Pulling on her transformative boots in 1966, Nancy Sinatra not only kick-started a new and sexy blend of mod fashion and pop music, she made bassline guitar strides-with hard-marching lyrics to match-toward female empowerment. The distinctive hit single "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" became Nancy's irresistible signature song, and a feminist anthem, decade after decade.A cool, mini-skirted, all-American counterpoint to the British Invasion, Nancy was a global sensation: an unexpected rhythm vixen, presented in a "switched on" package of platinum-over-ebony hair, lush layers of lash, swoops of eyeliner, and leggy hemlines. Today, her influence as a style icon is constantly referenced in magazines, on the fashion runways, and through social media homages.This ultimate pictorial retrospective is a visual journey through Nancy's life and career, highlighting her international hits; her collaborations with Lee Hazlewood, Elvis Presley, and Frank Sinatra; her movies and TV appearances; her family life; and her work as an activist on behalf of Vietnam veterans.Presented through a wealth of never-before-seen or published photographs-most scanned and digitally restored from their original negatives and transparencies-from acclaimed lensmen including Milton Greene, Terry O'Neill, Ron Joy, Bob Willoughby, John Engstead, and Ed Thrasher, the book also includes personal photos from Nancy's family album; photos taken by Nancy during her 1967 USO tour of South Vietnam; album and magazine covers; film posters and lobby cards; and appreciations by Bob Dylan, Madonna, Quentin Tarantino, Morrissey, and many others.Featuring a personal foreword by Nancy, an introduction by Deborah Harry, and an extended interview with Nancy by her daughter Amanda Erlinger, Nancy Sinatra: One for Your Dreams captures not only the spirit of the woman and her sixty-year recording and performance career, but her continued resonance as an innovative pop/rock artist revered by contemporary musicians.
