Nancy sang as part of a duo in one of the most unusual songs of the 1960’s. It was called “Some Velvet Morning/Phaedra”, written and accompanied by Lee Hazelwood. To use the old lingo; the song was ‘trippy’.

That was the "Nancy and Lee" album. I have it - it's actually quite good. "Some Velvet Morning" is indeed "trippy". "Summer Wine" and "Elusive Dreams" are downright poignant. Granted, the lyrics are nowhere near Leonard Cohen or Bob Dylan quality, and Nancy Sinatra's vocals could have been done by just about any female singer. What made the album was their juxtaposition with Lee Hazelwood's vocals. That's what provided the unique quality to the album. Well, the cover art on the album jacket helped, too.

I was reading Lee Hazlewood’s bio a few minutes ago, helped pen “Rebel Rouser” and other known songs/instrumentals.

So, I should listen to more of his music. The album you suggested sounds good.

And of course, Vanilla Fudge did “Some Velvet Morning”. I’ve heard it.
