This day in music history.

March 31, 1985, Jeanine Deckers, better known as The Singing Nun, died after taking a overdose of sleeping pills in a suicide pact with Annie Pescher. Her biggest hit was "Dominique" in 1963. Deckers had given all proceeds from her music to her convent. Together Jeanine and Annie founded a school for children who suffered from the disability of autism. They killed themselves after the Belgian government said that the Singing Nun owed over $60,000 in back taxes, the demand put their school in jeopardy.
Dominique by The Singing Nun
Dominique, nique, nique,
over the land he plods And sings a little song Never asking for reward
He just talks about the Lord He just talks about the Lord
At a time when Johnny Lackland Over England was the King
Dominique was in the backland Fighting sin like anything
Now a heretic, one day Among the thorns forced him to crawl
Dominique with just one prayer Made him hear the good Lord's call
Without horse or fancy wagon He crossed Europe up and down
Poverty was his companion As he walked from town to town
To bring back the straying liars And the lost sheep to the fold
He brought forth the Preaching Friars Heaven's soldier's, brave and bold
One day, in the budding Order There was nothing left to eat
Suddenly two angels walked in With a loaf of bread and meat
Dominique once, in his slumber Saw the Virgin's coat unfurled
Over Frairs without number Preaching all around the world
Grant us now, oh Dominique The grace of love and simple mirth
That we all may help to quicken Godly life and truth on earth
