Biography
Randy Jackson's parents took him to see The Beatles in 1964 and he cites that concert as the event that compelled him to a career in music. His voice covers a range of influences from Jim Morrison to Robert Plant.
In 1977, New Orleans native Jackson with his band Zebra relocated to Long Island where they would launch their recording career. Capacity crowds demanding airplay from radio station WBAB led to a recording deal with Atlantic Records in 1982. Their first record sold 75,000 copies in the first ten days, setting a record as the 'fastest selling debut album' in the history of Atlantic Records. The album went on to sell over 800,000 copies.
The combination of a progressive rock direction and insightful lyrics landed Zebra on Billboard's Top 100 album chart.
Zebra has released four studio albums, the self-titled debut “Zebra,” “No Telling Lies,” “3.5,” and “Zebra IV.” Randy has also recorded several solo CDs, including the Beatles tribute, “Empathy for the Walrus.”
Zebra has toured or performed with Aerosmith, Kiss, Journey, ZZ Top, Loverboy, Cheap Trick and Sammy Hagar.
In 1989, Randy joined the original Jefferson Airplane for their final reunion tour.
Zebra's MTV videos include “Who's Behind the Door,” “Tell Me What You Want,” “Wait Until The Summer's Gone,” “Bears,” and “Can't Live Without.”
For the past 20 years, Randy has performed with orchestras all over the world doing the Music of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and the Doors. These shows have been sell outs in both Denver and Colorado Springs.
