Tito Jackson, Founding Member of the Jackson 5, Dies at 70
Tito Jackson, one of five brothers who came together in the mid-'60s as the iconic family group the Jackson 5, has died at age 70.
News of the death was first reported by Entertainment Tonight, which said word of Tito’s passing came from Steve Manning, a longtime friend and associate of the Jackson family. During this initial burst of glory, young Michael was the primary focus of attention, but the chemistry and choreography of the less prominent brothers was an essential part of their success as a top act on “The Ed Sullivan Show” and other TV variety series. Michael left the Jacksons at the end of that tour, taking most of the attention with him, but different permutations of the family group continued to perform and record in intervals thereafter.
