Nancy Sinatra is an American singer who gained popularity in the sixties. Unlike her legendary father, "the last romantic" Francis Sinatra, she decided to perform contemporary pop music at that time.
Biography
Nancy Sinatra was born on June 8, 1940 in New Jersey. She became the firstborn in the family of Francis Sinatra, already quite popular at that time, and his childhood friend Nancy Barbato. Soon she had a younger brother and sister. When Nancy was 9 years old, her parents divorced. Mother could no longer tolerate rumors of a whirlwind romance between her father and actress Ava Gardner, whom he nevertheless married after the divorce.
Francis dreamed that the first daughter would follow in his footsteps. On Nancy's fourth birthday, he recorded a song, naming it after. After parting with his first wife, Francis did not stop maintaining relations with children. He tried his best to make them popular. So, at the age of 17, Nancy starred with her father in one film, and in 1960 she made her television debut in a program where he was the host. After a while, she again got movie roles, starring with Elvis Presley himself and Peter Fonda.
Career
Nancy's debut on stage as a singer took place in 1966. She relied on pop music that ran counter to that of her popular father. The girl chose a sexy image for performances. She went on stage in short skirts, the most open-fitting dresses and certainly high heels. Nancy successfully played the role of the hottie.
Her debut song "These Boots Are Made for Walkin" climbed to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and UK charts in terms of sales. She owes much of her success to the influential producer Lee Hazlewood. Nancy recorded several duets with him, including "Some Velvet Morning". Under the leadership of Hazlewood, the theme for the James Bond film "You Only Live Twice" was released. In 1967, Nancy and her father recorded the song "Somethin 'Stupid", which broke the charts on different sides of the Atlantic. And Lee Hazelwood also had a hand in this.
Nancy soon left show business to spend more time with her husband and children. In 1985, she returned with a book about her father.
In 1995, her first album after a break in her career was released. To the surprise of many, it was recorded in country style. To promote it, 55-year-old Nancy had to appear on the cover of Playboy magazine.
A new round of interest in the singer of the sixties was provoked by Quentin Tarantino when he added Nancy's song "Bang Bang" to the credits of his popular film "Kill Bill". Robbie Williams soon remade "You Only Live Twice" into his hit "Millennium" and also sang "Somethin 'Stupid" with Nicole Kidman.
Personal life
In 1972, Nancy Sinatra became the wife of dancer Hugh Lambert. It was because of him that she decided to take a break from her singing career. In the marriage, two daughters were born, Angela and Amanda.
