Tito Jackson in 2017Tim P. Whitby
We love you Pops.
His music career began a surreptitious note as he played Joes guitar behind his fathers back.
He was finally caught after breaking a string and earning his fathers infamous ire.
So here I am playing this guitar and crying.
Im about like seven, eight years old.
And he looked at me and said, Dang, you playing just as good as me.
A better one, of course…
He said, I want you to learn every song on the radio.
So thats what I started doing.
The group released a debut single, Big Boy, in 1968, but it failed to hit.
It was a drag.
That wouldnt last long.
He was low-key and at the same time commanded respect…the same respect he showed to others.
You could say Tito was the glue that held the Jackson 5 together on their journey to superstardom.
