Editing Nancy Sinatra (section)

===1950s and 1960s===
Sinatra began to study music, dancing and voice at [[University of California, Los Angeles|UCLA]] in the late 1950s, but she dropped out after one year.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/rockandpopfeatures/11574700/Nancy-Sinatra-It-still-hurts-to-hear-his-voice.html|title=Nancy Sinatra: 'It still hurts to hear his voice'|work=Telegraph.co.uk|date=2015-05-01|access-date=2017-04-28}}</ref> 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.<ref name="Grdn">{{cite news |last1=Barlow |first1=Eve |title=Nancy Sinatra: 'I'll never forgive Trump voters.

On the special, Sinatra and her father danced and sang a duet, "[[You Make Me Feel So Young|You Make Me Feel So Young/Old]]".

Sinatra was signed to her father's label, [[Reprise Records]], in 1961. Her first single, "Cuff Links and a Tie Clip," went largely unnoticed. However, subsequent singles 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 ten years, notably with [[Duane Eddy]].<ref name="Grdn"/> 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']]{{-"}}, 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 [[My Fair Lady|Henry Higgins]] and part [[Sigmund Freud]]".<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.ft.com/content/99eb9de6-d821-11e6-944b-e7eb37a6aa8e|title=Elemental and enigmatic — the mystery of Some Velvet Morning|work=Financial Times|date=January 31, 2017|url-access=subscription|access-date=March 13, 2021}}</ref>

A run of chart singles followed, including two 1966 US Top Ten hits: "[[How Does That Grab You, Darlin'?]]" (no. 7) and "[[Sugar Town]]" (no. 5). "Sugar Town" became Sinatra's second million-seller.<ref name="The Book of Golden Discs" /> The ballad "[[Somethin' Stupid]]" – 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 charts|''Billboard'']]{{'}}s [[easy listening]] chart.<ref name="auto">{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/6531810/rewinding-the-charts-in-1967-frank-nancy-sinatra-shared-a-no-1|title=Rewinding the Charts: In 1967, Frank and Nancy Sinatra Shared a number one.|magazine=Billboard|access-date=March 13, 2021}}</ref> Frank and Nancy became the only father-daughter duo to top the Hot 100, but DJs{{who|date=October 2023}} dubbed the track "the incest song" because it was sung as if by two lovers.<ref name="auto"/> 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 [[gramophone record|disc]].<ref name="The Book of Golden Discs" />

Other singles showcasing Sinatra's forthright delivery include "[[Friday's Child (1965 song)|Friday's Child]]" (US no. 36, 1966) and the 1967 hits "Love Eyes" (US no. 15) and "Lightning's Girl" (US no. 24). She rounded out 1967 with the low-charting "Tony Rome" (US no. 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 no. 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 music|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 (song)|Jackson]]". The single peaked at no. 14 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''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 no. 26), accompanied by a [[music video|promo 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."<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.ft.com/content/99eb9de6-d821-11e6-944b-e7eb37a6aa8e|title=Elemental and enigmatic — the mystery of Some Velvet Morning|first=Cathi|last=Unsworth|date=January 31, 2017|newspaper=Financial Times|access-date=October 13, 2020}}</ref> 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.)<ref name="bla">{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2003/11/08/bmduet08.xml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040327172724/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2003/11/08/bmduet08.xml|url-status=dead|archive-date=2004-03-27|title=Duet|newspaper=[[The Daily Telegraph]]|access-date=2011-10-11}}</ref> The song appeared on the duo's 1968 album ''[[Nancy & Lee]]'', 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."<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.npr.org/2017/08/11/542413100/shocking-omission-nancy-sinatra-and-lee-hazlewood-s-charismatic-nancy-lee|title=Shocking Omissions: Nancy Sinatra And Lee Hazlewood's Charismatic 'Nancy & Lee'|website=NPR|date=August 11, 2017|access-date=March 13, 2021|last1=Mejía|first1=Paula}}</ref>

Sinatra recorded the [[You Only Live Twice (song)|theme song]] for the [[James Bond]] film ''[[You Only Live Twice (film)|You Only Live Twice]]'' in 1967. In the liner notes of the CD reissue of her 1966 album ''[[Nancy In London]]'', Sinatra states that she was "scared to death" of recording the song, and asked the songwriters [[Leslie Bricusse]] and [[John Barry (composer)|John Barry]]: "Are you sure you don't want [[Shirley Bassey]]?" There are two versions of the Bond theme. The first is the lushly orchestrated track featured during the opening and closing credits of the film. The second{{spaced ndash}}and more guitar-heavy{{spaced ndash}}version appeared on the [[double A-sided]] single with "Jackson", though the Bond theme stalled at no. 44 on the [[Billboard (magazine)|''Billboard'']] [[Billboard Hot 100|Hot 100]].<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6753813/james-bond-songs-hot-100-highest-charting.|title=007 on Hot 100: See James Bond Songs From Lowest to Highest Charting|magazine=Billboard|access-date=March 13, 2021}}</ref> "Jackson"/"You Only Live Twice" was even more successful in the UK, reaching no. 11 on the singles chart during a 19-week chart run (in the Top 50); it ranked 70 in the year-end chart.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sixtiescity.net/charts/67chart.htm#top100|title=Pop Music Charts – Every Week Of The Sixties|publisher=Sixties City|access-date=2016-03-14}}</ref>

Sinatra traveled to [[Vietnam]] to perform for US troops in 1966 and 1967.<ref name="Grdn"/> 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 [[anti-war|antiwar]] songs, including "[[My Buddy (song)|My Buddy]]", which was featured on her album ''[[Sugar (Nancy Sinatra album)|Sugar]]'', "Home", co-written by [[Mac Davis]] and "It's Such a Lonely Time of Year", which appeared on the 1968 LP ''[[The Sinatra Family Wish You a Merry Christmas]]''. Sinatra recreated her Vietnam concert appearances on a 1988 episode of the television show ''[[China Beach]]''. Sinatra still performs for charitable causes supporting [[Vietnam veteran]]s, including [[Rolling Thunder (organization)|Rolling Thunder]].<ref>{{Cite news|title=SINATRA: Why Rolling Thunder?|url=https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/may/25/why-rolling-thunder/|access-date=2021-10-14|newspaper=The Washington Times}}</ref>
