It is often that a son or daughter<br \/>\nfollows in their parent&#8217;s footsteps in recording music. Frank<br \/>\nSinatra&#8217;s daughter Nancy was famous for her #1 hit, &#8220;These Boots<br \/>\nWere Made For Walkin&#8217;,&#8221; one of the most enjoyable tunes of the<br \/>\n1960s. Rhino Records released<br \/>\n<i>The Hit Years<\/i>, a 1986 greatest hits compilation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So Long Babe&#8221; is another good hit, as it describes the pop<br \/>\nsound of the 1960s. It&#8217;s much different than what follows. With<br \/>\n&#8220;These Boots,&#8221; there were other tunes with the somewhat similar<br \/>\nmelody, like &#8220;How Does That Grab You Darlin,&#8221; with a good dose of<br \/>\ncountry guitar and horns. Even &#8220;The Last Of The Secret Agents&#8221; has<br \/>\nthe &#8220;These Boots&#8221; sound, as well as a James Bond atmosphere. She<br \/>\nwould later record the title song to the James Bond film, &#8220;You Only<br \/>\nLive Twice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Friday&#8217;s Child&#8221; has the blues\/soul sound, and while Sinatra<br \/>\ndoesn&#8217;t actually sound like a blues singer, the music is quite<br \/>\nimpressive. &#8220;Sugar Town&#8221; is a great pop record, having a very<br \/>\nbouncy, happy-go-lucky sound. Another impressive tune is Sinatra&#8217;s<br \/>\nduet with Lee Hazlewood, &#8220;Summer Wine,&#8221; which has a more adult<br \/>\ncountry sound. Her more typical female pop sound with a blues twist<br \/>\nis heard on &#8220;Love Eyes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nancy&#8217;s 2nd #1 hit was a duet with her father, &#8220;Somethin&#8217;<br \/>\nStupid,&#8221; another great song, best described as easy listening.<br \/>\nNancy does a great part in &#8220;Jackson,&#8221; a duet with Hazlewood and a<br \/>\nsong that was also popular for Johnny Cash and June Carter.<br \/>\n&#8220;Lightning&#8217;s Girl&#8221; has a more adult pop sound. Another standout is<br \/>\nher duet with Hazlewood on &#8220;Some Velvet Morning,&#8221; a song with a<br \/>\nmysterious atmosphere that still easily fits the late-1960s pop<br \/>\nsound.<\/p>\n<p>A little bit of country, a little bit of pop rock and roll best<br \/>\ndefines Nancy Sinatra&#8217;s<br \/>\n<i>The Hit Years<\/i>. One artist comes to mind to compare her to &#8212;<br \/>\nDusty Springfield. Nancy Sinatra&#8217;s music may be overlooked, but her<br \/>\ngreatest hits are very enjoyable. She may not have been as popular<br \/>\nas her father, but she did prove that the child of a popular singer<br \/>\ncan follow in his footsteps for a time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":26317,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[6815],"rating":[5615],"class_list":["post-37545","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-nancy-sinatra","rating-rating-b"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/37545","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37545"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/37545\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37545"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=37545"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=37545"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
