It was a difficult task to replace a someone as highly regarded as Mark Andes, but Randall was a huge success and remained with the band until it folded.
His bass-playing was a complete departure from Andes's heavy drive.
His jetglo Rickenbacker 4001 produced a brighter sound with more complicated basslines.
Big of stature, his presence dominated the stage visually as well as musically.
Jimmie Randall now plays with fellow Jo Jo Gunne member John Staehely in The Dead Pyrates Society.
