Tito Jackson, brother of Michael Jackson and founding member of The Jackson 5, died of a heart attack on Sunday. He was driving on a highway in New Mexico to his home in Oklahoma and had just pulled over when he died. He was 70 years old.
Before his death, Tito had been singing with his brothers, Jackie Jackson and Marlon Jackson, performing as recently as Sept. 8 in Surrey, England. The trio reportedly had appearances set for Oct. 25 in New Jersey and Nov. 1 in Ohio.
Earlier this week in Munich, Germany, Tito and his brothers “visited the beautiful memorial dedicated to our beloved brother, Michael Jackson,” he wrote on Facebook. “We’re deeply grateful for this special place that honors not only his memory but also our shared legacy. Thank you for keeping his spirit alive.”

When the Jacksons wound up their 1975 tour with a show in Mexico City, the group delivered everything anyone would have expected: the hits (from “I Want You Back” and “ABC” through Michael’s “Ben”), newer material like “Dancing Machine,” and ace choreography. But during a segment when each member of their backup band stepped out for an extended solo, fans were also reminded of one of the group’s secret musical weapons — brother Tito’s guitar.

When it came out, Marvel‘s Guardians of the Galaxy was one of the quirkier superhero movies on the market. Director James Gunn said he had to include a 1970s song in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 because he loved how weird it was. In addition, he initially wasn’t sure if the track in question was an authentic 1970s track or a modern song that was meant to sound retro.
‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ director James Gunn thought this song might be a trick
The first Guardians of the Galaxy brought a number of late 1960s and 1970s radio staples back to the limelight, including Blue Swede’s “Hooked on a Feeling,” The Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back,” and Norman Greenbaum’s “Spirit in the Sky.” During a 2017 interview with Rolling Stone, Gunn discussed his process of choosing songs for Guardian of the Galaxy Vol. 2. “One of...

Love or hate Marvel‘s Guardians of the Galaxy, it has some killer songs on its soundtrack. The moment audiences saw Star-Lord dance to Redbone’s “Come and Get Your Love,” they knew Guardians of the Galaxy wouldn’t be a typical superhero movie. Here’s a look at the five best tracks used in the film.
5. Redbone’s ‘Come and Get Your Love’
One of the magical things about the 1970s was disco. One of the other magical things about the 1970s was the way that rock bands started incorporating disco into their music. This led to some classic tracks like The Rolling Stones’ “Miss You” and Kiss’ “I Was Made for Lovin’ You.” Since the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack is heavily indebted to the 1970s, it had to use a song in that vein.

Marvel changed superhero movies when they put out the original Guardians of the Galaxy. That doesn’t mean the film was any good. In fact, Guardians of the Galaxy only became popular because it stood out from the pack in 2014. In 2024, it just feels like another superhero movie.
‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ is an unimpressive movie that came out at the right time
During a 2007 interview with Total Film, Tim Burton unknowingly recapped the history of superhero films leading up to Guardians of the Galaxy. “I was lucky when I made Batman because, at the time, it felt like new territory,” he revealed. “We went back to the traditions of the comic and they were usually light and cartoony. It was exciting. Then, all of a sudden, every comic book hero is a tortured soul in a funny costume. [Laughs]

Music is full of little ironies. The Jackson 5 had four No. 1 songs. It would’ve been nice for them to have five No. 1 singles, but I guess that it was up to Michael Jackson’s solo career to pick up the slack. Three of those singles are timeless and beloved, but the other one has been left on the ash heap of history.
4. ‘The Love You Save’
Boy bands are sometimes seen as inherently artless and disposable. The Jackson 5 are a strong counterexample, as several of their songs have become indelible favorites. On the other hand, “The Love You Save” has been forgotten and justly so. The Billboard Book of Number 1 Hits reports the track was a chart-topper, but that didn’t save it.
“The Love You Save” has some dated references to Christopher Columbus and Benjamin Franklin that you would never hear in a pop song today. The best...

Back in 2018, Lake Street Dive premiered a new song, “Shame, Shame, Shame,” that didn’t name names but was pretty much aimed at certain president in power at the time: “Bet you think you’re a big man now/But you don’t know how to be a good man too,” the band’s Rachael Price sang.
After a while, the song was dropped from the set; “it felt briefly irrelevant,” says bassist Bridget Kearney. When the group hits the road this summer and into the fall ahead of the November election,...

When artists are compared to The Beatles, it’s usually meant as a compliment. However, Michael Jackson was upset when someone said The Jackson 5 were “the Black Beatles.” He had a point! On top of that, The Beatles and The Jackson 5 left behind very different legacies.
The Beatles and The Jackson 5 both inspired Saturday morning cartoons
Jermaine Jackson was a member of The Jackson 5. In his 2011 book You Are Not Alone: Michael, Through a Brother’s Eyes, Jermaine revealed that Motown had Fred Rice, the same marketing genius who helped The Beatles take over the world, merchandise The Jackson 5. The group inspired toys, clothing, and hair care products.
“He even started talking to New York animators Rankin/Bass, the makers of ABC’s The King Kong Show, about turning us into cartoon characters,” Jermaine wrote. “‘I’m going to have your faces everywhere,’ he said. ‘You’re the Black Beatles.

Boy band songs aren’t the most widely respected examples of popular music. Regardless, Michael Jackson’s boy band, The Jackson 5, gave us some of the best pop songs of all time. Rolling Stone named a Jackson 5 tune the best boy band song ever. Here’s a look at what the magazine had to say about it.
Rolling Stone praised boy band songs by The Jackson 5, One Direction, and others
Back in the day, boy bands were often dismissed as frivolous music for young girls. Critics usually had similar opinions about pop music as a whole. A new movement in the press called “poptimism” changed many hearts and minds, and now the latest boy band release will inspire just as much analysis as the latest Boy Genius album.

50 Cent and Michael Jackson are very different artists. However, the “Billie Jean” singer made a big impact on 50 Cent at a young age. In addition, 50 Cent and Jackson teamed up together to take on the press through music.
50 Cent was introduced to Michael Jackson’s music by his grandmother
During a 2022 interview with NME, 50 Cent named the songs that were the soundtrack of his life. He picked out several classic rap tracks, including Erik B & Rakim’s “Paid in Full,” Future’s “Karate Chop,” and The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Hypnotize.” He also showed some love for songs outside of the rap genre, such as Bobby Womack’s “Across 110th Street” and, most bafflingly, Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball.”

Before Michael Jackson was a pop star in his own right, millions of Americans knew him as the lead vocalist on The Jackson 5’s “ABC.” The tune made history because of its title. Jackson released two other songs that made history for the exact same reason.
The Jackson 5’s ‘ABC’ is tied for the No. 1 single with the shortest title
Many companies measure the success of popular songs but Billboard is the most famous. When people say a song is “a No. 1 hit,” they are likely saying that the song reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. With The Jackson 5 and as a solo artist, Jackson was no stranger to success on the Billboard Hot 100.
Several songs are tied for having the shortest title on the Billboard Hot 100. They all have three characters in their names. Those songs include The Jackson 5’s “ABC,” Frankie Avalon’s “Why,” Edwin Starr’s “War,...

Michael Jackson‘s stardom began with the release of The Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back.” It took a lot to record that song and Jackson learned from the experience. The song also became the first of four No. 1 singles by The Jackson 5.
What the producer of The Jackson 5’s ‘I Want You Back’ said to Michael Jackson
Berry Gordy was the founder of Motown. He also served as one of the producers of The Jackson 5’s first (and perhaps most popular) single: “I Want You Back. In his 2011 book You Are Not Alone: Michael, Through a Brother’s Eyes, The Jackson 5’s Jermaine Jackson discussed what Gordy did during the recording of “I Want You Back.”
“If he felt the drums needed something extra, he added it; if the bass was too busy or not busy enough, he changed it,” Jermaine wrote. “If the keyboards needed less impact, he...

Michael Jackson‘s “Billie Jean” is a song about a man who may or may not have fathered a child with a woman he doesn’t like. One of Jackson’s brothers explained the song’s connection to Motown founder Berry Gordy. Gordy is a musical legend, but his label’s music faced some criticism from one of The Beatles.
‘Billie Jean’ was 1 of several Michael Jackson songs inspired by Motown’s Berry Gordy
Jermaine Jackson was a member of The Jackson 5. In his 2011 book You Are Not Alone: Michael, Through a Brother’s Eyes, Jermaine discussed the Motown formula. “If Americans’ brains went to Harvard, America’s talent went to Motown — and artists graduated with a lifetime’s knowledge,” he said. “‘You’re entering the finest finishing school in the business,’ Mr. Gordy told us.
“Our education was fast-track: every song should be a three-minute story with a beginning,...

Can we all agree that “Spice Girls” are unbreakable? Because since the formation of the girl band music group in 1994 that consists of five young women and even after they unofficially disbanded and moved on to achieve greater things, they still kept in contact with each other and still shared a bond that not even distance could break.
Last month, a member of the girl group Mel B otherwise known as Melanie Brown aka “Scary Spice” revealed during an appearance on “Tamron Hall” that the group is planning a reunion to celebrate their 30 years anniversary.
The “I Want You Back” singer said, “I’m gonna make it happen. It’s my life and I love being a Spice Girl… I mean us five have been talking together, and we are gonna announce something pretty soon. That’s all I can say.”

In 2023, Aerosmith began their farewell tour over five decades after the band formed in Boston. Though the group postponed many of their tour dates after lead singer Steven Tyler damaged his vocal chords, they currently plan to resume shows in 2024. In recent years, the band has dealt with a number of health issues and sexual abuse allegations against Tyler.
Aerosmith | Gems/Redferns
Aerosmith didn’t score their first No. 1 hit until 1998, but they were a successful group for years before this. Their first album had a tepid reception from critics and the general public in 1973, but they became one of the biggest bands in the world by the end of the decade. Fifty years later, the band is still together and planning performances.

Exclusive: Jenny Slate has unveiled Seasoned Professional, a new stand-up special from A24 that’s set to premiere on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide on February 23rd.

With her new special, Slate aims to show that being brave for love is worth it — even when it comes to pushing out a baby, stalking your therapist, or trusting your partner not to destroy you.

“Trolls Band Together” may be a family film, but millennials will be able to instantly recognize the soundtrack’s numerous ’90s pop and rock hits.
Of course, it helps that Justin Timberlake is an executive music producer for the DreamWorks Animation sequel and reprises his role as Branch, a pop troll, from the prior “Trolls” films.
This time around, Timberlake recruited his former Nsync bandmates — Lance Bass, Jc Chasez, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick — to sing “Better Place,” the lead single from the soundtrack. It’s the band’s first song in more than 20 years and charted on Billboard.
Take a listen below:
Nsync also made a cameo at the end of the film as Kismet, the band Branch joined after BroZone disbanded.
Kismet included Ablaze (Joey Fatone), Hype (Jc Chasez), Boom (Lance Bass) and Trickee (Chris Kirkpatrick). The characters even had little nods to their real-life counterparts: Boom has...

Dolly Parton isn’t done rocking yet. After sharing her new album Rockstar last week, our November cover star has returned with two new bonus tracks: Her rendition of the Eddie Money’s “Two Tickets to Paradise,” plus a new version of her classic “Jolene” featuring Måneskin.
The Måneskin-assisted version of “Jolene” is available exclusively with the digital download version of Rockstar on Parton’s website, though the country icon did share a preview of the duet on Instagram. It sounds like the new recording stays fairly faithful to the original, with Måneskin’s Damiano David taking on co-lead vocals with Parton.
“Jolene” appears on the deluxe edition of Rockstar, which also features guest features from Sting, Steve Perry, Joan Jett, Mick Fleetwood, Pat Benatar, Brandi Carlile, and many, many more. See a preview clip of Måneskin’s take on “Jolene” below.

The Trolls are back! Long-lost siblings reunite and troll magic faces a new obstacle in “Trolls Band Together.” Dynamic duo Poppy (Anna Kendrick) and Branch (Justin Timberlake) embark on a new adventure to get Branch’s brothers’ boy band — Brozone — back together to save Floyd (Troye Sivan) from two wannabe superstar singers who secretly leech off of Floyd’s talent.
John Dory (Eric André) catalyzes the reunion of Brozone, who broke up over creative differences when Branch was a baby. The other two brothers — Clay and Spruce — must be tracked down to save Floyd from losing all of his talent to Velvet (Amy Schumer) and Veneer (Andrew Rannells).
An epic soundtrack, complete with a new *Nsync song as well as renditions of old classics and the addition of Camilla Cabello’s voice awaits adventurers ready for “Trolls 3.”

Rockstar, the star-studded rock’n’roll album by our November cover star, Dolly Parton, has arrived. Stream it below.
Inspired by her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022, Rockstar is the 49th full-length release from Parton, and features a variety of new originals and classic rock covers, as well as a heap of guest appearances by artists like Paul McCartney, Elton John, Stevie Nicks, Ringo Starr, Miley Cyrus, Chris Stapleton, Debbie Harry, Nikki Sixx, and many more.
Speaking with Paramore’s Hayley Williams for Consequence’s most recent cover story, Parton explained that when she found out she was voted into the Rock Hall, she “didn’t feel like [she’d] earned it.” To make up for that, she got into the studio and cut a proper rock album, without cutting any corners. “That was important to me: not to half-ass do a record that’s a country girl singing some rock,...

The guys – Justin Timberlake, Chris Kirkpatrick, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, and Jc Chasez – first formed the boy band in 1995 and rose to massive success in 1998 when they dropped their debut American single, “I Want You Back.”
