Dominique

Dominique is a 1963 French-language popular song, written and performed by Belgian singer Jeanne-Paule Marie Deckers, better known as "Sœur Sourire" or "The Singing Nun". The song is about Saint Dominic, a Spanish-born religious priest and founder of the Order of Preachers, of which Deckers was a member. The English-version lyrics of the song were written by Noël Regney. In addition to French and English, Deckers recorded versions in Dutch, German, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, and Portuguese. It was a top selling record in 11 countries in late 1963 and early 1964.
