Nancy Sandra Sinatra(born June 8, 1940) is an
American singer and actress. She is the elder daughter of Frank Sinatra and Nancy Sinatra (née Barbato), and is best known for her 1966 signature hit "These Boots
Are Made for Walkin'".
Nancy
Sinatra began her career as a singer and actress in November 1957 with an
appearance on her father's ABC-TV variety series, 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 promo clip from the era features Sinatra in high boots, accompanied by
colourfully dressed go-go dancers,
in what is now considered an iconic Swinging Sixties 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" featured Billy Strange as arranger and conductor.
Between early 1966 and early 1968, Sinatra
charted on Billboard's Hot 100 with 14 titles, ten of which reached the Top 40. In addition to
"These Boots Are Made for Walkin'", defining recordings during this
period include "Sugar Town",
"Love Eyes", the transatlantic 1967 number one "Somethin' Stupid" (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)", which features in the
opening credits of Quentin Tarantino's 2003
film Kill Bill Volume 1.
In 1971 Sinatra and Hazlewood achieved their first collaborative success in the
UK singles chart with the nº 2 hit "Did You Ever?", and the 2005 UK nº
3 hit by Audio Bullys, "Shot You Down",
sampled Sinatra's version of "Bang Bang".
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.
Generation is the second studio album by the electronic music group Audio Bullys,
released on 31 October 2005. It features the singles "Shot You Down",
which reached number 3 on the UK Singles Chart,
and "I'm in Love" (released 24 October 2005).
Two
Promo versions of the album were released on CD by Source/EMI. One of these
(CDSOURDJ107) features a different track order, a different shorter mix of I
Won't Let You Down, and 3 extra tracks that were pulled before the final album
release.
I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight
Bang bang, he shot me
down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
Bang bang, I shot you
down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down
Down, down, d-down
Down, down, d-down
Down, down, d-down
Down, down, d-down
Down, down, d-down
Down, down, d-down
Down, down, d-down
Down, down, d-down
Down, down, d-down
My baby shot me down
My baby shot me down
Down, down, d-down
Down, down, d-down
Down, down, d-down
Down, down, d-down
Down, down, d-down
Down, down, d-down
Down, down, d-down
Down, down, d-down
Bang bang, I shot you
down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down.
