| Randy Jackson's Hit List |
Randy Jackson was born on June 23, 1956, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He is a former record company executive who joins Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul on the panel of judges for the television talent contest American Idol. Jackson is a music industry insider who has been in the business since the early 1980s, as a performer, producer and businessman. He was a temporary bass player for Journey in 1983 and 1986, and he spent many years as an executive with Columbia Records and MCA Records. Since 2002, Jackson has been on American Idol, where he is famous for peppering his pronouncements with the slang term "dawg." In 2003, he had gastric bypass surgery, and by the beginning of the show's 2004 season he had lost more than 100 pounds. |
