It is ironic that he died on a Monday. His solo hit, from 1975, was This Monday Morning Feeling.

I checked this out as I didn't recognise the song title (nor the version) but it's sung by a different 'Tito'...Jamaican Reggae singer Tito Simon.

Whoops.  I even listened to it that evening in tribute.

Never mind, it was the right sentiment and I bow to your knowledge of 1970s Top 40 hits.

Personally, I remember Tito as one of a band of older brothers led by Michael as the Jackson 5. I think their show was shown on ITV on a Sunday lunchtime? Goodness, this was so much better than their rivals from Utah (The Osmonds).
