Nancy Sinatra

American singer Nancy Sinatra, the daughter of legendary crooner Frank Sinatra, was born on June 8, 1940. Nancy's No. 1 hit single in 1966, "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'," forever associated go-go boots with her name. After a brief hiatus in the 1980s to help raise her family, Sinatra returned to the music scene in 1995. She continues to work in the music industry today.Nancy Sinatra was born on June 8, 1940, in Jersey City, New Jersey. She was the eldest of three children born to famed crooner Frank Sinatra and his wife, Nancy Barbato Sinatra.When Hollywood called, the family moved to Toluca Lake, California. It was a happy childhood, with Sinatra showing great interest in the creative arts. She took lessons for 11 years in piano, eight years in dance, five years in dramatic performance and several months in voice. These classes served her well in the development of her career.Sinatra started her career in 1960, debuting on The Frank Sinatra Timex Show. Within the year Reprise Records signed her, but though she was popular in Europe and Japan, none of her songs made the U.S. charts. Things turned around in 1966 when, armed with a new tough and sexy image, she hit No. 1 with her single, "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'." Sinatra's popularity and looks made her a favorite pinup for GIs during the Vietnam War. Nancy in turn supported the troops by performing for them overseas. In the 1970s she continued to record songs, but pulled out of the spotlight to raise her family. In addition to singing, Sinatra wrote two books about her famous father: Frank Sinatra, My Father (1985) and Frank Sinatra: An American Legend (1998).Sinatra married teen singing idol Tommy Sands in 1960, and they divorced just a few years later. In 1970 she married Hugh Lambert and briefly stepped out of the spotlight to raise her two daughters. Lambert died from cancer in 1985. During the Vietnam War Sinatra supported the troops, something she continued to do over the decades. In 2006 the USO of Chicago honored her with the Heart of a Patriot Award, and the following year the Vietnam Veterans of America presented her with their President’s Award for Excellence in the Arts. https://od.lk/fl/NjlfNjg0NjQ4Xw
