Thanks to the Hyperion label and the work of accompanist Graham Johnson, I have the complete art songs of Schubert, Schumann, Chausson, and I've now started on Brahms. There are more favorites than I can count, especially with Schubert.

Let’s be honest. Nancy Sinatra didn’t have all that great a voice. Her father signed her to his label in 1961 as a favor, and she didn’t make much of a splash. Her breakthrough came when she met producer Lee Hazlewood. Reportedly he told her, “You’re divorced, and you’re not a virgin anymore. Don’t sound like one.” He was responsible for her image and her songs. This was her biggest success and came in at #2 this week.

This video is amazingly salacious for its era.
