Tito Jackson steps Behind The Rope. Music Royalty has arrived, people! Tito starts at the beginning discussing what it was like to grow up the third of ten children in a working class family in Gary, Indiana. A working class and musical family. Tito recalls the early days of playing in local talent shows with 4 of his brothers, which were ultimately signed to Motown under the moniker “The Jackson Five”. You may have heard of them. Tito chats about Jacksonmania at its height with mega hits like “ABC”, “I’ll Be There” and “Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)”. Of course we chat with Tito about his siblings Michael and Janet and what it was like when they took over the world with Global Domination and Superstardom - “Thriller”, ‘Control” “Off The Wall”, “Rhythm Nation”. Tito opens up about the loss of his bother Michael and reacts to the world outcry of sister Janet’s wardrobe malfunction. Tito also reflects back on his own career - the highs and lows, the misperceptions of the music business, the good and the bad. Tito has three sons who are carrying on the family tradition with their very own successful band 3T, whose debut album was a mega success. Speaking of music, Tito has new music in the form of a brilliant blues album “Under Your Spell” and new hit single “Love One Another”. We chat about that, the inspirations for this music, and guest appearance by the one and only Stevie Wonder. Finally, we address the biggest misperceptions of Tito and his famous family that the media has thrust on them over the past many decades and discuss just what is next for this music legend!! Did someone say full Jackson family tour including Janet?
