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.

Some Guys Have All The Luck
Junior Tucker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys do nothing but complain
Alone in a crowd on a bus after working, I'm dreaming
The guy next to me has a girl in his arms, my arms are empty
How does it feel when the girl next to you says she loves you?
Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys do nothing but complain
Woo woo woo
Woo woo woo
Someone to take on a walk by the lake Lord, let it be me
Someone who's shy, someone who'd cry at sad movies
I know I would die if I ever found out she was foolin' me
You're just a dream, and as real as it seems, I ain't that lucky
Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys do nothing but complain
All of my friends have a ring on their finger, they have someone
Someone to care for them, it ain't fair, I got no one
The car overheated, I called up and pleaded, there's help on the way
I called you collect, you didn't accept, you had nothing to say
Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys do nothing but complain
But if you were here with me
I'd feel so happy, I could cry
You are so dear to me
I just can't let you say goodbye
Woo woo woo. Woo woo woo
Woo woo woo. Woo woo woo
Woo woo woo. Woo woo woo
Woo woo woo. Woo woo woo
Woo woo woo. Woo woo woo
Woo woo woo. Woo woo woo
Woo woo woo. Woo woo woo
The song "Some Guys Have All The Luck" by Junior Tucker is about a man who feels unlucky in love. He sees other guys around him who seem to have everything going for them in the love department while he remains alone and unloved. The lyrics express his longing for someone to love and to be loved by, but it seems that fate is against him. He is envious of the love that other guys have and wonders why he can't have the same.
The song talks about the unfairness of life and how some people seem to have it all while others struggle. The image of the singer alone on a crowded bus while the guy next to him cuddles with his girl reinforces the theme of loneliness and longing. He dreams of finding someone to share his life with, someone he can take on a walk by the lake or watch sad movies with. However, he fears that if he ever finds someone, she might not be true to him, leaving him even more brokenhearted.
The chorus repeats over and over again, emphasizing the contrast between those who have luck and those who don't. The singer's friends are all married or in relationships, but he is still searching. The final lines suggest that there might be someone out there for him, someone he cares deeply for, but he fears losing her. The song is a poignant reminder that love is not easy to find, and sometimes even when we do find it, we still feel unlucky.
