Archive material and source history

Jeanine Deckers was a Belgian nun who recorded as The Singing Nun. In 1963, she had an international hit with 'Dominique,' a simple, catchy song that became unexpectedly popular. She recorded several albums in the mid-1960s, including 'The Singing Nun at Carnegie Hall.'

Her success created some tension with religious authorities who questioned whether a nun should have a recording career. Deckers saw her music as a form of worship and used her platform to talk about peace. She performed with other nuns from her convent, though she was essentially a solo artist.

After the late 1960s, her popularity faded. She struggled with depression and financial problems in later years. The song 'Dominique' remains her best-known work, along with tracks like 'A Flower' and 'All the Roads.'
