- 1:44topics discussed on the portal. I'm with the
- 1:47journalist Enzo Mauri, who introduces the today's
- 1:50topic. Good morning, today I'm talking to you
- 1:52about a particular story, that of the nun Jean
- 1:54-Paul Marie de Kers, known to the world as Sir
- 1:57Sorire or Sir Smile, for the religious order,
- 2:00Sir Luc Gabriel, who was born in Brussels, where
- 2:03he went through a childhood that he himself described
- 2:05as grey. After studying sculpture, he was taught
- 2:08the subject for a few years, in 1959 he decided
- 2:12to enter the Dominican Missionary Convent of
- 2:15Our Lady of Fichonmont in Waterloo, taking on
- 2:18the religious name of Sir Luc Gabriel. During
- 2:20his convent life, Jean -Paul cultivated a passion
- 2:23for music, composing and interpreting songs with
- 2:26the guitar. His melodies, appreciated by the
- 2:28nuns and visitors, attracted the attention of
- 2:32the Philips record house. With the permission
- 2:34of the superiors, he wrote an album whose provisions
- 2:36would have been intended. to the religious order.
- 2:39In 1963 the single Dominique became an international
- 2:42success, reaching first place in the US rankings.
- 2:53In every way, in every place, he only speaks
- 2:56of the good God. He only speaks of the good God.
- 3:00Despite the fame, Jean -Paul did not benefit
- 3:03economically from the success. The earnings were
- 3:05absorbed by the discography house and the religious
- 3:08order. In 1966, Saussure left the convent due
- 3:13to divergences with the superiors, continuing
- 3:15to live according to religious principles like
- 3:17the Aika. He tried to continue his musical career
- 3:20with the name of Luc Dominique, facing controversial
- 3:22themes, as the contraception in the song glory
- 3:25be to god for the golden pill that caused ostracism
- 3:29on the part of the church in the following years
- 3:31jean paul faced financial difficulties aggravated
- 3:34by a dispute with the belgian tax that required
- 3:37him to withdraw taxes on the earnings of dominic
- 3:39for the equivalent of 63 thousand dollars of
- 3:42the time although he had not taken any personal
- 3:44profit at the time when jean santerre of england
- 3:47was the king dominic our father fought the albigeois
- 3:53Dominique, nique, nique, s 'en allait tout simplement,
- 3:56oh Dieu, pauvre et chantant, en tout chemin,
- 4:01en tout lieu, il ne parle que du bon Dieu, il
- 4:04ne parle que du bon Dieu. In this period, he
- 4:08opened a school for autistic children together
- 4:10with his friend Annie Pecker, with whom he shared
- 4:12a deep friendship. Annie often went to see Jean
- 4:15-Paul in his convent and moved near Sœur Sourire
- 4:18when he was studying in Lomagno, which later
- 4:20turned into a sentimental relationship. On March
- 4:2429, 1985, overwhelmed by debts and desperation,
- 4:28aggravated by ostracism in the face of their
- 4:31relationship, never openly declared. Moreover,
- 4:34Jean -Paul and Annie decided to put an end their
- 4:36lives, leaving a letter in which they expressed
- 4:38the desire to be buried together. In every way,
- 4:49in every place, he only speaks of the good God,
- 4:52he only speaks of the good God. On the grave
- 4:55was transcribed the phrase « Je vous volerai
- 4:58au tsunami à travers les nuages » or « I saw
- 5:00his soul fly among the clouds ». Their tragic
- 5:02end raised questions about the treatment reserved
- 5:05for artists and the management of copyrights.
- 5:08The story of Sir Sorire was the subject of documentaries,
- 5:11including « The Singing Nun » from 1966 with
- 5:14Debbie Reynolds and « Sir Sorire » from 2009
