From fighting to stay with a label that had no interest in me as an artist, to recording an ultimately shelved album with Lee Hazlewood, to his sudden and unannounced departure for Sweden, my last few years on Reprise Records were turbulent, to say the least. After Lee removed himself from my life, I was left to pick up the pieces and forge ahead with my buddy, Billy Strange. Together, we created Nancy, my final album released by Reprise. Producer Hunter Lea has put together a short film about this time in my career, entitled The Story of Nancy, which will premiere on my YouTube Channel on Sunday, November 30th at 5pm PST/8pm EST.

Friends, I am excited to announce that Light in the Attic's Nancy Sinatra Archival Series is back on track! Next up is my 1969 album, Nancy, which will be released on December 5th. I know my epitaph will read, “Here lies Frank Sinatra’s daughter, who died with her boots on,” but I’ve recorded many other wonderful albums. Nancy is one of those. The album came together during a challenging time in my career after Barton Lee abandoned me to move to Sweden. However, Billy Strange and I created a terrific record that truly represented who I was at that time. Unfortunately, the label did the bare minimum promotion-wise, so it didn’t gain the attention it deserved, but I’m thrilled the album is now getting a new lease on life. I hope you all love it as much as I do. Pre-order Nancy on CD, vinyl, and a limited edition signed test pressing from Nancy's Bootique. 👉

Ruth Buzzi (RUTH BUZZI) was a comedic genius. Working alongside her on Laugh-In was the most fun I ever had working. I treasured her friendship and I am heartbroken to wake up to the news that she is gone. I love you, Ruthie. Godspeed, old friend. Sending condolences to her husband Kent and to all who loved her. Remembering happy times with Ruthie, as well as Goldie Hawn, Teresa Graves, and Joanne Worley on Laugh-In.

On billboard Magazine’s Hot 100 chart dated February 26, 1966, “These Boots Are Made For Walkin’” became my first #1 hit. Over the years the song has taken on a life of its own. It’s like being associated with a brand. EVERYBODY knows “Boots!” Even now people send me videos of their small children singing and dancing to it. If I have any complaints, it’s that history has rewritten me as a one-hit-wonder. That I hate. “These Boots Are Made For Walkin’” was part of my stage show, The Nancy Sinatra Show, and was featured in the filmed version, Movin’ With Nancy On Stage in 1971. This clip hasn’t been seen in over 50 years.

Light in the Attic is proud to present Nancy Sinatra’s 1967 album, Movin’ With Nancy. This definitive new edition and first ever vinyl re-release celebrates Nancy at the peak of her 1960s cool. Movin’ With Nancy is one of the most ambitious creative projects in Nancy Sinatra’s career. The hour long, 1967 television special and accompanying soundtrack album capture the creative, groovy, and beautiful times of the 1960s. The project was funded by RC Cola, but this was no cash in. It was a passion project for Nancy, who asked her dad, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and other family and friends to be in the movie. She also used her own cars, clothes, house and did her own make-up. A truly DIY production. The album features Frank Sinatra performing “Younger Than Springtime” and Dean Martin dueting with Nancy on “Things.” Producer Lee Hazlewood duets with Nancy on “Some Velvet Morning” and “Jackson,” he also contributes the songs “I Gotta Get Out Of This Town,” “Friday’s Child,” “This Town” and “See The Little Children.” The bonus tracks include the never before heard outtake, “It’s Such A Pretty World Today (Movin’ Version)”, two unreleased pieces of music featured in the film and the incredibly catchy commercial, “RC Cola (It’s A Mad Mad Cola).” Pre-order the LP, CD and a very limited edition signed test pressing. 👉

Thinking of my old pal, Elvis, on his birthday. He was a sensitive and caring man with a heart full of love. He was also a funny man, one of the funniest I've ever known. Oh, god, how I miss him. Happy birthday, Crazy. I wish you were here to celebrate your birthday with us, but I hope you're celebrating big wherever you are in the Universe. Love you always, Nasty.

Today hurts in the same way it always does since you left, Frankie, but I’m celebrating your life—the memories, the mischief, and the bond we shared. I miss your laugh, your courage, and the way you made everything more fun just by being there. You left us far too soon, a loss I feel every day, but your impact on my life is forever. There are no words that can fully capture how much I miss you, and even though I can’t give you a card or a hug, I’m sending all my love to heaven today. Happy birthday, Uncle Funny. I’ll never stop missing you. Never.

When Lee Hazlewood heard the version of “You Only Live Twice” I recorded in London with John Barry, he said it was great but not very commercial. So, we went into the studio to re-record it with The Wrecking Crew for the single. This week, Hunter Lea explores the multitrack for the single version of “You Only Live Twice, with studio chatter from Lee, Billy, and moi. Which version of the song is your favorite?

“Sugar Town” isn’t one of my favorites of my records, but it hit the top 5 and became one of my biggest hits. Putting together an album around it proved to be quite the challenge. “Sugar Town” was basically LSD, but wasn’t publicized as such. It was Lee’s “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.” The song went against my image, which made it tough to choose songs for the same collection. In the end we decided to go with Dixieland Jazz standards standards and called the album Sugar. My friend, Ron Joy, shot the cover photo. I thought wearing a bikini by the beach was kind of commonplace, but a bikini in ugly weeds, a little kookie. I wanted something that was different because I knew the idea of a bikini on an album cover would be shocking in the first place. A screen was placed over the photo because it was way too graphic for the day. It was pretty much the first of its kind and the label was afraid of it. The bikini is tame by today’s standards, but when the album came out it was quite provocative. In fact, it was banned in Boston! A newly remastered Sugar joins Light in the Attic’s Nancy Sinatra Archival Series on November 29. Preorder CD and vinyl: 👉

My self-titled album was released 20 years ago on this date! The project began with a call from my pal Morrissey, telling me he had written a song for me and if I recorded it I would be on the charts for the first time since 1972. That song was “Let Me Kiss You.” (1/5)

Near the end of my tenure with Reprise Records, anti-war music was taking over the industry, and the label began pressuring me to go that route but after touring Viet Nam and having seen the horrors of that war up close, I was not prepared to go there. The sights, sounds and smells are still with me today. I recorded songs that I was comfortable with, such as “Home” and “It’s Such a Lonely Time of Year,” which I feel were every bit as, or more effective than songs like “Eve of Destruction.” “It’s Such a Lonely Time of Year” was recorded for our family Christmas album, The Sinatra Family Wish You a Merry Christmas in 1968. A few months before the album’s release, I performed it on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hours, with slightly altered lyrics. While the song was written during the Viet Nam war, its’ message of separation and loss is universal and can apply to many situations. Friends, Christmas is a season of hope, so if you’re struggling, please don’t lose heart. Stay the course. With faith and love in your heart, your life can change in ways you may not yet see. As my dad always said, take it two minutes at a time. May God bless you all.

Explore the multitrack for the my previously unreleased recording of the Beatles’ “Here, There and Everywhere,” which was recorded with Billy Strange during the Nancy album sessions. I wasn’t trying to make any bold statements, nor was I trying to compete or outdo the Beatles’ version. I just loved the song and decided to try it. In the end, the song didn’t make the cut. I recorded nonstop in the ‘60s. Some songs stayed, some were set aside. “Here, There and Everywhere” was long forgotten and unheard for almost 60 years, until Hunter Lea recently discovered it in an unmarked box in the vault. Enjoy.

My father was one of the most amazing men I ever had the pleasure to know. What an extraordinary life he lived! Thinking of him and everything he accomplished in his life on this sad anniversary. The world could use his warmth, kindness, and wonderful sense of humor today. I love you, Poppa. “What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes part of us.” ~ Helen Keller
