Light in the Attic

Nancy Sinatra is an American singer and actress, born on June 8, 1940. She gained popularity in the early 1960s and became known for her signature hit "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'". Her other notable recordings include "Sugar Town", "Somethin' Stupid" (a duet with her father), and the title song from the James Bond film You Only Live Twice. Collaborations with Lee Hazlewood, such as "Jackson", and her cover of Cher's "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" are also well-known. Nancy had a successful career in Europe and Japan before achieving transatlantic success with her iconic hit.

In addition to her music career, Nancy Sinatra had a brief acting career in the mid-60s. She starred alongside Elvis Presley in the movie Speedway and appeared with Peter Fonda in The Wild Angels. Throughout 1966 and 1967, she charted with 13 titles, all featuring Billy Strange as arranger and conductor. Her provocative yet good-natured style made her synonymous with go-go boots during that era.

Lee Hazlewood played a significant role in Nancy Sinatra's success as he wrote and produced most of her hits. They collaborated on several duets together, including the critically acclaimed "Some Velvet Morning". Notably, Quentin Tarantino featured Nancy's cover of Cher's "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" during

Light in the Attic continues to celebrate the influential career of singer, actress, activist, and icon Nancy Sinatra with a captivating new collection, Keep Walkin’: Singles, Demos and Rarities 1965-1978. Exploring the lesser-known gems from Sinatra’s rich catalog through 25 B-sides, rare singles, covers, demos, and previously unreleased recordings, Keep Walkin’ was remastered by the Grammy® nominated engineer John Baldwin and available in a variety of formats.

In 1965, 25-year-old Nancy Sinatra scored her first No.1 hit with “These Boots are Made for Walkin’,” a bold anthem for female empowerment. Brazen, sassy, and utterly infectious, it was a reintroduction of sorts for the eldest daughter of Frank Sinatra, who had been struggling to find a spotlight of her own amid a changing musical landscape. Suddenly, audiences who had initially brushed off Sinatra as too demure or out-of-touch were paying attention. Written and produced by Oklahoma-born songsmith Lee Hazlewood (with swaggering instrumentals, courtesy of Billy Strange and The Wrecking Crew), the song launched the singer’s career, as well as one of music’s most unlikely, yet compelling, creative partnerships. 

Over the next decade, Sinatra continued to notch multiple hits on both sides of the Atlantic, including “Sugar Town,” “How Does That Grab You, Darlin?,” and a haunting rendition of the Sonny Bono-penned “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down).” The singer also paired up with Hazlewood for a series of popular duets (“Summer Wine,” “Jackson,” and “Some Velvet Morning”) and collaborative albums. In between best-selling LPs like Boots (1966), How Does That Grab You (1966), and Nancy and Lee (1968), Sinatra performed the theme song to the 1967 James Bond film, You Only Live Twice, and collaborated with her father on the global chart-topper, “Somethin’ Stupid.”

Among the highlights is the spritely opener “The City Never Sleeps at Night,” which served as the B-Side to “These Boots Were Made for Walkin’.” Overshadowed by the colossal success of its A-side, it’s no surprise that the cinematic tune never had its proper due. Yet, Lea reveals, Hazlewood initially intended to make it the focus single. Another long-lost B-side is “The Last of the Secret Agents?,” which was paired with the Top 10 hit, “How Does That Grab You, Darlin’?” The playful song, written by Hazlewood, served as the theme to the 1966 comedy of the same name, in which Sinatra co-starred alongside Marty Allen and Steve Rossi. 

Keep Walkin’ also features several choice A-sides that were never included on albums and were overlooked for one reason or another. Among them is 1966’s “In Our Time,” a rebellious anthem for ‘60s youth, which references drug culture and women’s liberation, among other topics.

The collection also features several outstanding covers, including a previously-unreleased rendition of the Barry Mann / Cynthia Weil classic, “I Just Can’t Help Believing” (a hit for both B.J. Thomas and Elvis Presley). This 1978 recording, reimagined as a duet, marked one of Sinatra’s brief reunions with Hazlewood, following his abrupt move to Sweden not long after 1972’s Nancy and Lee Again. Another choice track finds Nancy interpreting Neil Diamond’s “Glory Road.” Released as a single in 1971, it features one of the singer’s most cherished vocal performances.&nbsp;
