 Becker and Fagen asked Randall to become a permanent member of Steely Dan, but Randall politely declined, as he felt that the band's dynamics would make the band dissolve after the third album—which happened.Later, Randall played with Steely Dan on their fourth and fifth albums, "Katy Lied" (1975) and "The Royal Scam" (1976).In 1980, John Belushi asked Randall to be musical director for The Blues Brothers, a position he also turned down.
