BIOGRAPHY

A proud father of three young men (Taj, Taryll, and TJ), known to the music world as 3T, Tito works closely with his sons. In addition to working with sisters Janet, Rebbie, and La Toya, Tito has worked with countless fine musicians, singers, and producers, such as the preeminent production team of Gamble & Huff, LA Reid & Baby Face, and the versatile Howard Hewitt.

In 1962, before the Jackson 5 and the Jacksons, Tito performed in a local group called The Jackson Brothers. After competing and winning local talent shows in and around Gary, the precocious brothers were victorious again on the most prestigious amateur stage of all, Manhattan's Apollo Theater.

In that same year Tito and his brothers made their first studio recording (local label), titled Big Boy. Not only did it turn out to be a local hit, but it set the stage for a partnership with Motown Records (1969) and subsequent appearances on the top-rated Ed Sullivan Show, American Bandstand, Soul Train, and later, their own prime time television series in 1976, on CBS.

Tito and his brothers signed with Epic Records and officially came under a new name, The Jackson's, in 1976. In 1978 he co-wrote the songs Everybody, Destiny and Push Away for his new record label. As the group The Jackson's, including Tito, they self-produced the Destiny album.

Later, for the Victory Album Tito produced, wrote, and sang on We Can Change The World, which was featured on their popular Victory Tour.

One of the performing highlights of the remarkable career of Tito Jackson is the unforgettable reunion performance on one of histories most watched television specials, Motown 25. The show signalled a pivotal point in his dazzling career and an auspicious focus on likely the greatest performer to ever grace a stage, Michael Jackson.

In 1997 Tito and his brothers were ceremonially honoured as inductees of the well-respected Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

The measure of Tito Jackson's influence can be best captured by expressions such as these: "One of the kindest, more pleasant people in show business" - major entertainment publicist.

His brother Michael also had this to say about him, "Tito is very quiet and soft, but can be really strong when necessary. He's always there when we need him and manages to project an inner calm which is vital within a family unit'.
