During a 2016 interview with VladTV, Tito Jackson revealed that the Jackson 5 originally started off with just himself, Jermaine, and Jackie. However, after hearing a five-year-old Michael Jackson sing, they immediately included him in the group. Marlon also joined the group shortly afterward. Tito also explained how his dad started coaching them after finding out that Tito had been playing his guitar while he was at work. Later in the clip, Tito commented on the accuracy of the television film "The Jacksons: An American Dream."
