though I knew Randy played and sang in a high school band I didn't know much more than that so these videos are new to me and perhaps others may not be aware they exist as well.

Drivin' Dynamics
You Send Me

Kansas City

Hurt Me

Drivin' Dynamics
The One You Love

Appears this band has been around awhile since Randy played with them in high school. Wonder what year this was recorded? It sounds pretty good!

Thanks for these Dawn. "You Send Me" with Randy on lead was recorded on a 4-song EP which was released in late 1962. It was Randy's (and the band's) first professional recording. He was 16. Only 500 copies were made so the original EP is super-rare.

I adore this cover of "Kansas City" with Randy singing lead. Another founding member, Larry Soto, sings lead on "Hurt Me."

Bobby Soto, who joined the band in 1963, is singing lead on the "The One You Love" cover. I'm not sure when it was recorded. Sadly he died in 2000, just a couple of weeks after the band was inducted into the Nebraska Music Hall of Fame.

Many thanks Delilah, I appreciate the clarification and your kind assistance in answering my question very much!

And yes, Randy's cover of Kansas City is awesome, what a treat it's available online I just love it too!

Edited to add:

Sad news about Bobby Soto, I think he sounded great on The One You Love.

I found some more obscure videos of Randy recently on YouTube showing him with some old musical pals this year. He seems upbeat in this one https://youtu.be/Ra457w6m2YE with Mitch Delevie in this other one Randy doesn't say much, is just focused on listening to rusty young play https://youtu.be/OnP0Zv8ip_k as far as I can tell these videos haven't been posted. At least not on this thread. Randy looks a little worse for wear but at least he seems involved in music still and is with his friends

Anyone want to learn a line dance routine to Randy’s “Save the Last Dance for Me”? These gals made one up—it could make for nice morning exercise with the bonus of hearing Randy’s terrific voice.

That's so sweet! Thank you for finding that, D. I see they're from Malaysia. Isn't it amazing how music goes all around the world, to every corner.

I'm not very coordinated, but maybe if I practice and practice... nah, still couldn't do it.

I think we posted the Rusty Young video in the "Recent Randy sightings" thread. The Mitchel Delevie video first appeared one day in January 2016 but then was taken down within hours and wasn't seen again until this year. Don't ask because no one knows. Or rather anyone who knows isn't talking.

Randy has been playing bass and recording with some friends in Los Angeles. It's not publically known if the music will be released or if it's just a fun project among friends.

NMB, I know Randy was playing with friends a few months ago, do you know if he still is currently? That would be awesome if they do release the music, I would love to hear it.

I am so thankful for all of Randy's work over the years. He is truly one of the best bass guitarists and singers of his (all) time ... not to mention his kind, generous, peace loving personality making him a joy to know and work with. Randy loved Rick Nelson and that does not surprise me. Rick was a very talented all around good guy and I think some of his happiest times were playing with Rick.
