Following the release of his latest single “Time 4 Us,” WDET’s Soul Saturday sat down with Randolph to discuss all things music — including one of the greatest lessons he ever learned as a bass player, releasing new music and why Slave’s “Just a Touch of Love” is one of his favorite bass lines of all time.
