Lucien Leopold Harrigan, professionally known as Jon Lucien was born on January 8, 1942 in Tortola in the British Virgin Islands but was raised in St. Thomas. His father was a musician whose main instrument was a three-coursed Latin guitar-like chordophone known as a Tres. As a teenager, he played bass in his father’s band.

During the 1960s he moved to New York City and while performing at a party, he was discovered by an executive from RCA. He released his debut album (I Am Now in 1970 with a mix of pop and jazz standards. His sophomore album, Rashida, contained only songs written by Lucien, with Lady Love receiving radio airplay, and Dave Grusin receiving a Grammy Award nomination for his arrangements. He went on to record two albums for Columbia and made guest appearances on Yesterday’s Dreams by Alphonso Johnson and Mr. Gone by Weather Report.

After his daughter drowned in 1980 Jon spent much of the decade struggling with drug addiction. He returned to music in the Nineties with the albums Listen Love and Mother Nature’s Son. When a second daughter died tragically in the crash of TWA Flight 800, Lucien dedicated his album Endless Love to her.

Vocalist and composer Jon Lucien transitioned from respiratory failure in Orlando, Florida on August 18, 2007.
