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".

B.B. King

The blues was bleeding the same blood as me. The blues didn't have to explain the mystery of pain that I felt;

it was there in the songs and voices of singers like Lonnie Johnson and Blind Lemon Jefferson, in the cries of their guitars.”

CMT Hot 20 Presents Let Freedom Sing!

So today on the MSR (Midnight Star Review), I would like to talk about the latest edition of Let freedom sing! The show was by CMT (Country Music Television) and hosted by Cody Alan. And the performer was Brad Paisley playing his hits. The show took place on CMT and was on Tuesday July 4th, 2023 and was on at 10pm EST (Eastern Standard Time). So let see what Brad played for us on this special night.

Set list. So many Summers. The love boat. Water. Jerry Douglas, & Dan Tyminski played "Man of constant sorrow". This is Country Music. American Saturday night. Celebrity Whiskey lullaby with Kelleigh Bannen. Let the good times roll (Tribute to B.B. King). Mud on tires. Alcohol.

And that's a wrap for this special performance. And on the MSR (Midnight Star Review), I would give this show a 3 out of 5 stars. My biggest complaint about these concerts are they only 1 hour long. Brad has a lot of hits, and he did deserve more time. It was good to go down memory lane with Brad's hits. Thanks for taking the time to read this review. See ya all next time.
