I didn’t know the backstory on this and hoo boy are you right. If a man had sung this we would not be discussing it in 2024 except for how awful it is haha
Love Nancy! Her TV duet with her father is precious. But about Lee "Phil Spector, who began his career working for Lee Hazlewood. 'Phil had just started to make records and he came over to Phoenix....'" Always thought that was a cool anecdote. Before he became the notorious gun nutter Phil changed the recording business he learned about Echo effects from Lee.
This was a wonderful read! I love how you delved into the song’s backstory and highlighted Nancy Sinatra’s role in turning it into a classic. The song's evolution from its intended form to a feminist anthem is fascinating.
Lee Hazlewood has written some fantastic songs. Sure, he had some corny ones and questionable ones along the way, but also some classics like My Autumn’s Done Come, Summer Wine, After Six. And that baritone voice. I love it.
The 2002 compilation “These Boots Are Made For Walkin' (The Complete MGM Recordings)” has some real gems.

Great additional context, thanks Steve.

Interesting backstory !
Tis indeed. Thanks for reading!
Loved the song before 1997, but ever since that summer, it's always reminded me of "Austin Powers."

Frank's daughter carved her own independent reputation with this song.
Thanks for reading and commenting! I almost used the Ed Sullivan appearance as the video embed too. 😆
