achieved unprecedented success, becoming one of the best-selling boy bands of all time.
In later years, Tito continued performing, often appearing at Jackson family reunions and tribute concerts. He was also a philanthropist, working with various charities focused on children and music education.
Tito Jackson is survived by his three children and several grandchildren, as well as his siblings. Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced.
Contributions to Music and Legacy
Titoโs influence extended far beyond his performances. His guitar riffs, often understated in comparison to his brother Michaelโs vocals, were essential to The Jackson 5โs innovative sound. He was admired for his professionalism, often referred to as the โquiet Jackson,โ focusing on music more than the limelight.
Fans and fellow musicians have begun sharing tributes on social media. Quincy Jones, the producer behind Michael Jacksonโs solo albums, described Tito as โthe glue of The Jackson 5 โ a true musician and a wonderful spirit.โ
While Tito Jacksonโs passing marks the end of an era for the Jackson family, his legacy will continue to resonate through the music that touched millions.
