Frank and Nancy Sinatra - Somethin’ Stupid (1967)
IMPORTANT NOTE: The audio and video of this is “out of sync.“ The audio and video are from two different sources. But, at least you can get an idea of how they look singing this #1 hit together.
“Somethin’ Stupid,“ also known as “Something Stupid,“ is a song written by C. Carson Parks. It was originally recorded in 1966 by Parks and his wife Gaile Foote, as Carson and Gaile. The song is best known in the 1967 version by Frank Sinatra and his daughter Nancy Sinatra, which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In 2001, a cover version by British vocalist Robbie Williams and Australian actress Nicole Kidman reached number one in the UK Singles Chart.
Nancy Sandra Sinatra (born June 8, 1940)] is an American singer and actress. She is the elder daughter of Frank Sinatra and Nancy (Barbato) Sinatra, and is widely known for her 1966 signature hit “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’“.
Other defining recordings include “Sugar Town“, the 1967 number one “Somethin’ Stupid“ (a duet with her father), the title song from the James Bond film You Only Live Twice, several collaborations with Lee Hazlewood such as “Jackson“, “Summer Wine“ and her cover of Cher’s “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)“. Nancy Sinatra began her career as a singer and actress in November 1957 with an appearance on her father’s ABC-TV variety series, but initially achieved success only in Europe and Japan. In early 1966 she had a transatlantic number-one hit with “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’“. She appeared on TV in high boots, and with colorfully dressed go-go dancers, creating a popular and enduring image of the Swinging Sixties. The song was written by Lee Hazlewood, who wrote and produced most of her hits and sang with her on several duets, including “Some Velvet Morning“. In 1966 and 1967, Sinatra charted with 13 titles, all of which featured Billy Strange as arranger and conductor.
Sinatra also had a brief acting career in the mid-1960s, including a co-starring role with Elvis Presley in the movie Speedway, and with Peter Fonda in The Wild Angels. In Marriage on the Rocks, Frank and Nancy Sinatra played a fictional father and daughter.
The Wrecking Crew is a 2008 American documentary film directed by Denny Tedesco, son of the great guitarist Tommy Tedesco. It covers the story of the Los Angeles–based group of session musicians usually known as “The Wrecking Crew,” famed for having played on numerous hit recordings throughout the 1960s and early 1970s. The film premiered at the 2008 “South by Southwest” Film Festival. It was not released theatrically until 2015.
Popular music of the 1960s was dominated by young bands like the Beach Boys, the Mamas & the Papas, Jan and Dean, and the Monkees. Listening to rock and roll on jukeboxes and car radios created devoted fans of these groups, whose music communicated the optimism and sorrow of a generation contending with strong countercultural forces.
Record companies happily supplied the public with new songs and musical groups, all packaged with artistic photographs and biographical profiles.
Left out of the story was an important historical fact: the bands, in some, but not all, cases, did NOT play the instruments heard on their records. Instead, the task of recording the perfect tempo, pitch, and timbre fell to a small group of accomplished session musicians.
The Wrecking Crew documents the work of studio players who recorded the tracks for such hits as “California Dreamin’“, “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’“, “Be My Baby“, “The Beat Goes On“, and “Good Vibrations“ Interviews with producers, engineers, and session musicians reveal the warmth and humor that allowed their collective talents to turn a simple chord chart into an international phenomenon.
