Lucy Simon, who passed in late 2022 from metastatic breast cancer, began performing with her sister Carly Simon as The Simon Sisters. The duo released three albums, beginning with Meet the Simon Sisters, which featured the song "Winkin', Blinkin' and Nod"; based on the poem by Eugene Field, the song became a minor hit and reached No. 73 on the Billboard Hot 100. Simon won a Grammy Award in 1981 with her husband, David Levine, in the Best Recording for Children category for In Harmony, and again in 1983 in the same category for In Harmony 2. Simon received Tony Award and Drama Desk Award nominations for composing the music for the Broadway musical The Secret Garden, and at the time was only the third woman to compose for the Broadway stage. Simon also composed songs for Off-Broadway's A…My Name is Alice, as well as Broadway's Dr. Zhivago. Tickets are $50, and on sale now by visiting Joe's Pub.
