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 & 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.”
While these career landmarks are well-documented in the annals of pop culture
history, however, much of Sinatra’s catalog remains sorely overlooked. As Keep
Walkin’ co-producer Hunter Lea explains, “With the changing taste of the record-
buying public in the late 1960s and the counterculture taking over, artists like Nancy
Sinatra weren’t in the mainstream as they once were.” Despite that fact, “[Sinatra]
kept working, recording, and performing at a voracious pace.”
