“Nancy Sinatra is the First Lady of Rock and roll,” Rodney Bingenheimer, KROQ DJ. In the mid 1960s, with songs like “So Long Babe” and ‘”How Does that Grab You, Darlin’?”, Nancy Sinatra took the image of a girl crying over her diary for a boy who wouldn’t behave and changed it to a woman who let her men know, in no uncertain terms, just how things were going to be. “These Boots Are Made For Walkin’” kicked open the doors for a whole new category of women in music. Nancy’s tough girl attitude preceded women’s liberation and created the first rebel chick singer. The era of the female rocker was born. Nancy has scored more than 24 chart hits in the US and Internationally and become a role model for young, independent women as well as an icon of pop culture. The latest CD release of new recordings, on the ATTACK/Sanctuary Records label, is the self-titled “Nancy Sinatra”, a series of collaborations with recording artists such as Morrissey, Jon Spencer, Reno, Calexico, Sonic Youth, Pete Yorn, Steve Van Zandt and Jarvis Cocker, released in September 2004. In late 2005, Audio Bullys built a new song around Nancy’s recording of “Bang, Bang” titled “Shot You Down”, which quickly reached 1 in the UK, becoming Nancy’s first hit on the dance charts. THE ESSENTIAL NANCY SINATRA, a collection of 26 songs covering 5 decades of Nancy’s recordings, was released in the UK and Europe, on March 13th 2006, by EMI. It includes the unreleased 1970’s track “Machine Gun Kelly”, in addition to many of the hits and a few fan favorites. Nancy received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, May 11th 2006, in recognition of her career achievements and her contributions to society.
