The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

I’m a converted Catholic & my kitten has Dominick who is named after his owner. It’s his favorite song & I play it just before our bedtime. 🙏🙏😼🇩🇪
She was quite a sensation for a short time. I was in Catholic elementary school at the time and all the nuns were excited at her success. Sadly, she met a bad end many years later.
Que le pasoo😮😮!!!??
@@gracielabarrales279 she commited suicide for a lot of financial problems
@@oldaccountws
That's strange. I thought suicide went against the teachings of the Catholic Church, so a nun is the last person I would expect to kill herself.
@@michaelpalmieri7335 she was human before nun
@@oldaccountwsOh! No! 🥺 This is very sad but I understand her pain 😔
This Song came at the Right time when America lost President Kennedy. RIP Singing Nun.
America? Nooooooooooo. The US.
This performance was filmed in Waterloo, Belgium. Jeanine Deckers, known as the Singing Nun, scored a surprise number one hit with the self-penned "Dominique" (number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 7 on the UK Singles chart). In 1959, she had entered the Missionary Dominican Sisters of Our Lady of Fichermont, where she adopted the religious name Sister Luc Gabriel. She began writing and singing songs which were popular with the other nuns and was encouraged to record an album for purchase by visitors at the convent. When the single, "Donimique" became a hit, her album ended up selling almost two million copies. The stage name of Sœur Sourire ("Sister Smile") was then taken, and Jeanine gave live concerts and made this appearance on the Ed Sullivan show. She was so popular that a movie loosely based on her life was made, "The Singing Nun", starring Debbie Reynolds, who also appeared on the Sullivan show promoting the film by singing "It's a Miracle". The real Singing Nun dismissed the film as "fiction".
Sadly, her fame did not lead to riches or happiness, and after a number of failed comebacks and personal hardships, her life ended in tragedy. The details are too complex to go into here, but I would encourage anyone curious to do some research into her interesting but troubled life.
Yes very very complex & TY for not going into it.
Nuns don't have riches.

Majú duchovné bohatstvo, dnes sa necení.
I knew about the song, a little classic of Catholic music, but I didn't know the author's story. Thank you for suggesting reading about her, the story of how things in the world can sadly end up damaging sensitive and noble souls...
@@edufau815 You're welcome! Yes, it's very sad that her life ended up the way it did.
Not Catholic, but as a kid, even I could appreciate her music.
Still beautiful.

"Dominique" was the #1 song for the entire month of December 1963. Both of the next two artists who hit #1 also appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show and performed their songs. Bobby Vinton and "There, I've Said It Again". The Beatles and "I Want to Hold Your Hand".
December 1963. That was a month after the assassination of President Kennedy. (11/22/1963)
Perhaps the reason the Singing Nun's song was so popular after what happened to JFK was because so many people (not just in the United States, but all over the world) were very saddened by the death of one of our best Presidents, which they saw as a symptom of moral decay and a breakdown in law and order in America. Others saw the assassination as part of a Communist plot against the U.S., since the alleged assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was a self-admitted Marxist who admired Fidel Castro, attempted to defect to the Soviet Union (they rejected him), and whose wife was the daughter of an agent in the KGB, Soviet Russia's Secret Police. (Ironically, there has been a lot of speculation that Kennedy was murdered, not by a Communist, but by ANTI-COMMUNIST elements among the Cuban exile communities of America, and/or by rogue elements in the Central Intelligence Agency, or CIA, who didn't approve of Kennedy's plan to dismantle the agency and to establish friendly relations with the Communist countries, including Russia and Cuba, that they saw this as a threat, not just to our "National Security," but to their own personal interests, and that they had Kennedy assassinated and framed Oswald for the crime BECAUSE HE WAS A COMMUNIST)
Thus, many believed that America (and, to some extent, the world) needed a little religion in its soul in order to see it through such hard (and frightening) times.
@@michaelpalmieri7335 Yes. Excellent summation of what was going on during this time.
as a little boy my family didn't have a lot of mon ey so it was a big deal that for Christmas we were going to get a stereo. I came home from school on the last afternoon of school before Christmas and when I came in the door I heard the Singining Nun playing. I feel in love with the lead song because of it's upbeat and easy to sing tune. I listened to it repeatedly that aftertoon and evening til I had it memorize and then sang it to myself til I fell alseep that night.
sweet memory
The French language sounds especially beautiful in her songs.
I loved her LP when I was a little kiddo in the 1960's and memorized all the songs. 😊

Boli to pekné pesničky na tú dobu.
Sally Field couldn't pull this off.
@@mikegee8875 Even Debbie Reynolds couldn't. 😂
Love it.
Ah, the girls at my Catholic grade school class loved this!
I remember her, how could I forget.❤

May God rest both their souls. From Ireland.
I loved listening to her music, and still do ❤
I was 11 and was enchanted by this.
I believe that she was a pioneer in overdubbing with several tracks in her own voice...in this live version she has the other nuns doing the background vocals.... but on the original recorded version it's all her voice on several tracks....
Patti Page overdubbed her voice in the 1950s. I believe she was the first to do this.
@@hnc52 Patti was definitely one of the first, if not the first. Also, Les Paul and Mary Ford used it extensively around the same time, in the early '50's.
Super pesnička to som chodil este len do ZDŠ.
Pozdravujem všetkých zo Slovenska 🇸🇰
This was n still one of my favorites. A beautiful story

When did she die
@@anon2218 Long time ago...
She died in 1985 .Greetings from Belgium
Good singer, composer and guitar player, i'm amazed !
Loved this song 🎵. My baby pony was named after this song.
My mum loves the Brazilian version of song! She used to listen to it as a child in the 60s. I didn't know this lady was the original author of it.
Qual é a versão brasileira? Não conheço!
@@GuilFernandes foia gravada pela cantora Giane. Foi um grande sucesso na época.

This song is so sweet ♥️
Oh gawd..this tune side stepped a popular Rock tune on A.M. radio in the day, I think it was 'Touch me' or 'Hello, I love you' by 'The 'Doors'..incredible by late 60's standards. I remember it so as about a 13 year old.
Well, you're wrong about the dates... Because Dominique came out in 1963 and Touch Me came out in 1968. So I think you're a little Confused about your dates and your radio story .. So were you 13 in 1963 or 1968?😮
@@bebebrez-kal9136 I believe your wrong as being released as a single A.M. radio date even though this tune was used in the early 60's movie 'Lillies of the field' with Sidney Portier. Robert at 68.
Wrong. It was released in 1963. The Doors released Hello in 1968.
The song was "Louie, Louie. Some thought that the words were suggestive. Possibly the reason it was "side=stepped", besides the fact her song was unique and a great voice. The movie was, as she stated, "fiction". She left the order later and tried to make a career with her music, Apparently wrote some controversial tunes that failed. The convent and record company took most of the money. The government demanded taxes from her. It must have been a large amount, because she took her own life, along with her close companion who left a note because she couldn't pay it. Not a normal life, and so so sad an end.
If that's the original nun, she has a very nice voice.
Angels.

Absolutely love!!!
Beautiful.
Holas! Bonitas canciones, grandes recuerdos
De grandes recuerdos
I recall what a big hit "Dominique" was. It was on the radio all the time and was so cool and hip that even lots of non-Catholics, otherwise hostile to that church including my family, liked it. As i recall, my younger sister borrowed the album from her friend and we played it many times and learned some of the songs by heart. Good music 🎼🎵🎶 takes away sectarian hostility! A fictional movie loosely based on this woman was made, was very popular, and naturally most people believed it was accurate. 🙄 Later on, she and another nun apparently fell in love and left the convent. Then she was harassed by the Belgian version of the IRS over a tax issue and i recall a few small news articles about how she was "on the run". Naturally the Church didn't help her with her financial and legal problems, and she met a tragic end.
Rip sister
Jeanne-Paule Marie "Jeannine" Deckers (17 October 1933[1] - 29 March 1985), better known as Sœur Sourire (French for 'Smiling Sister') and often called The Singing Nun in English-speaking countries, was a Belgian singer-songwriter and a member of the Dominican Order in Belgium as Sister Luc Gabriel. She acquired widespread fame in 1963 with the release of the Belgian French song "Dominique", which topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and other charts, along with her debut album. Owing to confusion over the terms of the recording contract, she was reduced to poverty, and also experienced a crisis of faith, quitting the order, though still remaining a Catholic. She died by suicide with her lifelong partner, Annie Pécher.
This is the exact show that Winona Ryder and Christina Ricci were watching in the beginning of the movie, Mermaids.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
The Beginning of this was Featured in The Film Mermaids, So I would have to presume that it was 1963, as Mermaids takes Place in 1963 and 1964.

Sr. Luc-Gabrielle was being snide in the Mother General's direction when she came up with "Dominique".
The Vatican is probably still raking money in from this song.
So Philips Records took 95% of the proceeds from the recording and her convent took the rest. Then the tax authorities wanted her to pay taxes on monies she never received. In the end the monastery gave her some money but Phillips gave her nothing. She ended up destitute and committed suicide a couple years later. Great job Philips/Universal music!

It's beautiful to be Catholic. 🤍
Well yes and no. You have that phoney suplimented book the Macabies which is nothing of the completed Bible. Just another 'Book of Morman' to 'complete' the Bible. Hope you see the light. Robert at 69.

Too bad for the last years of her life. Very sad.
ALWAYS changed the radio dial when this came on.
And yet you're on here watching it. Right.
@@60Cascade WRONG!!, ..I'm on here to voice my opinion (i already know the song)... I guess you're against that too. LOL. I always hated that song when it came out and in a previous comment i mentioned I always changed the station when it came on maybe hoping Surfin Bird by the Trashmen was on one of our other ROCK and ROLL stations.I respect that you like it, that's what matters.
@@recordguy4321 Okay. And I respect that you like Surfin Bird.
The lesbian nuns who committed suicide.....how very tragic and says so much about their wonderful religion,lol.
She denied lesbianism until the end.
Religion has nothing to do with her choice. The habit you have of wanting to find someone to blame for people's choices.
Loathed it then. Loathed it now.
Then why are you watching?
And just had to share that.
Why do you "loathe" the song?
Ooookaaaaay.

She doesn't look like Debbie Reynolds that's for sure😢
