3T Interview One
Article Headline: The Jackson Three
Article Date: November 27, 1995 Vol. 44 No. 22

FOR TAJ, TARYLL AND T.J. JACKSON, childhood didn’t play itself out like a scene from Valley of the Hollywood Brats. Far from it. Tito Jackson’s sons, whose circle of famed relatives includes Uncle Michael and Aunt Janet, say they enjoyed a downright normal upbringing. “Our parents were strict when they needed to be, and they trusted us,” Taj (born Tariano) says of Tito and Delores Martes Jackson, who divorced in 1993 after 21 years of marriage. “My mom made sure that we had a real childhood, with birthday parties, baseball, family outings, all that stuff.”
Thus grounded, the “three T’s,” as their mother fondly called her sons, were preparing to launch their own singing group, 3T, last year when their family was struck by tragedy. On Aug. 27, 1994, between recording sessions for their debut album, Brotherhood, Taj, now 22, Taryll, 20, and TJ. (Tito Joseph), 17, received a predawn phone call from the daughter of their mother’s boyfriend who said Delores had been in an accident. Hoping she wasn’t seriously injured, the boys arrived at the Daniel Freeman Memorial Hospital in Inglewood, Calif., and asked her doctor how she was doing. “She’s dead,” he replied tersely.
Shocked and grief-stricken, the brothers at first did not contest preliminary findings that their mother’s death was accidental. The boyfriend, L.A. businessman Donald Bohana, 59, told police that he and Delores, 39, had been swimming that night at his house in Ladera Heights. After going into the house briefly, Bohana told investigators, he returned to find Delores’s body at the bottom of the pool. But three months later her sons’ growing suspicions about the circumstances of her death—their mother, they knew, could not swim—were confirmed when the L.A. County district attorney’s office reopened the case following a coroner’s report that numerous contusions, lacerations and abrasions found on her body suggested she was the victim of a “non-accidental…assisted drowning.”

In the mid 1990s, while working as an image consultant for Donna Karan, Shiseido and other brands in need of a tune-up, Zaldy, dressed in drag, shot a racy Levi’s television commercial. It was banned in America and shown only late at night in the UK. With star turns on the catwalk for Thierry Mugler and Jean Paul Gaultier around the same time, Zaldy found himself flirting with serious fame – movie roles and the rest of it. But in the end, he withdrew, saying, “I only wanted to make clothes. That was my passion. I didn’t feel like dressing up any more.”

Once again, Michael Jackson opened the VMAs. He whipped out a medley of hits “Billie Jean,” “Beat It,” “Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough” and “Black or White.” On the first song, Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash surprised the crowd when he joined Michael onstage to lay down a few smokin’ riffs. Not content with performing a medley of so many hits, Jackson also laid out full versions of “Dangerous” and “You Are Not Alone.” Not a bad way to kick off the show.
Michael was also a winner that night, sharing three Moonmen with his sister, Janet Jackson. The superstar sibling pair’s “Scream” netted the Best Dance Video, Best Art Direction and Best Choreography awards.

Singer Michael Jackson recorded the song for his 1995 double album HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I.

It was planned to be released as the eighth single from the album in 1997 but was cancelled days before its release date. Only a few copies from the Netherlands, Germany and South Africa (where the record distribution was started previous to the withdrawal) were saved as the other copies were withdrawn. The rarest pressings include the CD maxi single (estimated value over €500) and the single track promo.
The remixes on this release have never been released commercially since, but some can also be found on the “Is It Scary” promotional 12″ records from the UK. The “Downtempo Groove Mix” is the rarest mix of this song because it was only released on the maxi. The remix was uncredited, but was actually done by Eddie Arroyo.
