Tito has 2 solo blues/R&B albums. He didn't do many leads on The Jacksons records, but a few songs he did are "We Can Change The World", "Art Of Madness", & "2300 Jackson Street". The last song has leads by all of the siblings except LaToya. But Marlon does not appear in the music video though. On the Jackson 5 era stuff, if you hear a bass like voice then that's Tito too, he said he was told to do that by the producers at Motown. Tito's singing voice isn't really a bass voice, but his talking voice is kinda low, more than the other Jackson siblings.

The City of New Orleans did a 2nd Line parade for Frankie Beverly that brought over 100,000 people into the streets last week. Philly had tribute Block Parties all over the city in honor of Frankie, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston all threw block parties, or parades honoring Frankie. Frankie Beverly and Maze's music anchored almost every Black family Cookout in America over the last 45 years. He and the band were considered Family to all of us. Even though they were snubbed by the Grammy, and American Music Award people their entire career, they deserve to be put into the Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame for their impact on Black America.

Jay hit it on the head. Maze was one of the great live bands of the last 50 years. The next track you react to from them should definitely be a live version. They have two great live albums, but Live from New Orleans is neck and neck with Earth Wind & Fire's Gratitude as the best live R&B album ever for my money.
