Randy Jackson, 52, has been a judge since 2002 on the popular Fox Network reality show American Idol. Prior to that he spent 12 years heading up ‘artists and repertoire’ at Columbia Records and MCA Records. On AI last night, Ryan Seacrest opened the show with vintage footage of Jackson performing with the rock band Journey.

Jackson was a member of the group from 1986-1987 and traveled the country promoting their Raised On Radio album with a coast-to-coast tour. Group members at that time included Steve Perry, Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain, Mike Baird and Jackson.
