Steven Pasquale and Sierra Boggess were among the Broadway stars mourning Simon's passing. “Her music is her gift to the world. In one of her last messages to me she said ‘I was going to ask you to carry my voice onward’ and I sat and wept,”Simon was born in New York on May 5, 1940, to publishing giant Richard Simon and his wife, Andrea. She was the second oldest of four children Joanna, Lucy, Carly and Peter.
After marrying and having children, Lucy Simon recorded two solo albums, “Lucy Simon” and “Stolen Time” , for RCA. Lucy and her husband, David Levine, produced two Grammy-winning children’s albums, “In Harmony” and “In Harmony 2" .
