Nancy sinatra boots album download

Dear Nancy,

I would like to ask you a question concerning the song If He'd Love Me.

Was this song written especially for you or has it been recorded by any other artist previous to you?
I have not heard anyone else cover it.

I know that the song was written by Duane Eddy's then wife (M. Eddy) who later changed her name to Jessie Colter when she married Waylon Jennings.

I love your voice on this song.
It's a much softer and warmer song compared to the other songs on the album.

If He'd Love Me is amongst my favourite tracks on the BOOTS album, along with So Long, Babe, both songs appeared on the first single from the album.

Here is the German picture sleeve single (Reprise RA 0407) for So Long, Babe released in 1965.

It was Nancy's first to reach the Billboard 100.
It charted at number 86.

Nancy's "boots" can walk all over me, anytime.

Purchase Boots at Amazon.

Hi
I remember when "Boots" hit the streets in England.
I just spoke to a Lady in a shop in Hastings, who told me her
Father in law went mad for the song and took a train all the way from Hastings into London to buy it!
( He took her with him for company)
That's dedication to a song 'eh!
"Boots" was different. No doubt about it.
My theory about success in ANY field is more to do with the market
place than anything really.
You have to latch on to whatever is going down at the time.
(Either by design or pure luck i guess.)
Nancy hit the spot with "Boots".
It's easy to look back at a success story.
But to CREATE one now isn't so easy.
Why did "boots" get so big do you reckon?
Barry.

I would say because it had "attitude."
An attitude that had not been seen or heard before in pop.

Nancy kicked butt.

And continues to do so.

My experience at the Royal Festival Hall two weeks ago proved this.

Hello Lea
OUR Experience!

My Butt is still sore!
LOL
Bazza.
( great website you built Lea)

To me it was attitude, or the song itself along with Nancy's delivery of the lyrics and her look. She changed the face of fashion in the states with her mini skirts, eyeliner, and frosted lipstick (not to mention those incredible eyes, they melt you).

BOOTS was written by Lee to be sung by a male and Nancy decided it was a woman's song. The time when the song was recorded, there weren't any "white" girls singing songs about anything other than my boyfiend, my true love, my girlie girlie images all wrapped up in pretty paper and demure as a baby's butt.

Nancy changed that and paved the road for those who followed. She never got the recognition she deserved(s) and most likely will have an uphill battle trying to do so.

I hope this isn't too far off the subject, I just get so passionate about her and how much she contributed and continues to contribute to the music industry and she gets knocked from all sides doing so.

My favorite quote of Nancy's is "I'll never be the man my father was" and that speaks louder than any paragraph I could write on the forum.

Keep rockin' Nancy. You are loved.

Hi Dan
I agree with all of that but for one thing only
I do think that Nancy DID get the recognition she deserved
with "Boots"
You ask ANYBODY in England, for example about Nancy?
She sang that song:- "Boots are made for walking" they all say.
we all remember that impact even now.
It was a long time ago also.
Sometimes, an artist might hate to have a tune stuck on her / him like a label.
But you do need something to get you up there in the first place.
"Boots" did that for Nancy.
The image I had, was of a Powerful woman, walking all over some guy who didn't cut the mustard with her.
Women do run the planet even if men don't think they do.
Women have the ultimate power.
Nancy expressed Woman's power up front.
That was her great contribution I think.
Barry.

Perhaps what I should have included is the FACT that Nancy had 21 songs on the charts. When her name is mentioned in the music industry, BOOTS, or she sang that song about BOOTS, is all you hear.

That pisses me off.

The powers that be should listen to FRIDAY'S CHILD, 99 MILES, SHE WON'T, HOME, and I could go on and on.

I'm not knocking what you said, I am saying Nancy will NEVER be recognized for the artist she is, unless SOMEONE, SOME POWERS that be, come into the light, and say HEY, look at this body of work, don't just look at Boots, there is more to Nancy than singing a song about something you wear on your feet.

I think you would agree with this observation.

Hi Dan
I have the "Nancy & Lee" CD, the "sheet music" cd and the
"How does it feel" cd. All now signed by Nancy two weeks ago today. ( Not a great deal of Nancy I know) I do have books and videos also.
There are some great tracks in those Cd's.
If you talk about the MILLIONS of people wo go out and buy music
even if you only got a small percentage of them to buy your stuff, you could make a killing.
My questions relate to HOW do they get the hear you or see you
in order to know that you have stuff to sell?.
I am SURE that if Nancy was in their face, her stuff would go.
I remember seeing Nancy on TV with the high boots on ,WALKING
towards the camera just as she was singing "OK BOOTS,
START WALKING". That impact was unforgetable.
A great looking young Lady. The song. Her voice. Those BOOTS.
Success comes if ALL the conditions are right.
In that instance, they were.
Lift off.
But to repeat it isn't easy.
High profile is necessary I believe.
An individual just can't afford that kind of promotion to get to millions of people.
The scene in music, with computerisation, has changed so much in recent years.
It's just not the same world now.
Nancy has all the attributes going for her for more great success
I think.
But isn't it tough getting it ALL together to make it go again.

I remember even in Frank's day, he had to get up to all kinds of tricks to stay at the top once he got up there.
It's more "A business" I think that most people realise.
From what i saw of Nancy in London, there is no reason at all why she shouldn't click again.
She clicked with me.
I'm STILL in a daze!

Hi Uwe
There you go...
Nancy is out there somewhere!
You get the "feeling" that she is there
in the air all the time.
Like a white, fluffy cloud.
Little other clouds gently join the main cloud.
Gradually, that cloud gets bigger and bigger.
Then it gets heavy with much needed rain to
get all those crops a-growing.
WHOOSH....
One fine day she will pour down all over the world.

I ain't putting my umberella up either!

Bazza.

The argument here is not between us, we both are Nancy fans and love her music.

I am simply saying that Nancy's peers in the industry have never given her the recognition she deserves. I get so tired or reading articles about her that call her a ONE hit wonder, or refer to her as Nancy (Boots) Sinatra. I will never understand why this happens.

Perhaps because not only opening doors, her last name closes some also?

We (you and I) appreciate Nancy's music and the joy it brings into our lives.

I often refer to Nancy's recordings as the soundtrack of my life, and as long as I can breath, it will always be that way.
