Join us as we celebrate the life of Tito Jackson, legendary musician of the Jackson 5, who recently passed away at age 70. Music never dies!

Tito Jackson, the spirited eldest brother of the iconic Jackson family, has passed away at the age of 70. Tito, best known for being a founding member of the celebrated pop group, the Jackson 5, reportedly suffered a heart attack while driving from New Mexico to Oklahoma. With an unparalleled impact on the music scene, Tito's legacy endures not only through his work with the group but also his familial ties to global superstars, including his brothers Michael and Jermaine, and sister Janet. It’s a heartbreaking moment for fans who grooved to classics like "I Want You Back" and "ABC."

As the third of nine siblings, Tito was instrumental in forging a path for the Jackson legacy. The Jackson 5 rose to fame in the late 1960s, captivating audiences with their infectious energy and heartwarming harmonies. The group became a cultural touchstone, paving the way for future generations of artists in pop and R&B. Tito’s role as a singer and guitarist contributed significantly to the group’s sound, and his smooth vocals were unmistakable amidst the powerhouse talents of his brothers.

Despite his monumental career, Tito remained grounded. Just weeks before his passing, he graced the stage at the MacMoray Festival, sharing his love of music with devoted fans, a testament to his lasting commitment to his craft and community. His family released news of his passing with heavy hearts, fondly recalling Tito as a loving father, brother, and friend who will forever hold a special place in the hearts of those touched by his music.

Tito leaves behind a vibrant legacy and a reminder of the universal power of music to bring joy, love, and connection. Interestingly, members of the Jackson family often described their upbringing as less glamorous than one might imagine. Instead of lavish lifestyles, they often shared stories of working together to hone their craft, a narrative that shaped not only their music but also their bond as a family. Additionally, did you know that Tito Jackson was also known for his fondness for cooking? He often wowed his fans with his culinary skills, making him not just a musical talent but also a culinary wizard!
