Noel Henry was a well-known recording artist who, with his Irish Showband, entertained at dances, functions and concerts across the country since he journeyed to the US from his home in Balla, County Mayo, Ireland over 30 years ago. In 1988, Noel was diagnosed with bone cancer and after surgery and a year of chemotherapy his cancer went into remission. In thanksgiving he and his wife Winne went on their first pilgrimage to Medugorje. Upon his return from this life-changing pilgrimage, he decided to record, what would be his last album - How Can I Keep From Singing - a collection of Noel's favorite religious church hymns. With his eldest daughter Caroline accompanying him on several of the hymns, he recorded this beautiful album of inspirational hymns as a thanksgiving for his remission from cancer. One of the songs on the CD called 'Song of Thanks' was written by Noel Henry after his cancer was in remission. In this beautiful song, he shares his thoughts on what is truly important in life. However, in 1994, his cancer returned and sadly Noel passed away in January 1995, leaving behind his wife and 7 children and a legacy of beautiful music. This prayerful album continues to bring comfort, peace and joy to many people.
