"Dominique," sung by Lucille Starr, was released in 1963. It was an unexpected hit. The song, sung entirely in French, tells the story of Saint Dominic, the founder of the Dominican Order, and his devout journey spreading the word of God. The production of "Dominique" was spearheaded by A&M Records co-founder Herb Alpert, who saw potential in Starr's unique talent. "Dominique" climbed to the top of the charts in the United States, Canada, and several European countries, making Lucille Starr the first Canadian artist to achieve such a feat. Starr, born Lucille Marie Raymonde Savoie on May 13, 1938, in St. Boniface, Manitoba, was a highly acclaimed Canadian singer, songwriter, and yodeler. Hailing from a musical family, she began her musical journey in the Franco-Manitoban community of Saint Boniface, where she first showcased her vocal talents in church. Her early years saw her singing with the local group Les Hirondelles, setting the stage for her remarkable career in the world of music. In 1954, she embarked on her professional career in Vancouver, adopting the stage name Lucille Starr. Two years later, she joined forces with country singer Bob Regan, her future husband, to form the country duo known as "Bob & Lucille." The duo caught the attention of A&M Records in Los Angeles in 1963, leading to a new chapter as "The Canadian Sweethearts." Starr's powerful voice and distinctive performances, particularly the bilingual hit "The French Song" in 1964, propelled her to international stardom. Lucille Starr passed away in the early hours of September 4, 2020, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
