The Singing Nun, born Jeanine Deckers in Belgium in 1933, was a Dominican nun who achieved international fame in the 1960s. Her sound was a unique blend of folk, pop, and religious music, with her acoustic guitar playing and soft, delicate vocals defining her distinctive style. Deckers is best known for her global hit "Dominique," which topped the charts in several countries and remains a significant contribution to 1960s pop culture. Despite her brief music career, The Singing Nun's unique melding of religious themes with mainstream music made a lasting impact.
