Luenell just reported that Tito Jackson has died. Why would she post this BEFORE his family or team made a statement?What if this is a hoax? If he’s not dead, social media is about to drag her!.
Tito Jackson was born on October 15, 1953 in Gary, Indiana, the third child in the Jackson family. As the guitarist of the Jackson 5, he used his “lower” voice to balance the higher notes of the other brothers.
Tito is often credited as the founder of the Jackson Five and has said he inherited his talent from his father Joseph, the leader of the blues group the Falcons. One day, Joseph Jackson found a broken string on his guitar and discovered that eight-year-old Tito was playing it every day. He invited Tito to play guitar for him and was impressed by his talent and the singing of his sons Jackie and Jermaine. Joseph began to envision a singing group for his sons, and by 1967 the lineup was known as the “Jackson Five.”
In addition to working with sisters Janet, Rebbie and La Toya, Tito has collaborated with talented musicians, singers and producers such as Gamble & Huff, the stellar production team of LA Reid & Baby Face, and the versatile Howard Hewitt.
In 2010, Tito completed the first season as an executive producer of the A&E Network reality show The Jacksons: Family Dynasty.
