Tito Jackson’s life highlighted.
Tito, born Toriano Adaryll Jackson, was a key member of the iconic Jackson 5.
His talent on guitar helped define the group’s sound, creating timeless hits like I Want You Back and ABC.
Growing up under Joe Jackson’s strict management, the Jackson kids had a tough upbringing, but their music defined an era.
Tito, alongside Michael, Jermaine, Marlon, and Jackie, made music history as the first group to have four consecutive No. 1 singles.
