Jon B. Higgins

Putting Carnatic vocalists in alphabetical purchase leads to a quirk of fate. Jon Higgins (1939-1984) was a unique character. Unlike many Westerners who dabble in the music of additional ethnicities, he immersed himself in Carnatic music towards the level that he could win a popularity being a Carnatic vocalist. His abilities and achievements had been enough to put him on the same footing with Indian-born music artists. He also was an educational and held different posts. Higgins’ function is certainly testimony to his function as bridge constructor between two civilizations.
