Tito Jackson: Early Years & Biography
Tito Jackson was the third of ten siblings, born to his father Joseph and mother Katherine. His father worked at a steel plant, while his mother was a committed Jehovah’s Witness. Their family belonged to the respectable working class. They lived in a three-bedroom residence in Gary, Indiana.
At the age of ten, Tito Jackson was spotted by his father strumming his (father’s) guitar after the string snapped. His father repaired the string and encouraged his son to keep playing the guitar for him.
The broken string seemingly marked the beginning of a new phase for Tito Jackson as his father motivated him, Jackie, and Jermaine to establish a singing group, highlighting the outstanding vocal talents of Jackie and Jermaine.
Tito Jackson: Personal Life
Tito and his partner Dolores Martez “Dee Dee” tied the knot in 1972 when she was just 18 years of age. However, by 1988, their union ended, and neither party desired to revive it.
Six years later, in 1994, Martinez was found deceased, her body located in a swimming pool.

Tito Jackson: Career
The brothers started performing at school events and later at local venues when Jackson was merely 12. His brother Michael took the helm of the group when he was just seven.
In 1965, they chose the name Jackson 5 for their group. Their dedication to music earned them various accolades.
After two years in the band, Joe Jackson took a part-time job at the steel mill to help secure a deal with Steel Town Records.
In 1969, the Jackson 5 obtained a contract with Motown Records in Detroit. Under Motown, they released a string of hits that gained international recognition, including ‘I Want You Back,’ ‘I’ll Be There,’ and ‘ABC,’ among others.
Tito and his brother Marlon rarely contributed background vocals, and when they did, it was minimal. Motown restricted Tito and the Jackson 5 from playing guitar during lead recordings, instead using session guitarists for that purpose.
In 1976, Tito and the Jackson 5 departed from Motown and signed with CBS Records. During their time with CBS, Tito lent his voice to tracks such as ‘Man of War’ and ‘Zippee Doo Da.’
In 2003, he began a solo journey performing blues music.
During a BBC celebrity singing competition, Tito served as one of the judges.
Following the demise of his brother, the remaining members appeared in a reality TV show titled ‘The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty.’
