Born October 15, 1953, in Gary, Indiana, Tito was part of one of the most influential musical families. The Jackson 5, featuring Tito and his brothers Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael, achieved global fame with hits like, "I Want You Back" and "ABC."

Tito later pursued a solo career and supported his children’s success in music.

The Jackson 5's ground breaking success in the late 1960s and early 1970s helped pave the way for future boy bands and left a lasting impact on the music industry. 

The cause of death is yet to be officially confirmed.
