"They touched everyone they knew and those of us they’ve left behind will be lucky and honored to carry their memories forward," said Simon.
Simon's music career actually began with her second-oldest sister. She and Lucy performed as the Simon Sisters from 1963 until Lucy went her own way after three album releases. Simon kick-started her iconic solo career with her debut album in 1971, while Lucy went on to achieve Grammys for her children's recordings"In Harmony" and"In Harmony 2," as well as a Tony for"The Secret Garden" musical.
Joanna's musical pursuits were as a mezzo-soprano opera singer, where she found tremendous success from 1962 though the 1990s. She transitioned to television journalism in the mid-1980s, picking up an Emmy for her work on the"Macneil-Leher News Hour."
