Nancy Sinatra
Recorded back in 2015, Nancy Sinatra talks to Matt about the first key musical moments in her life and career to date.
Matt welcomes showbiz royalty to The First Time as he talks to Nancy Sinatra about the first key musical moments in her life and career to date.
With signature hit 'These Boots Are Made for Walkin' and the worldwide number one 'Somethin' Stupid' (a duet with her father Frank) she was given the honour of performing the title song for the James Bond film 'You Only Live Twice' in 1967. Nancy and her musical collaborator Lee Hazlewood went on to be became counter-culture icons.
In 2003 Quentin Tarantino brought their music to a new generation by using their cover of Cher's 'Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)' in the film 'Kill Bill'. And in 2004 the album 'Nancy Sinatra' was released, featuring an impressive mix of musicians influenced by her work including Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, U2, Pulp's Jarvis Cocker and her former LA next door neighbour Morrissey, with each artist writing a song for Nancy to perform.
In this interview recorded back in 2015, and never before aired, Nancy talks about her childhood, her first steps into the music business and her friendship with Elvis Presley. We also hear what it was like to work with the legendary Frank Sinatra, Lee Hazlewood, and session band The Wrecking Crew.
