Beloved musician and music producer.
A singer who had perfect pitch, music was Lucien Sr.'s life. He sang on street corners as a doo-wop singer, eventually with Frankie Lymon before becoming one of Frankie's backup singers when he needed a substitute. He also coached and inspired many young musicians from those who would go on to great success from relatives, to friends, and strangers on the street . He trained his three sons, Bowlegged Lou, Paul Anthony and B-Fine (Brian), how to sing before they became the successful R&B and hip-hop group Full Force, which he founded. James Brown nicknamed Lucien Sr. "Papa Force." A member of local 119B for over 35 years, he worked as a union printer, in addition to his work as a musician. He was also a member of the Church of the Living Hope for several years.
Lucien Sr. had a great deal of love for humanity. His kindness, gentleness, generosity, beautiful voice, sense of humor, wisdom, fairness, empathy, loyalty, quietness, infectious smile, and silent warrior qualities will be greatly missed.
He also loved dogs, and his dog Frederick Douglass misses him!
