He was part of the Jacksons' 2001 reunion at Madison Square Garden, but did not appear as an official cast member in their 2009 A&E reality series The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty. He was left out when the Jackson 5 were inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 only the five original members were inducted. Jackson, along with brothers Jackie, Tito, Marlon, and his sister La Toya joined USA For Africa to sing in " We Are The World", which was led by Jackson’s brother Michael, Lionel Richie, Quincy Jones, and Harry Belafonte. After the Victory Tour, Jackson worked with Lionel Richie on his album Dancing On The Ceiling in 1985. He participated in the Jacksons' Destiny World Tour from 1979 to 1980, the Triumph Tour in 1981, Victory Tour in 1984, and the band's later projects. In addition to singing and playing on the Jacksons' recordings, he worked with Michael on his album Off the Wall. Jackson plays congas, percussion, keyboards, piano, bass, and guitar, among other instruments. The cover headline read: "Randy Jackson Walks Again: Talks About His Future." In June 1980, he appeared on the cover of the weekly African-American newsmagazine Jet. On March 3, 1980, Jackson was seriously injured in a car crash in Hollywood, California.
At age 16, he co-wrote the Jacksons' most successful single on Epic, " Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)" with Michael. The Jackson 5 officially changed their name to the Jacksons when they signed with Epic in part because Motown owned the name "Jackson 5". Although he was on every Jackson 5 tour since 1972, mainly playing the congas among other instruments, Randy did not officially join the family band until 1975 when they left Motown for CBS Records and older brother Jermaine chose to stay with Motown, prompting Randy to replace him. Randy was not an original member of the Jackson 5, first appearing live with his brothers in 1971 at a Christmas show the Jackson 5 held for blind children.
