It’s a Motown beatdown in a sharkskin suit. It's wailing like it's gospel while they're laying in the boots. It's a curb-stomping rhythm on the corner of control. It's a nod in the direction of when all the shoes had leather souls. And so when those shoes were twisting, to Otis and to James. And so now do, The Vanrays too, we are here to do the same.

🕊💔 #ArtIsAWeapon
Heartbroken & speechless about the sudden passing of Toriano Adarryl “Tito” Jackson, who was - along with his siblings - another huge part of my life's soundtrack.
Image 1 reposted from Tito's IG account/ other images and caption below from @motownmuseum ; guitar compilation from "Call Me KD" youtube, via @djsoulsister
Tito’s voice was often heard as the baritone of the Jackson 5, creating a foundation for their vocal harmonies. On stage he simultaneously sang, executed intricate dance steps, and played guitar. As the sole guitarist in live performances, Tito often adapted his playing to make his one single instrument cover the multiple guitar parts heard on studio recordings.
As a child, Tito used a guitar belonging to his father, Joseph Jackson, to practice playing the Blues. [After punishing him for breaking one of the strings] Tito's father gifted the guitar to him and told him to learn as many songs as he could. The family formed a performing group, the #Jackson5, with Tito and his brothers Michael, Jermaine, Marlon, and Jackie. Live performances by the group impressed Motown artists Bobby Taylor and Gladys Knight, who brought them to the attention of Berry Gordy.
After a filmed audition in July 1968, the group signed with #Motown, beginning their journey in Detroit. The Jackson 5 exploded onto the pop and R&B charts in 1969 with “I Want You Back.” Like many of the group’s earliest hits, the song was written by The Corporation, a group of Motown songwriters and producers. Diana Ross played a major role in The Jackson 5’s debut album, writing the liner notes and helping promote the group on national TV appearances.
Four hit releases followed over the next 11 months: “I Want You Back,” “ABC,” “The Love You Save,” and “I’ll Be There,” setting a record for the Jackson 5 as the first act to ever have their first four singles consecutively reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. They went on to have 17 top 10 hits with the Motown label and became cultural icons with multiple world tours, a cartoon series, and memorabilia. The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, and three Jackson 5 singles have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
