Tito Jackson making new music

Tito Jackson making new music

Don't be surprised if you run into Tito Jackson at his local Starbucks.

"I have a Starbucks within a couple of blocks of my home that I spend some time in so yes you can find me there," Jackson told CNN, chuckling.

You need lots of caffeine when you are stirring up the creative juices and Jackson is doing just that with a new album and his "World Unity" tour scheduled for 2011.


The elder Jackson brother is set to release his debut solo album, "So Far, So Good," which will showcase his guitar skills and his eclectic musical style which he said was influenced growing up as a part of the Jackson 5 where he and his brothers listened to everything from "The Beatles to the blues to Three Dog Night."

Jackson said his solo project has been a long time coming.


"At the time the Jackson solo albums were being done, I was being a father," Jackson said "I was being dad, coaching little league and such. I didn't want to take that time away from my three sons."
His sons went on to form the musical group 3T.

Jackson will kick off his tour by headlining the 22nd Annual Peach Drop New Year’s Eve Celebration in Atlanta, Georgia. His mother, Katherine Jackson, is planning to join him and Jackson said he's very familiar with the city where he plans to play some classic Jackson tunes as well as new material to ring in 2011.

"I love Atlanta," he said. "My brother Jermaine lived there at one point. I've never played Atlanta without my brothers and it should be fun."

And even though he appeared with his surviving brothers earlier this year in a reality show, "The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty," the singer/musician said he continues to live the low-key lifestyle which has helped guard his privacy all these years despite being part of one of the world's most famous families.
"I'm more of a homebody," he said. "I try to do something productive every day be it music or something around the house. That keeps me basically grounded and private."

Tito Jackson going to be in atlanta for New Years

Underground Atlanta is thrilled to announce the exciting line-up of musical talent, including headliner and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Tito Jackson, for the 22nd Annual Peach Drop New Year's Eve Celebration. Jackson and his spectacular band will electrify audiences with the soulful harmonies of the Jackson 5, Motown's greatest discovery. Jackson will also perform two songs from his highly anticipated first solo album titled "So Far, So Good," which will make its worldwide debut in February, 2011. At this very special event, Jackson will be ringing in the New Year with his mother, Mrs. Katherine Jackson, and a host of Jackson family members in attendance for this, the US kick-off of his "World Unity Tour 2011." Mayor Kasim Reed will also join Jackson on stage to count down the final minutes of 2010 and watch the famed giant peach descend into the night.

"Much Too Soon" - At a very early age my Uncle taught me to appreciate and study all types of music. I remember going to the music stores with him and he would pull cd's for me "Do you know this? (Carole King... Tapestry) have you heard of them? (Bread) oh I love this...(Jim Croce's.. I have to say I love you in a song)" we would walk down the aisles of every section... it was like homework for me. He gave me a little at a time and when I was ready for more he would give me a whole new list. "There's so many styles... study it all, don't limit yourself." - I would leave the store with a wide variety with anything from Tchikovsky's Nutcracker to Queen. When we got home or in the car we would listen to it. Some songs would weaken him and touch his heart while others would make him sing and dance!! He was always teaching me and I am so thankful for all of his lessons in both music and life. - this is what came to my mind when I first heard "Much Too Soon." I love this style of music and I can appreciate it because of you. I love you MJ

When I listen to "Hold My Hand" so many memories come to my mind. I think about some of the most treasured qualities… loyalty, unity and love. One of his favorite moments on stage was performing "I'll Be There"…he said, "when they turn the lights on you can see the crowd swinging their arms, singing along… it's like a sea of love. It doesn't matter what country, it's the same all around the world." Please listen to the message. Hold My Hand... I will forever.

"HOLD MY HAND" was the last song my uncle Michael every played to me in person. He was SO PROUD OF IT. I'll never forget that smile he had on his face as the song played through the speakers (in his room) at the Palms Hotel in Vegas. After the song was over, he asked me what I honestly thought of it. I told him it was a worldwide number one song and that it was going to be a huge. He was so happy to hear that.

I did give the song one slight criticism though. I told my uncle that he needed to be singing more in the chorus and at the end of the song... lol. I said that we (the fans) would want to hear his voice more. :-)

"Hold my Hand" will be officially released tomorrow, November 15th. I'm definitely excited to buy it as soon as it becomes available knowing that the moment I play it, I will instantly remember the day my uncle first played it to me. It's these memories of him that I hold on to and cherish with all my heart. Words can't express how much I love and miss my uncle Michael.

Out of the 10 songs listed only 7 of them are Michael Jackson. Someone just asked me," is 'Keep Your Head Up' real or are we being lied to again? Sorry, but you won't like my answer…. Let's enjoy Hold My Hand.

On Saturday 13th November 2010, @Taryll said:
In regards to the statement, I tried calling Howard's cell but couldn't reach him. (I wanted to hear from him directly). After calling his office, somebody confirmed that the statement did come from Howard. As I said before, there are many inaccuracies and omissions in that statement. For one, I was also in that meeting and that was not the outcome. Saying that, I don't want to go into further details and take away from the attention "Hold My Hand" truly deserves. You will hear my story because this is way too important for my Uncle's legacy. The truth will prevail.

We are still waiting for confirmation that the statement yesterday by Howard Weitzman (on behalf of the estate) is real and official. There are many blatant inaccuracies and omissions which makes me think it is not. I'm waiting on a phone call or the statement to be posted on an official site (such as michaeljackson.com) before I respond.

If you question the validity of a professional photo you can ask the photographer for more pictures from that photo shoot. If it is authentic the photographer will turn over different shots. Some with different poses, some even with eyes closed. I questioned the validity of the vocal's on "breaking news" and several other songs of theirs that I've heard and they told me no other takes or tracks exist. They claim my uncle was so happy with the performance he instructed them to delete all the other files. I had the honor to learn and watch my uncle record my entire life and that is NOT how he worked. No outtakes, no other tracks, no backups, no proof. roughly 10 songs they turned in… same story for all of them. I asked for the computer it was created on... they said it broke. I asked for the original hard drive... they said it was destroyed. One dubious excuse after another.

to all the mj fans… regarding the song "breaking news" i am so sorry you have to deal with this. my uncle loved you so much and would not want it this way. However there are songs that ARE my uncle singing on the upcoming album and I will support those 100% But I will not support "Breaking News" and a few others because it simply is not him. They tried to fool me and they tried to fool you. I told them it would never happen.

I am shocked that things have gotten this far. This is ridiculous. I was at the studio when these questionable files were delivered. I heard these "so-called" Michael Jackson songs raw and without the distraction of the well produced music by Teddy Riley. How they constructed these songs is very sneaky and sly. many people who have worked on this project either have strong doubts and questions while others KNOW the truth yet decided to turn and look the other way with their hands out for $$$. I will NEVER look the other way. Right is Right, Truth is Truth, Facts are Facts and it will all come out!!! I tried so hard to prevent this craziness, but they wouldn't listen. I KNOW my Uncle's voice and something's seriously wrong when you have immediate FAMILY saying it's not him. Don't you have to wonder why? I have strong, undeniable points. They can't give me answers, yet continue to move forward with lies and deception. Sounding like Michael Jackson and BEING Michael Jackson are two different things.

"If you know it's a lie then you will swear it, If you give it with guilt then you will bear it, If it's taking a chance then you will dare it… you would do anything for money"

tjjackson They said this is 100% my Uncle. Not 70, 80 or 90 but a 100%. Every line, every word. My Uncle's legacy didn't deserve this!

tjjackson Sounds like Jason Malachi to me too. The vibrato is a dead give away that it's not my uncle. Fans, I am so sorry you were put through this.

There's many MJ vocal impersonators. Some better than others. But there is only ONE Michael Jackson. Deceptively merging shady vocals with MJ samples (from prior MJ records) will never fool me. Why they would ignore the obvious, look the other way and rush a suspicious track that was NEVER on my Uncle's radar is beyond me.
I'm disgusted, disappointed and saddened. And before the media starts to smear our name, just remember we are COMMITTED (as our Uncle Michael always knew) to protect his name and his amazing legacy he worked his whole life for. We have nothing to gain and we know they will try to drag our name through the mud.

But we know how much he valued his legacy and his fans. And cheating either is unacceptable. "Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons"

TJ Jackson to Fill King of Pop’s Moonwalking Shoes: Michael Jackson’s Nephew Will Star in 'Sisterella' With Taylor Dayne

TJ Jackson—Tito Jackson’s son, Michael Jackson’s nephew—has been chosen to fill a major role left behind by his famous uncle’s tragic death. TJ Jackson will play the role of Prince Jean Luc in Larry Hart’s musical ‘Sisterella’ opposite '90s star Taylor Dayne. The show is due to open in Los Angeles next spring.
According to the Canadian Press, the role was originally written for “King of Pop” Michael Jackson. The superstar singer and performer was slated to appear in the role following the conclusion of his ‘This Is It’ tour. Also starring in the production is hit songstress Taylor Dayne. The story involves a wicked stepmother trying to steal her stepdaughter’s fortune in turn-of-the-century New York. Michael Jackson was the executive producer of the original 1996 production on ‘Sisterella,’ which premiered at the Pasadena Playhouse.
Is TJ Jackson the right choice for such a role? Or is the Jackson family playing on public sympathy to keep their entertainment dynasty rolling? TJ—whose real name is Tito Joe—has been, up until, best known for being part of R&B group 3T along with his two brothers. While the group found some success with hits in the mid-90s, most of TJ’s public exposure has been Jackson family related, including appearing onstage at Michael Jackson’s memorial along with his children Paris and Prince, and participating in the ‘We are the World’ remake earlier this year.
It remains to be seen whether TJ Jackson has the acting and singing chops necessary to do justice to his late uncle’s role in ‘Sisterella.’ While keeping it all in the family is nice, it’s also true there’s a wide range of talent in the Jackson clan. Will TJ be the next big thing, or just a flash in the pan who relies on nepotism to get ahead in the entertainment industry? Jackson family fans will have to wait until opening night to find out.

Michael Jackson video box set features gems

Michael Jackson's complete library of videos is being restored and rereleased, as well as a never-released clip for his song "One More Chance."


The "Michael Jackson's Vision" boxed set is due out on Nov. 22 and includes 4½ hours worth of material, including the full version of "Black or White," which was cut short after its initial release due to violent imagery and Jackson's gyrations.
Jackson made a short film for the song "One More Chance," but it was never released. He was charged with sexual molestation in 2003, right around the time the single was released. He was acquitted in that case.

Other videos include Martin Scorsese-directed "Bad" and his most famous video, "Thriller."
