Mini bio

How it started.

Nancy grew up as Frank Sinatra’s eldest daughter, but finding her own sound took time. At 19, she appeared with her father and Elvis Presley on Welcome Home Elvis. Early singles gave way to a partnership with songwriter and producer Lee Hazlewood, arranger Billy Strange and the Wrecking Crew.

The breakout.

“These Boots Are Made for Walkin’” took her to No. 1 on both sides of the Atlantic in 1966. “Sugar Town,” “How Does That Grab You, Darlin’?” and duets with Hazlewood followed. In 1967 she sang the theme for You Only Live Twice and recorded the No. 1 duet “Somethin’ Stupid” with her father.

Songs that keep finding listeners.

Her spare version of “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down),” accompanied by Billy Strange’s guitar, reached a new audience through the opening credits of Kill Bill: Volume 1. The Nancy Sinatra Archival Series with Light in the Attic brings her recordings back with remastered sound, photographs and interviews, including new editions of Nancy and Movin’ With Nancy.
