Tito Jackson, an original member of the family band the Jackson 5, which launched the career of the late King of Pop Michael Jackson, has died at 70.
Tito Jackson, one of the original members of the seminal Motown group the Jackson 5, has died. He was 70. Jackson's death was announced late Sunday by his three sons. They did not disclose a cause of death for the late guitarist and background singer, but said they were 'shocked, saddened and heartbroken.' Representatives for Jackson did not immediately respond Monday to The Times' requests for comment.
He was among the founding members of the hit-making Jackson 5, which came together in the 1960s under the tutelage of domineering patriarch Joe Jackson, then caught the eye of Motown Records founder Berry Gordy Jr. After being introduced to the nation by Diana Ross, they put forth the beloved 'bubblegum soul' singles “ABC,” “I Want You Back” and “I’ll Be There.
