2. Randy Jackson
Being the second youngest of the Jacksons, Randy never played a huge part in the first incarnation of his brothers' band. This did not stop Randy from attempting a solo career with trippy promo single, 'How Can I Be Sure' in 1978, which made no impact on the charts. This was not followed by any other significant releases until the first album from Randy's short-lived band, Randy & the Gypsys in 1989. Randy's low-profile meant that like his first single, the band's album failed to chart - despite some moderately enjoyable tracks. Standouts from the album include 'Love You Honey' and
'Perpetrators', however, despite being pleasant enough - pale in comparison to most of Jermaine, Jackie and Marlon's solo releases. Randy is not taking part in The Jacksons 2013 Unity Tour, seeking a quieter life out of the spotlight.
