Dominique by those three Singing Nuns

Wasn't it just one Singing Nun? The following confirms that:

Local radio only played the French version, but if I remember
correctly, it's about a war with the Waldensians and I forget who else.
Can anyone remember more and post that hear?

I did remember that she eventually quit the convent, but continued
doing good works. Was sad to read that she committed suicide in 1985.

I don't have the song handy but I'm positive that there were at least
two back up singer singing along. Yeah I heard she commited suicide
which was sad as I always felt that the song was about sadness and
grief.

I thought "Dominique" was really catchy and lively, and that was why it
was a US hit, even though sung in French. I was surprised to read years
later that it was about war, assuming that was correct.

This is to me a song in respond to Eleanor Rigby.

Do you see some relationship between the two songs? "Dominique"
preceded "Eleanor Rigby" by several years.

Thanks for the link.

Glad to help. That site is excellent for finding popular music and
musicians.
