Tito...we all ...want you back! :(
He is the brother on the viewer's left with the guitar ... helping to back up little Micheal.

Not sure which of the four older brothers, but I am 90 percent sure that Tito is the deeper voice that comes in to back up little Micheal on this...in my humble opinion ... one of the most well constructed pieces of music ever put on wax.
