Kurzbiographie

Born as the first child of Frank Sinatra and Nancy Sinatra in Jersey City on June 8th 1940. First TV appearance was with her father and Elvis Presley in 1959. First appeared as a film actress in 1964 in For Those Who Think Young (1964) and Get Yourself a College Girl (1964). Nancy appeared alongside Elvis in Speedway (1968). Also had a successful career as a singer with two US chart-toppers ("These Boots are made for Walking" and the duet with her father called "Somethin' Stupid") as well as numerous other chart entries including the John Barry / Leslie Bricusse penned theme song to the James Bond film You Only Live Twice (1967). Lee Hazlewood wrote many of her songs and sang with her on some of them. By the early 70s, she was covering new ground by recording songs from other writers such as Bob Dylan, Smokey Robinson, Lynsey De Paul and Roy Wood. In recent years, Nancy has made a comeback also not hindered by the recent successful re-recording of "Somethin' Stupid" by Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman.

Dies und das

Daughter of Frank Sinatra and Nancy Barbato

Sister of Tina Sinatra and Frank Sinatra Jr..

Mother of A.J. Lambert and photographer Amanda Lambert

Phil Silvers wrote the lyrics to the Jimmy Van Heusen song "Nancy (With the Laughing Face)" for Nancy Sinatra in honor of her 4th birthday

Began her singing career in 1965 after she divorced Tommy Sands.

Actor James Darren is the godfather of her daughter A.J. Lambert.

Had 24 Billboard hits. Her most famous songs are 'These Boots Are Made for Walkin',' 'How Does That Grab You, Darlin'?' 'You Only Live Twice,' 'Sugar Town,' 'Lightning's Girl,' 'Some Velvet Morning,' 'Lady Bird,' 'Somethin' Stupid,' 'Love Eyes,' 'Did You Ever?' and 'The Highway Song,' as well as cult songs 'Bang Bang,' 'Kinky Love,' 'Hook and Ladder' and 'Flowers in the Rain.' Sinatra also has two Adult Contemporary chart favorites, 'Happy,' and the hard-to-find 'How Are Things in California?'

Released a disco single in 1976 called Kinky Love, on Private Stock. The song's suggestive lyrics made the song unplayable to radio waves, and was only heard every so often in underground of the late 70's. It first gained resurrection when in the early 1990's, The Pail Saints covered the song for an album, but really rose attention when Nancy herself included on a 1998 compilation of rare and unreleased tracks called "Sheet Music." Today, the song is widely recognized as a cult hit of Sinatra's (being the talk of different places on the Internet), and original copies of the single [Private Stock 075] is a sought-after collectors item; rarely ever seen at all. Some copies sell for over $1,000 dollars.

Her first hit record, "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'", became popular partly due to the prominent bass guitar riff played throughout the song. That riff was played by Chuck Berghofer, with Carol Kaye on rhythm guitar. Both are of the legendary Wrecking Crew.

Former stepdaughter of Ava Gardner, Mia Farrow, and Barbara Marx.

Received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame [May 11, 2006].

Performed "Somethin' Stupid" with brother Frank Sinatra Jr. on "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" (1967). Nancy and father Frank Sinatra had just had a number 1 hit with the song in the US and the UK, the only father-daughter duet ever to top the charts. [April 30, 1967]
