This double CD features 47 songs by the Belgian nun Sœur Sourire (English: “Sister Smile”), whose real name was Jeanne-Paule Marie Deckers. In 1959, she joined the Dominican Sisters, where her guitar was one of her few personal possessions. With the permission of her mother superior, her composition “Dominique” was released under the pseudonym “Sœur Sourire” (known in English-speaking countries as “The Singing Nun”). The song reached No. 1 on the charts in many countries; in the U.S., it even remained at the top for four weeks.
