Nancy Sinatra

Biography

Nancy Sandra Sinatra (born June 8, 1940) is an American singer, actress, film producer, and author. She is the elder daughter of Frank Sinatra and Nancy Sinatra (née Barbato) and is known for her 1966 signature hit "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'×These Boots Are Made For Walkin'1966 · EPSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 4 tracksA1These Boots Are Made For Walkin'2:40A2Run For Your Life2:25B1Day Tripper3:01B2Lies2:46".
Nancy Sinatra began her career as a singer in November 1957 with an appearance on her father's ABC television variety series The Frank Sinatra Show, but initially achieved success only in Europe and Japan. In early 1966, she had a transatlantic number-one hit with "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'". A TV promotional clip from the era features Sinatra in high boots, accompanied by colorfully dressed go-go dancers, in what is now considered an iconic Swingin' 60s look. The song was written by Lee Hazlewood, who wrote and produced most of her hits and sang with her on several duets. As with all of Sinatra's 1960s hits, "Boots×Boots1966 · Studio albumSpotifyYouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 11 tracksA1As Tears Go By2:50A2Day Tripper3:01A3I Move Around2:46A4It Ain’t Me Babe1:55A5These Boots Are Made for Walkin’2:40B1In My Room2:35B2Lies2:46B3So Long, Babe3:04B4Flowers on the Wall2:37B5If He’d Love Me2:45B6Run for Your Life2:25" featured Billy Strange as arranger and conductor.
Between early 1966 and early 1968, Sinatra charted on Billboard's Hot 100 with 14 titles, 10 of which reached the Top 40. In addition to "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'", defining recordings during this period include "Sugar Town×Sugar Town1966 · SingleSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 2 tracks1Sugar Town2Summer Wine", "Love Eyes", the transatlantic 1967 number-one "Somethin' Stupid×Somethin' Stupid1967 · EPSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 4 tracksA1Somethin' Stupid2:35A2Somewhere My LoveB1Coastin'B2Love Eyes" (a duet with her father), two versions of the title song from the James Bond film You Only Live Twice (1967), several collaborations with Lee Hazlewood – including "Summer Wine", "Jackson", "Lady Bird", and "Some Velvet Morning" – and a non-single 1966 cover of the Cher hit "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)". In 1971, Sinatra and Hazlewood achieved their first collaborative success in the UK singles chart with the number-two hit "Did You Ever?" and the 2005 UK number-three hit by Audio Bullys, "Shot You Down×Shot You Down1 January 2005 · SingleSpotifyYouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 1 track1Shot You Down6:51", sampled Sinatra's version of "Bang Bang×Bang Bang15 November 2017 · SingleSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 1 track1Bang Bang (Original Mix)5:54".
Between 1964 and 1968, Sinatra appeared in several feature films, co-starring with Peter Fonda in Roger Corman's biker-gang movie The Wild Angels (1966) and alongside Elvis Presley in the musical drama Speedway (1968). Frank and Nancy Sinatra played a fictional father and daughter in the 1965 comedy Marriage on the Rocks.

Early life

Sinatra was born on June 8, 1940, in Jersey City, New Jersey. She is the eldest of the three children born to Frank Sinatra and his first wife, Nancy Barbato. Both of her parents were of Italian ancestry. When she was a toddler, the family moved to Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey. They later moved again to Toluca Lake, California, for her father's Hollywood career. There, she spent many years in piano, dance, and dramatic performance lessons, and undertook months of voice lessons.
Jill St. John was one of Sinatra's elementary-school classmates and later dated her father. She graduated from University High School (Los Angeles) in June 1958.

1950s and 1960s

Sinatra began to study music, dancing, and voice at UCLA in the late 1950s, but she dropped out after one year. She made her professional debut on her father's television show The Frank Sinatra Show in November 1957 and then appeared on his 1960 television special The Frank Sinatra Timex Show: Welcome Home Elvis, which celebrated the return of Elvis Presley from Europe following his discharge from military service. Nancy was sent to the airport on behalf of her father to welcome Presley when his plane landed. On the special, Sinatra and her father danced and sang a duet, "You Make Me Feel So Young/Old". That same year, she began a five-year marriage to Tommy Sands.
Sinatra was signed to her father's label, Reprise Records, in 1961. Her first single, "Cuff Links and a Tie Clip×Cuff Links and a Tie Clip1961 · SingleSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 2 tracksACuff Links and a Tie Clip2:00BNot Just Your Friend2:53", went largely unnoticed. Her subsequent singles, though, charted in Europe and Japan. By 1965, without a hit in the United States, she was on the verge of being dropped by the label. Her singing career received a boost with the help of songwriter/producer/arranger Lee Hazlewood, who had been making records for 10 years, notably with Duane Eddy. Hazlewood's collaboration with Sinatra began when Frank Sinatra asked Lee to help boost his daughter's career. When recording "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'×These Boots Are Made For Walkin'1966 · EPSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 4 tracksA1These Boots Are Made For Walkin'2:40A2Run For Your Life2:25B1Day Tripper3:01B2Lies2:46", Hazlewood is said to have suggested to Nancy, "You can't sing like Nancy Nice Lady anymore. You have to sing for the truckers." She later described him as "part Henry Higgins and part Sigmund Freud".
Hazlewood had Sinatra sing in a lower key and crafted songs for her. Bolstered by an image overhaul – including bleached-blond hair, frosted lips, heavy eye makeup, and Carnaby Street fashions – Sinatra made her mark on the American (and British) music scene in early 1966 with "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'", its title inspired by a line from Robert Aldrich's 1963 Western comedy 4 for Texas, starring Dean Martin and her father. One of her many hits written by Hazlewood, it received three Grammy Award nominations at the 9th Annual Grammy Awards, including two for Sinatra and one for arranger Billy Strange. It sold more than one million copies and was awarded a gold disc. A TV promotional clip featured Sinatra in high boots, accompanied by colorfully dressed go-go dancers, to iconic Swinging Sixties effect.
A run of chart singles followed, including two 1966 US Top Ten hits: "How Does That Grab You, Darlin'?" (number seven) and "Sugar Town×Sugar Town1966 · SingleSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 2 tracks1Sugar Town2Summer Wine" (number five), which became Sinatra's second million-seller. The ballad "Somethin' Stupid×Somethin' Stupid1967 · EPSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 4 tracksA1Somethin' Stupid2:35A2Somewhere My LoveB1Coastin'B2Love Eyes" – a duet with her father – reached number one in the US and the UK in April 1967 and spent nine weeks at the top of Billboard's easy listening chart. Frank and Nancy became the only father-daughter duo to top the Hot 100, but DJs dubbed the track "the incest song" because it was sung as if by two lovers. The record earned a Grammy Award nomination for Record of the Year at the 10th Annual Grammy Awards and remains the only father-daughter duet to hit number one in the US; it became Nancy's third million-selling record.

Other singles showcasing Sinatra's forthright delivery include "Friday's Child×Friday's Child1966 · SingleSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 2 tracks1Friday's Child2Hutchinson Jail" (US number 36, 1966) and the 1967 hits "Love Eyes" (US number 15) and "Lightning's Girl×Lightning's Girl1990 · Album · CompilationSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 24 tracks1Lightning's Girl2:562These Boots Are Made for Walkin'2:443How Does That Grab You Darlin'?2:324Good Time Girl3:245You Only Live Twice2:586The Last of the Secret Agents2:527So Long Babe3:058Sugar Town2:239Friday's Child2:2710Jackson2:4711Did You Ever2:5612Summer Wine4:1613Lady Bird3:0314Some Velvet Morning3:3715Sand3:4516Love Eyes2:3617Drummer Man3:2218Something Stupid2:4119I've Been Down for So Long2:5620Sundown Sundown2:4021Down From Dover3:3722100 Years2:3023Paris Summer2:5724Hook and Ladder3:09" (US number 24). She rounded out 1967 with the low-charting "Tony Rome" (US number 83), the title track from the detective film Tony Rome starring her father. Her first solo single in 1968 was the more wistful "100 Years" (US number 69). That same year, she recorded "Highway Song", written by Kenny Young and produced by Mickie Most, for the European markets. The song reached the Top 20 in the UK and other European countries.
Sinatra enjoyed a parallel recording career, cutting duets with the husky-voiced, country-and-western-inspired Hazlewood, starting with "Summer Wine" (originally the B-side of "Sugar Town"). Their biggest hit was a cover of the 1963 country song "Jackson". The single peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the summer of 1967, just a few months after Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash hit big on the country chart with their cover of the song.

In December 1967, Sinatra and Hazlewood released the single "Some Velvet Morning" (US number 26), accompanied by a promotional clip. The recording is regarded as one of pop's more unusual singles; critic Cathi Unsworth wrote, "The puzzle of its lyrics and otherworldly beauty of its sound [offer] seemingly endless interpretations." The British broadsheet The Daily Telegraph placed "Some Velvet Morning" atop its 2003 list of the Top 50 Best Duets Ever ("Somethin' Stupid" ranked no. 27.) The song appeared on the duo's 1968 album Nancy & Lee×Nancy & Lee1968 · Studio albumSpotifyYouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 11 tracksA1You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin3:25A2Elusive Dreams3:17A3Greenwich Village Folk Song Salesman2:37A4Summer Wine3:45A5Storybook Children3:11B1Sundown, Sundown2:41B2Jackson2:52B3Some Velvet Morning3:38B4Sand3:47B5Lady Bird3:05B6I’ve Been Down So Long (It Looks Like Up to Me)2:48, about which National Public Radio commented in 2017, "... its sly, sultry movements both are a gem of traditional '60s pop and an inversion of traditional conceptions of romance."
Sinatra recorded the theme song for the James Bond film You Only Live Twice in 1967. In the liner notes of the CD reissue of her 1966 album Nancy In London×Nancy in London1966 · Studio albumSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 11 tracksA1On Broadway2:47A2The End2:25A3Step Aside2:36A4I Can't Grow Peaches on a Cherry Tree2:41A5Summer Wine3:44B1Wishin' and Hopin'2:52B2This Little Bird2:10B3Shades2:18B4The More I See You2:32B5Hutchinson Jail2:51B6Friday's Child3:04, Sinatra states that she was "scared to death" of recording the song, and asked the songwriters Leslie Bricusse and John Barry: "Are you sure you don't want Shirley Bassey?" The two versions of the Bond theme include the lushly orchestrated track featured during the opening and closing credits of the film, and the more guitar-heavy version that appeared on the double A-sided single with "Jackson", though the Bond theme stalled at number 44 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Jackson"/"You Only Live Twice" was even more successful in the UK, reaching number 11 on the singles chart during a 19-week chart run (in the Top 50); it ranked 70th on the year-end chart.
Sinatra traveled to Vietnam to perform for US troops in 1966 and 1967. Many soldiers adopted her song "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" as their anthem, as shown in Pierre Schoendoerffer's documentary The Anderson Platoon (1967) and reprised in a scene in Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket (1987). Sinatra recorded several antiwar songs, including "My Buddy", which was featured on her album Sugar×Sugar1966 · Studio albumSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 13 tracksA1Sweet Georgia Brown4:02A2Vagabond Shoes2:03A3Oh!

Sinatra recreated her Vietnam concert appearances on a 1988 episode of the television show China Beach. Sinatra still performs for charitable causes supporting Vietnam veterans, including Rolling Thunder.

Films and television

Sinatra played a secretary in the 1963 Burke's Law episode "Who Killed Wade Walker?". She starred in three beach party films: For Those Who Think Young (1964), Get Yourself a College Girl (1964), and The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini (1966), performing songs in the latter film. After securing the role that eventually went to Linda Evans in Beach Blanket Bingo, she withdrew because the film's character is kidnapped – a parallel she found too close to actual events when her brother Frank Sinatra Jr. was kidnapped in December 1963.
Sinatra appeared as a guest with Woody Allen on the game show Password in 1965. She appeared as herself in The Oscar (1966) and also starred in The Last of the Secret Agents?, in which she sang the title song, and The Wild Angels the same year. She appeared in the 1968 Elvis Presley musical comedy Speedway, her final film.

Sinatra appeared on The Virginian, The Ed Sullivan Show, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, and The Kraft Music Hall, hosted by Sandler & Young. She also appeared in her father's 1966 special A Man and His Music – Part II and a 1967 Christmas-themed episode of The Dean Martin Show, which featured the Sinatra and Martin families.
NBC aired Sinatra's own special, Movin' with Nancy, in 1967. It featured Lee Hazlewood, her father and his Rat Pack pals Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr., her brother Frank Sinatra Jr., and West Side Story dancer David Winters, who choreographed the show. Jack Haley Jr. directed and produced the special, for which he received an Emmy Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Music or Variety at the 20th Primetime Emmy Awards. During the special, Sinatra shared a kiss with Davis Jr., about which she has stated, "The kiss [was] one of the first interracial kisses seen on television and it caused some controversy then, and now. [But] contrary to some inaccurate online reports, the kiss was unplanned and spontaneous." Winters was nominated for an Emmy in the Special Classification of Individual Achievements category for his choreography, but lost to co-winners The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and The Jackie Gleason Show. Movin' With Nancy was sponsored by RC Cola.

The magazine appearance caused some controversy. On the talk-show circuit, she said that her father was proud of the photos. Sinatra told Jay Leno on a 1995 Tonight Show that her daughters gave their approval, but her mother said that she should ask her father before committing to the project. Sinatra said that when she told her father what Playboy would be paying her, he said, "Double it".

Each artist crafted a song for Sinatra to sing on the album. EMI released The Essential Nancy Sinatra, a UK-only greatest-hits compilation featuring the previously unreleased track, "Machine Gun Kelly", in 2006.

Sinatra has progressive positions on political issues, advocating for advances in women's rights, healthcare, and reversal of climate change.

Union activism

On March 30, 2012, the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists completed a merger of equals, forming a new union SAG-AFTRA. As a result of this merger, a group of actors including Sinatra, Michael Bell, Wendy Schaal, Schaal's former stepmother Valerie Harper, Clancy Brown, former SAG President Edward Asner, Martin Sheen, and Ed Harris immediately sued SAG President Ken Howard and several SAG vice presidents to overturn the merger and separate the merged unions because of their claims that the election was improper. The plaintiffs dropped their lawsuit several months later.
