The Singing Nun on This Day in History

 

This Day In History: The Singing Nun (Jeanne-Paule Marie Deckers) was born on this day in 1933. She had a big hit in 1963 with "Dominique" which sold millions of copies. The Singing Nun was screwed over for the money and in time committed suicide. 

In 1973, another nun, Sister Janet Mead, released a rock version of The Lord's Prayer which also sold millions of copies. She also had a bad experience with the recording industry so she withdrew from the public eye. Mead died of cancer this past January.

The entertainment industry is cruel and unforgiving and filled with broken and ugly souls. This is why so many in the industry cling to causes as if they were indulgences, in order to absolve themselves of the callous business practices they engage in.
