IMW Guitar Teacher Randy is a wealth of information when it comes to soul session men, coming up as he did on Chicago's southside during the 60's and 70's. Just the other day we were discussing Michael, and how Randy used to go see the Jackson 5 when he was young. The shows were frequent,as the band lived just over the state line in Gary, and they were always matinees due to the band's age. Just imagine wandering into a matinee at Noon on a weekday to see the Jackson 5 on stage!

We got to talking about the Jackson 5 session musicians and Randy brought up guitarist David T. Walker, who played on many of the early singles, including 'I Want You Back".
He also played on Stevie Wonder's Innervisions, Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On and countless others. He released 12 albums under his own name, available now only on japanese import.

Here's funky jazz instrumental "doo doo" from the 1970 album Plum Happy.
