Nancy Sinatra – 81

Nancy Sinatra became a notable name for the uplifting 1966 chart-topper These Boots Are Made for Walkin‘. She managed to create a sound and style that was entirely distinct from her renowned father. She returned to the singles list over a dozen more times with her rock, country, and pop combination.

Sinatra grew up in the spotlight as the daughter of show business royalty. It wasn’t long before she realized she wanted to be a performer herself. In 1960, she made her professional debut on a television program presented by her father. Sinatra’s strong-willed, go-go boots-wearing reputation lasted through acting roles. Although her acting career was short, she gained a degree of notoriety by starring renowned people in popular films. She took a long hiatus from her professional life in the 1980s, but she returned as motivated as ever and, despite her old age, continues to contribute to the music industry.
