He was just 10 years old when he was found playing his father's guitar and broke a string. Joe fixed the string, then demanded that Tito play more for him. What Tito showed him that day impressed Joe so much, who had a background performing in an R&B group, that he bought Tito his own guitar, and brought Jackie, and Jermaine into the mix to start the band.
