RANDY JACOBS, Guitar
Incredibly working professionally at the age of 13, Randy Jacobs began as a guitar prodigy who early on lent his talents to Detroit songwriters such as Sylvia Moy (“Ma Cherie Amour”) and Barrett Strong (“Money”).
He developed a proprietary “non-plectrum” guitar style, working with Michael Henderson (Miles Davis’ bassist/singer) right out of high school.
He soon wrote R&B Top 5 hit “Wide Receiver,” and wrote the hit “Walk the Dinosaur,” when he joined the band Was (Not Was).
