Jeanine Deckers (17 October 1933 — 29 March 1985), better known as Sœur Sourire ("Sister Smile", often credited as The Singing Nun in English-speaking countries), was a Belgian singer-songwriter and initially a member of the Dominican Order in Belgium as Sister Luc-Gabrielle. She acquired world fame in 1963 with the release of the French-language song "Dominique", which topped the U.S. Billboard and other charts. While in the convent, Deckers wrote, sang and performed her own songs, which were so well received by her fellow Sisters and by visitors, that her religious superiors encouraged her to record an album, which visitors and retreatants at the convent would be able to purchase. In 1961, the album was recorded in Brussels at Philips. The single "Dominique" became an international hit, and in 1962 her album sold nearly 2 million copies. Overnight, the Dominican Sister was an international celebrity, with the stage name of Sœur Sourire (Sister Smile). She gave concerts and appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show on 5 January 1964. "Dominique" was the first Belgian song to be a number one hit single in the United States. Deckers found it difficult having to live up her to her publicity as "a true girl scout", always happy and in a good mood. "I was never allowed to be depressed", Deckers remembered in 1979. "The mother superior used to censor my songs and take out any verses I wrote when I was feeling sad." In 1963 she was sent by her order to take theology courses at the University of Louvain. She liked the student life, if not her courses. She reconnected with a friend from her youth, Annie Pécher, with whom she slowly developed a very close relationship.
