Toriano Adaryll "Tito" Jackson (born on October 15, 1953 in Gary, Indiana) is an American singer and guitarist and a charter member of the The Jackson 5.

Growing up in a large family, young Tito Jackson originally hid his musical talent from his father Joseph. While his father was at work, Jackson would play his father's guitar while his siblings danced and sang.[1] It was not until the young Jackson broke a string on the guitar that father Joseph learned about his musical aspirations. Joseph was then inspired to form his three sons into a band; eventually, younger brothers Marlon and Michael joined the group, which became the legendary Jackson 5.

The Jacksons followed up with an album entitled Triumph which sold 10 million copies worldwide and 3 million copies in the US only, but Michael's Thriller became the biggest selling album of all. In 1984, the group released an album called Victory (reuniting the group with Jermaine) and followed it up with a tour. Tito sang lead on a song known as, "We Can Change The World," and played many of the instruments, but his other contributions to the album were limited to backing vocals. The subsequent tour would be one of the Jacksons' greatest successes, but almost immediately after it ended, lead singer Michael Jackson resigned from the group. Marlon Jackson also quit following the Victory Tour.

The Jacksons' final release, "2300 Jackson Street" was a more "New Jack Swing"-oriented album, who's title song reunited all of the members of the Jackson family, except LaToya. Tito didn't contribute guitar parts to the record, according to liner notes. However, he did contribute vocals, including a narration that precedes the first song.
