Official Bio
Only God can get the credit for all that has taken place in the extraordinary life of Junior Tucker.
Born in Kingston, Jamaica, he began singing at the age of 5. At age 7 he became a household name in his country performing his first #1 song “Happy†and also began traveling internationally. Without a shadow of doubt everyone knew being on stage was what he was born to do.
With tremendous success, he navigated his way through three international recording contracts which have literally taken him across the world. He has toured throughout the United States, UK, Japan, Mexico and the Caribbean. At 12 years he was signed to Island Records and at 14 he had a recording contract with Geffen Records USA. At 23 he signed to Virgin Records UK. In 1991 Junior was released from Virgin and returned to his roots to pursue a career in Jamaican Dancehall Music.
Dancehall brought its accolades, number one songs, singer of the year titles and a high profile lifestyle. As time progressed his life became far from “Happyâ€. Despite so called fortune and fame, behind the scenes his life was in pieces, spent chasing the next hit song to stay on top and fill the void in his life.
The death of his father and the birth of his first child; lead to a period of searching for answers to a deeper meaning to life. He investigated various religions but still no answers. He penned songs like “I pray†and “Praise His Nameâ€, having no true knowledge of the God he was singing about. Bombarded by religion, a distorted childhood and being plagued by nightmares, he cried out one night “God if you are real, allow me to sleep?†God answered, he slept as never before. He woke up completely delivered, knowing that he was a Christian. He publicly confessed Jesus at his Lord and Savior that week at a gospel concert in Kingston and soon after was baptized.
It has been 9 years and he has never returned his secular career. He states, “There is nothing to go back toâ€. Coming into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ has brought clarity to his once hazed purpose and destiny. To his life God has given direction, and to his gift God has given purpose.
Junior, his wife Trudy and there 3 girls, Chyna, Zoe and Paige now reside in Clewiston, Florida. For the past 5 years he has submitted his life to his pastors, Pastors Chuck and Karen Pelham and his bishops, Bishops Tony and Kathy Miller, whom God has used to mold and shape first the man and then his ministry.
Through Junior Tucker Ministries, Junior not only sings but preaches the Gospel and conducts praise and worship workshops. God has taken him back to many of the nations where he performed as a secular artiste to now win souls for the Kingdom. God has even given him new territories to take the gospel and to set the captives free.
His fourth Reggae Gospel Album titled “Victory – Worship from the Islands II†is definitely a reflection of his growth and maturity in Christ. Not only are there great foot stomping beats but also powerful praise and worship songs designed to usher in the presence of the Lord.

Junior Tucker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be lived with you
Lived with you
There's a way everybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring
You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you
In my brain
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
And I'm blind, so, so, so blind
I'm a man
Can't you see what I am?
I live and I breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I ain't got you, ain't got?
You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you
You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you
You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
The lyrics of Junior Tucker's Love Somebody convey the intense, passionate and longing feeling of being in love with someone. The singer talks about a particular kind of light that he has never experienced before, which is the light of being in love with someone. He wishes to share and live his life with the person he loves. The singer also talks about the various things that people say to do, but in the absence of love, they are of no use to him. The intensity of his love is so great that he feels like the other person cannot truly understand or fathom what it is like to love someone the way he loves the other person.
In the second verse, the singer mentions his frame of mind and the fact that the person he loves cannot see what he sees. He continues to express his frustration of being blinded by love and being unable to express fully to the recipient of his love. He declares that everything he does and every breath he takes is for his love, but he laments that it is pointless in the absence of the other person reciprocating the same feeling.
Overall, the song is a poignant and emotive declaration of love, filled with intensity and longing, which reflects the deep passion that the singer feels towards the person he loves.
Line by Line Meaning
There's a light
There's a type of hope that I've never known before
A certain kind of light
This hope is unique and special
That never shone on me
I've never experienced this type of hope before
I want my life to be lived with you
I want to spend my life with you
Lived with you
I want to share my life with you
There's a way everybody say
There's a conventional way of doing things
To do each and every little thing
To approach every situation with a specific plan
But what does it bring
But what is the result?
If I ain't got you, ain't got?
If I don't have you, what's the point?
You don't know what it's like, baby
You can't understand how I feel, my love
To love somebody
To have deep feelings for someone
To love somebody
To care for someone very deeply
The way I love you
As much as I love you
In my brain
In my mind
I see your face again
I am reminded of your face
I know my frame of mind
I am aware of my thoughts and feelings
You ain't got to be so blind
You don't have to ignore my feelings
And I'm blind, so, so, so blind
And I am unable to see anything else
I'm a man
I am a human being
Can't you see what I am?
Can't you see how I feel?
I live and I breathe for you
You are my everything
But what good does it do
But what is the point of it all?
