He was nominated for a Grammy Award three times,[1] and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Jackson 5.

[3][4] He was the third of ten children of the Jackson family: Rebbie, Jackie, Jermaine, La Toya, Marlon, Brandon, Michael, Randy, and Janet who lived in a two-bedroom house in Gary.

His father, Joseph (July 26, 1928 – June 27, 2018), was a steel mill worker, and played R&B in a band, the Falcons, with his brother Luther.

Once he was finished, Joe bought him his own guitar, and convinced Tito, Jackie, and Jermaine to form a singing group.

[7][8][9] After first performing in school functions and supermarkets, the brothers began participating in local talent shows when Jackson was twelve.

After winning the Amateur Night competition for the Apollo Theater in August 1967, Joe Jackson began to work part-time at the steel mill to help his sons secure a recording contract.

[11] As a direct result, his guitar work did not make its debut until he and the Jacksons left Motown for CBS Records in 1976.

[11] In 2007, in the United Kingdom, Jackson appeared as a judge on the BBC celebrity singing competition Just the Two of Us for series two of the show.

His co-judges were vocal coach CeCe Sammy, musician Stewart Copeland, and radio DJ Trevor Nelson.

[24] "One Way Street" features a remix from producer Gregg Pagani, who has worked with Charlie Wilson and Johnny Gill.

The album "Under Your Spell" also features collaborations with George Benson, rock guitarist Joe Bonamassa, Grady Champion, Claudette King, The O'Jay's Eddie Levert, and Steven Powell.

To honor him, Tito and his brothers Marlon, Jackie, Jermaine, and Randy Jackson served as pallbearers, each wearing a single spangled white glove and sunglasses.

[43][44][45] His last words were to his business associate Terry Harvey Maltbia, "I ain't feeling good in my chest.

"[46] Gallup police stated they were alerted to Jackson being in need of medical attention near a mall before he was taken by ambulance to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead aged 70.

[48][49] In 2021, Jackson released "Make Your Mind Up", a collaboration with EEDB and Toni Tuklan, featuring Kaos Mc And Duendy Primeiro.
