Sailing To Success Randy had been composing and arranging music since the dawn of rock ' roll (The Fleetwoods recorded one of his songs in 1962). Musicians in the know loved Randy and his songs (see the list of covers below, particularly Harry Nilsson). But he just couldn't break into the best-seller list. This album wasn't a giant leap up the charts (topping out at #163), but opened many more doors for him. His uniquely satirically songs touched the FM crowd and from this album on, his success was established. |
