(481) NANCY SINATRA'S BOOTS WERE MADE FOR WALKIN'
A while back we posted on Nancy Sinatra when she was one of the guests on the TV program that featured Elvis Presley and her father, Frank Sinatra, The Welcome Back Special. Elvis had just returned to the United States from Germany and the United States Army.
"Are you ready boots? Start Walkin!" These words are so associated with Nancy, who chose to record songs on Frank's Reprise label (where my friend Jimmy Bowen became a producer) that portrayed her as a take-charge, in control, and liberated woman. The song was written for her by Lee Hazelwood and it became a number one hit in the United States and the United Kingdom, making Nancy one more American who Invaded Britain.
No doubt initially aided by her loving dad, Nancy, who appeared on the Welcome Back Special in what was a prim prom-gown kind of dress, had moved with the times, the early 1960's and the dancing Go Go Girls.
Now Nancy has her own site, but we found it down, and we think it may be bombarded because of the news recently that a son of Mia Farrow's may be Franks. We proceeded to the Sinatra Family site and same thing.
So we're going to post the links for you here and hopefully when you try them, they'll be up!

Lee Hazelwood passed away in 2007. Here's a link to some good career information for the man who was known to be a rugged individualist!

(473) HOLLAND -DOZIER - HOLLAND COMPOSERS OF OVER 200 SONGS
We wrote about some famous rock and roll classics songwriters like David Gates a while back, but you may not know about the three sonwriters so associated with Motown. Lamont Dozier, Brian Holland and Eddie Holland are the men. Songs they wrote are still being placed with artists today and that's the way to keep those royalties coming in for years!

(441) THE BLOSSOMS : FREQUENT MUSICAL ARTISTS ON SHINDIG : DARLENE LOVE AND THE WALL OF SOUND
BLOSSOMS HISTORY OF ROCK link here!
They were the background group on so many popular records, working for Elvis Presley, Bobby Darin, and so many others. The writer of this article is right when he says they were the most unknown successful group there was!
The Blossoms covered so many songs and were frequent guests on the Shindig television show as performing artists. In the studio they are probably most famous for working with music producer Phil Spector and his Wall of Sound. You know them for the song "He's The Rebel." Here is just one of so very many videos presently on YouTube featuring their performances.
Now, over the years there were a number of different women who worked as a Blossom. Darlene Love is the Blossom most mentioned. Check our previous posts about the Blossoms and Darlene, using the Google Blogger search feature!
The Rock and Roll hall of Fame also Inducted Darlene Love in 2011, age 70, after a career of 50 years! Below the link to the bio and a long but very funny and very touching video of
