and Michael Kamen
and in 1963, as a sixteen-year-old, Randall met Richie Havens
in Greenwich Village
and began gigging. Randall did some early work behind The Capris
and The Ronnettes and by 1964 was recording "small-time" demos. Between 1966 and 1967 he was a music teacher in Ohio. Upon his return to New York, he began working as a staff musician for the Musicor
record company. He began recording with some friends around 1968, including Tim Rose
and demo recordings with Donald Fagen
and Walter Becker
, who at the time were with Jay and the Americans
. In 1969 he joined the band Seatrain
, opting for that band rather than joining Wilson Pickett
in Muscle Shoals
. In 1970, Randall was signed to the Robert Stigwood Organization
, which managed Cream
, The Bee Gees, John Mayall
, and The Staples Singers. He formed a band called Randall's Island, who recorded a few albums on Polydor. In 1972 The Stigwood Organization bought the rights to Jesus Christ Superstar
and produced the show on Broadway, and hired Randall's band to perform the music. It was there that Randall met guitarist Vinnie Bell
, who was experimenting with various electronic effects. Randall began to dabble in electronics as well, and whenever Bell was unable to make a gig, he recommended Randall.
In 1972 Randall left New York for California in the hopes of doing something bigger. It was then that he reunited with Becker and Fagen, as well as childhood friend Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter, and recorded the first Steely Dan album, Can't Buy a Thrill
. Randall's guitar work on "Reelin' in the Years" became popular as the song headed up the charts, and soon, as the solo gained fame and respect, Randall began getting calls from other artists.
Randall had a history of turning down permanent gigs, instead favoring being a session musician. Becker and Fagen asked Randall to become a permanent member of Steely Dan but Randall politely declined, as he felt that the band's dynamics would cause a dissolution of the band after the third album, which ultimately happened. Randall later played with Steely Dan on their fourth and fifth albums, Katy Lied
and The Royal Scam
. In 1980, Randall was approached by John Belushi
and asked to be the musical director for The Blues Brothers
, a position which he also turned down. Jeff Porcaro

, which he rejected.

". He states, "That was my '63 Fender Stratocaster with a PAF humbucker in the neck position, straight into an Ampeg SVT
bass amp. The SVT wouldn't have been my first choice for an amp--or even my fifth choice--but it worked a storm on that recording!"
