If it wasn't for Tito Jackson's interest in the guitar, there may have been no Jackson Five.  Tito's dad, Joe, owned a guitar.  While Joe was away at work, Tito taught himself to play it while his brothers danced and sang.  Tito hid his talent from his dad until he broke a guitar string.  At first, his dad was mad.  But then he saw Tito's potential and encouraged him to get together with his brothers, Jackie and Jermaine to form The Jackson Brothers.  Eventually his younger brothers, Michael and Marlon joined to make The Jackson Five. 

Today (10/15) is Tito's birthday, as it is for the singer of "Don't Pay the Ferryman" and "Lady in Red," Chris DeBurgh.  So, who's older?
