Nancy Sandra Sinatra (born
June 8,
1940, in
Jersey City, New Jersey) is an
American singer and
actress. She is the daughter of popular singer
Frank Sinatra and his first wife, Nancy Barbato, and remains best known for her 1966
signature hit "
These Boots Are Made for Walkin'".For her fourth birthday,
Phil Silvers and
Jimmy Van Heusen wrote the song "
Nancy (With the Laughing Face)", which her father recorded.Nancy Sinatra began her career as a singer and actress in the early 1960s, but achieved success only in Europe and Japan. Then she had a
transatlantic number-one
pop hit with "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'", which showcased her provocative but good-natured style, and which popularized and made her synonymous with
go-go boots. The tantalising
promo clip featured a big-haired Sinatra and six shapely young women in tight tops, go-go boots and
mini-skirts, and is considered a classic example of high
camp. The song was written by
Lee Hazlewood, who wrote and produced most of her hits and sang with her on several duets, including the critical and cult favourite "
Some Velvet Morning". Between 1966 and 1967 alone, Sinatra charted with 13 titles, all of which featured
Billy Strange as
arranger and
conductor. In 1967 she paired with her father for her second number-one single, "
Somethin' Stupid". In 1968 she acted alongside
Elvis Presley in the movie
Speedway.
