3T and Michael Jackson - Why 1996

"Why?" was written by 13 Grammy Award-winner singer/songwriter/producer Babyface along with Michael Jackson for Jackson's 1995 HIStory: Past, Present and Future album. When "Why" was taken out, Jackson gave it to his nephews TJ, Taj and Taryll (sons of Tito Jackson) for their debut album Brotherhood (1995). It was released as the fourth single from the album. "Why?" was well received on European and Asian music charts. In 1996, 3T were ranked second behind the Spice Girls as the biggest-selling group in Europe.

3T completed a second album to follow Brotherhood that was never released by Sony due to a strained relationship with Michael Jackson (MJJ Music). They signed with the Dutch label Digidance in 2004 for Dutch releases, appearances, and performances, and the album titled Identity was released in 2004.

TJ Jackson became the co-guardian of Michael Jackson's children along with Katherine Jackson in 2012.

"Why?" received a total of 44,3% yes votes.

R.I.P. Tito Jackson

Tito Jackson of The Jackson 5 died Sunday of a heart attack at age 70 in New Mexico. Jackson breaking his father's guitar string was the catalyst that started The Jackson 5. Joe Jackson discovered his son's musical talent after scolding him for secretly playing his instrument. Mr. Jackson purchased Tito his own guitar and convinced him and his other sons, Jackie and Jermaine, to form a musical group. One year later, in 1964, Marlon and Michael joined the band. The Jackson 5 released their first single, Big Boy," in 1968 on Steeltown Records, a local record label. Joe Jackson managed to get his sons a record deal with Motown in 1969, and from there they became teen sensations thanks to hits like "The Love You Save," "ABC," and "I Want You Back." The Jackson 5 traveled the world and performed for such luminaries as the Queen of England. They were the first boy band, and their success produced Jacksonmania, where fans mobbed them wherever they went. The merchandise built around them included posters, coloring books, stickers, and their own Saturday morning cartoon. Tito Jackson did not play guitar on those Motown records, but he started writing songs, and his instrument was heard on recordings after they signed to CBS in 1976. Fans were treated to his guitar playing when The Jackson 5 performed live. Jackson played with his family throughout their changes from The Jackson 5 to simply The Jacksons. They still toured at the time of his death and were seen on social media last week acknowledging a memorial built for Michael in Munich, Germany. 

As The Jacksons, they had hits in the '70s with "Enjoy Yourself," and "Show You The Way To Go" while they were on the Philadelphia International label. The family also had their own variety show at this time. By the late '70s and early '80s, the group released their big single, "Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground)," and had further hits with "Can You Feel It," "This Place Hotel," and "Lovely One." They continued to release music until their last studio album, 2300 Jackson Street, which came out in 1989. In 1997, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 1995, Jackson's three sons, T.J., Taj, and Taryll, released their debut album, Brotherhood, as the group 3T.  They were signed to their uncle Michael's MJJ label and mentored by him. 3T was one of the biggest-selling groups in Europe, and their father Tito recorded a Jackson 5 tribute with them. 

In the early 2000s, Jackson embarked on a solo career and started playing in blues clubs with his band. B.B. King also handpicked Jackson to play in his band. Jackson had a hit record, "Get It Baby," with Big Daddy Kane in 2016 from his debut album, Tito Time.  He released his second solo album, Under Your Spell, in 2021. Jackson had recently moved to Claremore, Oklahoma, and had plans for an entertainment center in the Tulsa Arts District, a festival, and a documentary.

Lyrics:

I'm stuck on you

I'm stuck on you

I'm stuck on you

Stuck on you

I've got this feeling down deep in my soul that I just can't lose

Guess I'm on my way

Needed a friend

And the way I feel now I guess I'll be with you 'til the end

Guess I'm on my way

Mighty glad you stayed

I'm stuck on you

I'm stuck on you

Stuck on you

Been a fool too long I guess it's time for me to come on home

Guess I'm on my way (hey baby)

So hard to see

That a woman like you could wait around for a man like me

Guess I'm on my way

I'm mighty glad you stayed

Oh girl, I'm stuck on you

And I can't stop loving you (stuck on you)

I've been a fool for way too long

Stuck on you

Oh girl, I'm stuck on you

And I can't stop loving you (stuck on you)

I've been a fool for way too long

Oh, I'm leaving on that midnight train tomorrow

And I know just where I'm going

I've packed up my troubles and I've thrown them all away

'Cause this time little darling

I'm coming home to stay (ooh)

I'm stuck on you

I've got this feeling down deep in my soul that I just can't lose

Guess I'm on my way

I needed a friend

And the way I feel now I guess I'll be with you 'til the end

Guess I'm on my way

I'm mighty glad you stayed

Stuck on you

Oh girl, I'm stuck on you

And I can't stop loving you (stuck on you)

I've been a fool for way too long

Stuck on you

Oh girl, I'm stuck on you

And I can't stop loving you (stuck on you)

I've been a fool for way too long

Guess I'm on my way

Oh girl, I'm stuck on you

And I can't stop loving you (stuck on you)

I've been a fool for way too long

Stuck on you

Oh girl, I'm stuck on you

And I can't stop loving you (stuck on you)

I've been a fool for way too long

I'm mighty glad you stayed

Remembering Tito Jackson 1953-2024

Sad news that singer / songwriter / musician Tito Jackson has died at 70. He was a founding member of The Jackson 5 with his brothers. He was the third of ten Jackson children. I know everyone talks about Michael Jackson when they talk about The Jackson 5, but the group as a whole had a ton of great pop songs. I discovered them as a kid when I saw re-runs of their animated TV series (initial run was ABC 1971-1972). Tito was voiced by another actor, but he was a main character on it and it featured their music (similar to The Beatles cartoon series).

In addition to vocals, Tito played guitar and synthesizer in The Jackson 5 and he was in every lineup of the group including their evolution to The Jacksons. So many classic hits like "I Want You Back", "ABC", "Can You Feel It", "State of Shock" with Mick Jagger, and "Torture". In 1984, The Jacksons went on the Victory Tour, which I wanted to go to, but it was sold out :( The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. After going on hiatus in 1989, they reunited in 2001 and then again in 2012 and have been touring and performing since then.

Tito and Michael Jackson (1958-2009) back in the day

Tito was the father of three sons who were members of the group 3T, who he mentored. Tito was also a solid blues guitarist and even played in the B.B. King Blues Band. Like his siblings, he also took part in USA for Africa's "We are the World".

RIP Tito Jackson

So I woke up this morning and checked Reddit. The first thing I see is that Tito Jackson passed away.

When I first saw it, I wasn't sure if it was true or not. It was posted on the r/MichaelJackson subreddit, and a few days ago there was something posted about one of those fake celebrity death scam videos, so my mind went back to that...but no. It seems that it's real this time. There isn't a confirmed cause of death, but the supposed cause was a heart attack.

I'll make this short but sweet: My thoughts are prayers are going out to the Jackson family, especially Tito's sons. Despite the emotional consequences of this (this is the third child Katherine has lost 💔), I'm glad that Tito is now reunited with Michael and other deceased family members.

Fly high, Tito. May you rest in peace with Michael, Brandon, Joseph, ect.

(On a side note, I'd just like to say that this has been a horrible year for celebrities. First Benji Gregory, then James Earl Jones, now Tito. 2024, you better not a lay a hand on anyone else.)
