This is what Tito Jackson said about himself
Tito, along with his brothers, was part of the legendary band The Jackson 5. The artist generally did not stand out from the crowd, which he himself acknowledged.
I've always been the quietest member of the group, so people make jokes about me - he said in an interview given in 2018, adding with undisguised regret:
One of my favorite basketball players, Charles Barkley, said, ‘If Tito wasn’t in the Jackson 5, would we miss him?’ That hit me in the heart. It crushed me.
