The Sheet Music item was part of the collection of Henry J. Hauschild Jr., who billed himself as a “Physiognomist – Bibliopolist – Cognoscente di Eccellentissimo”, and was the very proud owner of the world famous "Nose Gallery” at “The Oldest House” in Victoria, Texas. Henry Senior founded the Hauschild Music Company which was later owned by his 8 children and eventually the four brothers before being closed in 1980; After the Opera House Restaurant failed, the space became the Bible Book Store and later Opera House Antiques; This item was part of the leftover inventory of the Music Store and at one time was on consignment at the Bible Book Store;

"Musicologist and historian, Delmer Rogers, longtime member of the staff of the Department of Music at the University of Texas, is of the opinion that the Hauschild Music Company, founded in Victoria, Texas in 1891, was the second oldest institution to commercially publish sheet music in Texas. (Thos. Goggan of Houston being the first.) Also, his extensive research indicates that Hauschild's was the first in Texas to issues music with Spanish titles. About thirty were published, many by talented writers, and sold in large numbers. In addition, probing seems to prove that Hauschilds was the first to publish the efforts of several of the music-loving Germans of the area. Most interesting, too, is that the spritely composition, the Cowboy Rag offered in 1904 possibly was the purcursor of this genre of popular music." taken from "The Cognoscenti Collections";

HISTORICAL NOTE: ""Jackson" is a song written by Jerry Leiber & Billy Edd Wheeler about a married couple who find (according to the lyrics) that the "fire" has gone out of their relationship. The song relates the desire of both partners to travel to a city named "Jackson" where they each expect to be welcomed as someone far better suited to the city's lively night life than the other is. 'Jackson' came to me when I read the script for Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (I was too broke to see the play on Broadway)...When I played it for Jerry [Leiber], he said 'Your 1st verses suck,' or words to that effect. 'Throw them away & start the song with your last verse, "We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout."' When I protested to Jerry that I couldn't start the song with the climax, he said, 'Oh, yes you can.' So I rewrote the song & thanks to Jerry's editing & help, it worked. I recorded the song on my 1st Kapp Records album, with Joan Sommer, an old friend from Berea, Kentucky, singing the woman's part. Johnny Cash learned the song from that album, A New Bag of Songs, produced by Jerry & Mike. Gaby Rodgers is frequently cited as co-author of "Jackson", because Jerry Leiber used his then-wife's name as a pseudonym in writing the song with Wheeler. The song appeared on The Kingston Trio album Sunny Side!, released in 1963. Since the dialogue in this version is between father & son, the lyrics differ slightly from later recorded versions. Johnny Cash & June Carter won a Grammy Award in 1968 for their recording of the song. Johnny Cash also sang it with Miss Piggy when he appeared on The Muppet Show as part of a medley with "Orange Blossom Special" also being included. The song was performed by Joaquin Phoenix & Reese Witherspoon (playing Johnny Cash & June Carter) in the 2005 film Walk the Line. Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood also recorded a version of the song that charted at #14 in 1967. The song was featured in the 1967 TV special: Movin' With Nancy, starring Nancy Sinatra, released to home video in 2000. Jenny Morris & INXS also recorded a version in 1983. The Pleasure Barons, a project featuring Mojo Nixon, Dave Alvin & Country Dick Montana, covered the song on the 1993 album, Live in Las Vegas. The song was also covered by British band Brakes (as a duet with Liela Moss of The Duke Spirit) on their debut 2005 album, Give Blood. Country music parodist Cledus T. Judd recorded a parody called "Jackson (Alan That Is)" on his 1996 album I Stoled This Record. The parody deals with a man who is frustrated over his wife's obsession with Alan Jackson; the parody also includes snippets from Alan's 1994 song "Chattahoochee". The band Pansy Division also did a parody cover for their 1995 album Pile Up. A Swedish language version uses the Swedish place Laxå. Yet another cover was released in 2004 by Hem on their album Eveningland. This version of the song has a different mood entirely from the famous Johnny & June recording; instead of sassy & uncaring, this recording is slow, sad, & regretful. Die Toten Hosen has covered the song. Pepper Sprout, a Midwestern gourmet restaurant in Dubuque, Iowa, was named after the lyrics in "Jackson".";

HISTORICAL NOTE: "Billy Edward "Edd" Wheeler (born December 9, 1932, Boone County, West Virginia) is an American songwriter, performer, writer & visual artist. He has written songs performed by over 90 different artists including Judy Collins, Bobby Darin, The Kingston Trio, Johnny Cash, Neil Young, Kenny Rogers, & Elvis Presley. One of his co-writers, on the song "Hadn't Been For Baby" recorded by Soul group The Relatives, was noted singer-songwriter Jimmy Radcliffe. Wheeler is also author of 16 plays. These include several long-running outdoor dramas such as Hatfields & McCoys at Beckley, West Virginia & Young Abe Lincoln in Lincoln City, Indiana. Wheeler is a member of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. He has received 13 awards from ASCAP, won distinguished Allumnus awards from Warren Wilson College & Berea College, the "Best Appalachian Poetry" award from Morris Harvey College & a "Pacesetter Award for Music & Drama" from Billboard Magazine.";

HISTORICAL NOTE: "Lyricist Jerome "Jerry" Leiber (born April 25, 1933) and composer Mike Stoller (born March 13, 1933) are among the most influential American songwriters & record producers in post-World War II popular music. Their 1st successes were as the writers of such crossover hit songs as "Hound Dog" & "Kansas City." Later in the 1950s, particularly through their work with The Coasters, they created a string of ground-breaking hits that are some of the most entertaining in rock & roll, by using the humorous vernacular of the teenagers sung in a style that was openly theatrical rather than personal, songs that include "Young Blood," "Searchin'," & "Yakety Yak." They were the 1st to surround black music with elaborate production values, enhancing its emotional power with The Drifters in "There Goes My Baby" & influencing Phil Spector who worked with them on recordings of The Drifters & Ben E. King. Leiber & Stoller went into the record business &, focusing on the "girl group" sound, released some of the greatest classics of the Brill Building period. They wrote hits including "Love Me," "Loving You," "Don't," "Jailhouse Rock," & "King Creole," among others for Elvis Presley. They were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1985 & Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. They currently live separately in Los Angeles, California. Leiber came from Baltimore, Stoller from Long Island, but they met in Los Angeles in 1950, where Stoller was a freshman at Los Angeles City College while Leiber was a senior at Fairfax High. Stoller had graduated from Belmont High School. After school, Stoller played piano & Leiber worked in a record store &, when they met, they found they shared a love of blues & rhythm & blues. In 1950, Jimmy Witherspoon recorded & performed their 1st commercial song, "Real Ugly Woman." Their 1st hit composition was "Hard Times," recorded by Charles Brown, which was a rhythm & blues hit in 1952. "Kansas City," which was also recorded in 1952 (as "K. C. Loving") by Little Willie Littlefield, became a No. 1 hit in 1959 for Wilbert Harrison. In 1952, they wrote "Hound Dog" for Big Mama Thornton, which became a hit for her in 1953; it became a much bigger hit for Elvis Presley in 1956, which was a takeoff version of the song that Presley picked up from Freddie Bell's lounge act in Las Vegas. His showstopping mock-burlesque version of "Hound Dog," playfully bumping & grinding on the Milton Berle Show, created such public excitement that on the Steve Allen Show they slowed down his act, with an amused Presley in a tuxedo & blue suede shoes singing his hit to a basset hound. Allen pronounced Presley "a good sport"; & the Leiber-Stoller song would be forever linked to Presley. Their later songs often had lyrics more appropriate for pop music, & their combination of rhythm & blues with pop lyrics revolutionized pop, rock & roll & punk rock. They formed Spark Records in 1953 with their mentor, Lester Sill. Their songs from this period include "Smokey Joe's Cafe" & "Riot in Cell Block #9," both recorded by The Robins. The label was later bought by Atlantic Records, which hired Leiber & Stoller in an innovative deal that allowed them to produce for other labels. This, in effect, made them the 1st independent record producers. At Atlantic, they revitalized the careers of the Drifters & wrote a number of hits for The Coasters, a spin-off of The Robins. Their songs from this period include "Charlie Brown," "Searchin'," "Yakety Yak," "Stand By Me" (written with Ben E. King), & "On Broadway" (written with Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil). For the Coasters alone, they wrote twenty-four songs that appeared in the US charts. In 1955, Leiber & Stoller produced a recording of their song, "Black Denim Trousers & Motorcycle Boots," with the white vocal group, The Cheers. Soon after, the song was recorded by Édith Piaf in a French translation titled, "L'Homme à la Moto." The European royalties from another Cheers record, "Bazoom (I Need Your Lovin')," funded a 1956 trip to Europe for Stoller and his 1st wife, Meryl, on which they met Piaf. Their return to New York was aboard the ill-fated SS Andrea Doria, which was rammed & sunk by the Swedish liner MS Stockholm. The Stollers had to finish the journey to New York without the ship. After their rescue, Leiber greeted Stoller at the dock with the news that "Hound Dog" had become a hit for Presley. Stoller's reply was, "Elvis who?" They would go on to write more hits for Presley, including the title songs for three of his movies—Loving You, Jailhouse Rock, & King Creole—as well as the rock & roll Christmas song, "Santa Claus Is Back in Town," for Presley's 1st Christmas album. In the early 1960s, Phil Spector served an apprenticeship of sorts with Leiber & Stoller in New York, developing his record producer's craft while assisting & playing guitar on their sessions, including "On Broadway." After leaving the employ of Atlantic Records, where they produced, & often wrote, many classic recordings by The Drifters & Ben E. King, they produced a series of records for United Artists' record wing. They produced hits by Jay & the Americans ("She Cried"), The Exciters ("Tell Him"), & The Clovers ("Love Potion #9," also written by Leiber & Stoller.) In the 1960s, Leiber & Stoller founded & briefly owned Red Bird Records, which issued the Shangri-Las' "Leader of the Pack" & the Dixie Cups' "Chapel of Love." After selling Red Bird, they continued working as independent producers & writing songs. Their best known song from this period is "Is That All There Is?" recorded by Peggy Lee in 1969; earlier in the decade, they had had a minor hit with Lee with "I'm a Woman." Their last major hit production was "Stuck In the Middle With You," by Stealers Wheel in 1972. In 1975, they recorded an album of art songs with Peggy Lee, entitled Mirrors. A remixed & expanded version of this album was released in 2005 as Peggy Lee Sings Leiber & Stoller. In the late seventies, A&M Records recruited Leiber & Stoller to write & produce an album for Elkie Brooks. The album Two Days Away (1977) proved a success in the UK & most of Europe. Their composition "Pearl's A Singer" (written with Ralph Dino & John Sembello) became a hit for Brooks, & remains her signature tune. They produced another album for her, Live & Learn, in 1979. Mezzo-soprano Joan Morris & her pianist-composer husband William Bolcom have recorded an album, Other Songs by Leiber & Stoller, featuring a number of their more unusual (& satiric) works (including "Let's Bring Back World War I," written specifically for them, & "Humphrey Bogart," a tongue-in-cheek song about obsession with the actor.) In 1982, Donald Fagen recorded their song, "Ruby Baby," on his album, The Nightfly. Coincidentally that same year, former Steely Dan member Michael McDonald released I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near), adapted from Leiber & Stoller's I Keep Forgettin'. With collaborator Artie Butler, Stoller wrote the music to the musical Laughing Matters, with book & lyrics by Iris Rainer Dart. They won Grammy awards for "Is That All There Is?" in 1969, & for the cast album of Smokey Joe's Cafe, a 1995 Broadway musical revue based on their work. Smokey Joe's Cafe was also nominated for seven Tony awards, & became the longest-running musical revue in Broadway history. In the 1950s the rhythm & blues of the black entertainment world, up to then restricted to black clubs, was increasing its audience-share in areas previously reserved for traditional pop music, & the phenomenon now known as "crossover" became apparent. Leiber & Stoller affected the course of modern popular music in 1957 when they wrote & produced the crossover double-sided hit by The Coasters, "Young Blood"/"Searchin'." They released "Yakety Yak," which was a mainstream hit, as was the follow-up, "Charlie Brown." This was followed by "Along Came Jones," "Poison Ivy," "Shoppin' for Clothes," & "Little Egypt (Ying-Yang)." They produced & co-wrote "There Goes My Baby," a hit for The Drifters in 1959, which introduced the use of strings for saxophone-like riffs & lavish production values into the established black R&B sound, laying the groundwork for the soul music that would follow. In 2009, Simon & Schuster published Hound Dog: The Leiber & Stoller Autobiography, written by Leiber & Stoller with David Ritz.";

HISTORICAL NOTE: "Lee Hazlewood (July 9, 1929 – August 4, 2007), born Barton Lee Hazlewood was an American country & pop singer, songwriter, & record producer, most widely known for his work with guitarist Duane Eddy during the late fifties & singer Nancy Sinatra in the sixties. Hazlewood had a distinctive baritone voice that added an ominous resonance to his music. Hazlewood's collaborations with Nancy Sinatra as well as his solo output in the late 1960s & early 1970s have been praised as an essential contribution to a sound often described as "Cowboy Psychedelia" or "Saccharine Underground". The son of an oil man, Hazlewood was born in Mannford, Oklahoma & spent most of youth living between Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, & Louisiana. He grew up listening to pop & bluegrass music. Hazlewood spent his teenage years in Port Neches, Texas where he was exposed to a rich Gulf Coast music tradition. Hazlewood studied for a medical degree at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. He served with the US Army during the Korean War. Following discharge from the military, Hazlewood worked as a disc jockey in Arizona while honing his songwriting skills. His 1st hit as a producer & songwriter was "The Fool", recorded by rockabilly artist Sanford Clark in 1956. Hazlewood partnered with pioneering rock guitarist Duane Eddy, producing & cowriting an unprecedented string of hit instrumental records, including "Peter Gunn", "Boss Guitar", "40 Miles Of Bad Road", "Shazam!", "Rebel Rouser" & "[Dance With The] Guitar Man". Hazlewood is perhaps best known for having written & produced the 1966 Nancy Sinatra U.S./UK #1 hit, "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" & "Summer Wine". He also wrote "How Does That Grab Ya, Darlin'", "Friday's Child", "So Long, Babe, "Sugar Town" & many others for Sinatra. Among his most well-known vocal performances is Some Velvet Morning, a 1967 duet with Nancy Sinatra. Hazlewood performed that song along with "Jackson" & "See the Little Children" on her 1967 television special Movin' With Nancy. He wrote the theme song "The Last of the Secret Agents" for the 1966 spy-spoof film. Nancy Sinatra, who had a role in the film, recorded the song for the soundtrack. For Frank Sinatra's 1967 detective movie, Tony Rome, Hazlewood also wrote the theme song which was performed by Nancy. He also wrote "Houston", a 1965 U.S. hit recorded by Dean Martin. This Town, a song that was recorded by Frank Sinatra that appeared on his 1969 Greatest Hits album, was written by Hazlewood. Though it did not receive much attention at the time, Hazlewood also worked with Gram Parsons & the International Submarine Band in the mid 1960s. Gram Parsons's departure from the band & decision to become part of The Byrds, created legal problems with Hazlewood. In the 1970s Hazlewood moved to Stockholm, Sweden, where he wrote & produced the one-hour television show Cowboy in Sweden together with friend & Director Torbjörn Axelman , which also later emerged as an album. Hazlewood was semi-retired from the music business during the 1970s & '80s. However, his own output also achieved a cult status in the underground rock scene, with songs covered by artists such as Vanilla Fudge, Lydia Lunch, Primal Scream, Entombed, Einstürzende Neubauten, Nick Cave, Hooverphonic, Anita Lane, Megadeth, Beck, The Tubes, Thin White Rope & Slowdive. In 2006, Hazlewood sang on Bela B.'s 1st solo album, Bingo, on the song "Lee Hazlewood und das erste Lied des Tages" ("Lee Hazlewood & the 1st song of the day"). He said that he loved producing & writing albums. In 2005 he was diagnosed with terminal renal cancer, yet undertook an extensive round of interviews & promotional activities in support of his last album, Cake or Death. His last recording was for the vocals of Icelandic quartet Amiina's single "Hilli (At The Top Of The World)". Hazlewood died of renal cancer in Henderson, Nevada on August 4, 2007, survived by his wife Jeane, son Mark & daughters Debbie & Samantha.";

HISTORICAL NOTE: "Nancy Sandra Sinatra (born June 8, 1940) is an American singer & actress. She is the daughter of singer/actor Frank Sinatra, & remains known for her 1966 signature hit "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" & her cover of Cher's "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" (lyrics & music by Sonny Bono), which was used as the opening sequence theme in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill. Her other popular recordings include "Sugar Town", "How Does That Grab You, Darlin'?" & the theme from the James Bond film, You Only Live Twice. Sinatra began her career as a singer & actress in the early 1960s, but initially achieved success only in Europe & Japan. Then she had a transatlantic number-one hit with "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'", which showed her provocative but good-natured style, & which popularized & made her synonymous with go-go boots. The promo clip featured a big-haired Sinatra & six young women in tight tops, go-go boots & mini-skirts. The song was written by Lee Hazlewood, who wrote & produced most of her hits & sang with her on several duets, including "Some Velvet Morning". In 1966 & 1967, Sinatra charted with 13 titles, all of which featured Billy Strange as arranger & conductor. In 1967 she paired with her father, Frank Sinatra, for her 2nd number-one single, "Somethin' Stupid". She also co-starred with Elvis Presley in the movie Speedway. Sinatra was born in Jersey City, New Jersey, the daughter of singer/actor Frank Sinatra from his 1st wife, Nancy Barbato. For her 4th birthday, Phil Silvers & Jimmy Van Heusen wrote the song "Nancy (With the Laughing Face)", which her father recorded. In the late 1950s, Sinatra began to study music, dancing, & voice at the University of California in Los Angeles. She dropped out after a year, & made her professional debut in 1960 on her father's television special with Elvis Presley, home from the army. Nancy was sent to the airport on behalf of her father to welcome Elvis when his plane landed. On the special, Nancy & her father danced & sang a duet, "You Make Me Feel So Young/Old". That same year she began a five-year marriage to Tommy Sands. Sinatra was signed to her father's label, Reprise Records, in 1961. Her 1st single, "Cuff Links & a Tie Clip", went unnoticed. However, subsequent singles charted in Europe & Japan. Without a hit in the U.S. by 1965, she was on the verge of being dropped. Her singing career received a boost with the help of songwriter/producer/arranger Lee Hazlewood, who had been making records for ten years, notably with Duane Eddy. Hazlewood became Sinatra's inspiration. He had her sing in a lower key & crafted pop songs for her. Bolstered by an image overhaul — including bleached-blonde hair, frosted lips, heavy eye make-up & Carnaby Street fashions — Sinatra made her mark on the American (& British) music scene in early 1966 with "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'", its title inspired by a line in Robert Aldrich's 1963 western comedy 4 for Texas starring her father & Dean Martin. One of her many hits written by Hazlewood, it received three Grammy Award nominations, including two for Sinatra & one for arranger Billy Strange. It sold over one million copies, & was awarded a gold disc. It is stated that EILEEN's version is used more than the original recording. The song has been covered by artists such as Geri Halliwell, Megadeth, Jessica Simpson, Lil' Kim, Little Birdy, Billy Ray Cyrus, Faster Pussycat, KMFDM, Symarip (band), Operation Ivy & the Del Rubio Triplets & The Supremes. A run of chart singles followed, including the two 1966 Top 10 hits "How Does That Grab You, Darlin'?" (#7) & "Sugar Town" (#5). "Sugar Town" became her 2nd million seller. The ballad "Somethin' Stupid" — a duet with father — hit #1 in the U.S. & the UK in April 1967 & spent nine weeks at the top of Billboard's easy listening chart. It earned a Grammy Award nomination for Record of the Year & remains the only father-daughter duet to hit No.1 in the U.S. It became Sinatra's 3rd million selling disc. Other 45s showing her forthright delivery include "Friday’s Child" (#36, 1966), & the 1967 hits "Love Eyes" (#15) & "Lightning’s Girl" (#24). She rounded out 1967 with the raunchy but low-charting "Tony Rome" (#83) — the title track from the detective film Tony Rome starring her father — while her 1st solo single in 1968 was the more wistful "100 Years" (#69). Sinatra enjoyed a parallel recording career cutting duets with the husky-voiced, country-&-western-inspired Hazlewood, starting with "Summer Wine" (originally the B-side of "Sugar Town"). Their biggest hit was a cover of the country song, "Jackson". The single peaked at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the summer of 1967, when Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash also made the song their own. In December they released the "MOR"-psychedelic single "Some Velvet Morning", regarded as one of the more unusual singles in pop, & the peak of Sinatra & Hazlewood’s vocal collaborations. It reached #26 in the USA. The promo clip is, like the song, sui generis. The British broadsheet The Daily Telegraph placed "Some Velvet Morning" in pole position in its 2003 list of the Top 50 Best Duets Ever. ("Somethin' Stupid" ranked number 27). In 1967 she recorded the theme song for the James Bond film You Only Live Twice. In the liner notes of the CD reissue of her 1966 album, Nancy In London, Sinatra states that she was "scared to death" of recording the song, & asked the songwriters: "Are you sure you don't want Shirley Bassey?" There are two versions of the Bond theme. The 1st is the lushly orchestrated track featured during the opening & closing credits of the film. The 2nd – & more guitar-heavy — version appeared on the double A-sided single with "Jackson", though the Bond theme stalled at #44 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 1966 & 1967 Sinatra traveled to Vietnam to perform for the troops. Many U.S. soldiers adopted her song "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" as their anthem, as shown in Pierre Schoendoerffer's academy award winning documentary The Anderson Platoon (1967) & reprised in a scene in Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket (1987). Sinatra recorded several anti-war songs, including "My Buddy", featured on her album Sugar, "Home", co-written by Mac Davis, & "It's Such A Lonely Time of Year", which appeared on the 1968 LP The Sinatra Family Wish You a Merry Christmas. In 1988 Sinatra recreated her Vietnam concert appearances on an episode of the television show China Beach. Today, Sinatra still performs for charitable causes supporting U.S. veterans who served in Vietnam, including Rolling Thunder Inc.. Sinatra starred in three teen musicals (otherwise known as 'beach party' films) - For Those Who Think Young (1964); Get Yourself a College Girl (1964); & The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini (1966), the latter of which she had a singing role (She was also scheduled to appear in the role that went to Linda Evans in Beach Blanket Bingo, but was unable). Also in 1966, she starred in Roger Corman's The Wild Angels with Peter Fonda & Bruce Dern, & 1968 she shared the screen with Elvis Presley in Speedway. She was the only singer to have a solo song on an Elvis album or soundtrack while he was still alive. Since his death, several previously unreleased Ann-Margret solo recordings have appeared on Elvis albums, but Sinatra was the 1st. She also made appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., & Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, The Virginian & starred in television specials. These include the Emmy-nominated 1966 Frank Sinatra special A Man & His Music - Part II, & the 1967 Emmy-winning special Movin' With Nancy, in which she appeared with Lee Hazlewood, her father & his Rat Pack pals Dean Martin & Sammy Davis, Jr., with a cameo appearance by her brother Frank Sinatra, Jr.. Sinatra remained with Reprise until 1970. In 1971, she signed with RCA, resulting in three albums: Nancy & Lee – Again (1971), Woman (1972), & a compilation of some of her Reprise recordings under the title This Is Nancy Sinatra (1973). That year she released a non-LP single, "Sugar Me" b/w "Ain't No Sunshine". The former was written by Lynsey De Paul/Barry Blue &, with other covers of works by early-70s popular songwriters, resurfaced on the 1998 album How Does It Feel. In the autumn of 1971 Sinatra & Hazlewood’s duet "Did You Ever?" reached number two in the UK singles chart. In 1972 they performed for a Swedish documentary, Nancy & Lee In Las Vegas, which chronicled their Vegas concerts at the Riviera Hotel & featured solo numbers & duets from concerts, behind-the-scenes footage, & scenes of Sinatra's late husband, Hugh Lambert, & her mother. The film did not appear until 1975. By 1975 she was releasing singles on Private Stock, which are the most sought-after by collectors. Among those released were "Kinky Love", "Annabell of Mobile", "It's for My Dad," & "Indian Summer" (with Hazlewood). "Kinky Love" was banned by some radio stations in the 1970s for "suggestive" lyrics. It saw the light of day on CD in 1998 on Sheet Music: A Collection of Her Favorite Love Songs. Pale Saints covered the song in 1991. By the mid-1970s, she slowed her musical activity & ceased acting to concentrate on being a wife & mother. She returned to the studio in 1981 to record a country album with Mel Tillis called Mel & Nancy. Two of their songs made the Billboard Country Singles Chart: "Texas Cowboy Night" (#23) & "Play Me or Trade Me" (#43). In 1985, she wrote the book Frank Sinatra, My Father. At 54 she posed for Playboy in the May 1995 issue & made appearances on TV shows to promote her album One More Time. The magazine appearance caused some controversy. On the talk show circuit, she said her father was proud of the photos, but not everyone was convinced. Those close to the Sinatras claimed that family members were upset with the nude photo spread. Nancy told Jay Leno on a 1995 Tonight Show that her daughters gave their approval, but her mother said she should ask her father before committing to the project. Nancy claims that when she told her father what Playboy would be paying her, he said, "Double it." She & Lee Hazlewood embarked on a U.S. tour playing the House of Blues, the Viper Room, the Whiskey-a-Go-Go, the now-defunct Mama Kin in Boston, & The Fillmore. That year, Sundazed Records began reissuing Sinatra's Reprise albums with remastered sound, new liner notes & photos, & bonus tracks. She also updated her biography on her dad & published Frank Sinatra: An American Legend. In 2003 she reunited with Hazlewood once more for the album Nancy & Lee 3. It was released only in Australia. One of her recordings — a cover of Cher "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" — was used to open the 2003 Quentin Tarantino film Kill Bill: Vol. One. In 2005, Sinatra's recording was sampled separately by the Audio Bullys & Radio Slave into dance tracks (renamed into "Shot You Down" & "Bang Bang" respectively), & by hip-hop artist Young Buck in a song titled "Bang Bang", as well as covered for a single & music video by R&B artist Melanie Durrant. Sinatra recorded the song for her 2nd Reprise album, How Does That Grab You? in 1966. She & Billy Strange worked on the arrangement, & it was Sinatra's idea to change from a mid-tempo romp (as sung in Cher's hit single) to a ballad. Sinatra's father asked her to sing it on his 1966 TV special A Man & His Music - Part II. The footage of Sinatra's performance on that special was used in the Audio Bullys' music video of "Shot You Down." Taking her father's advice from when she began her recording career ("Own your own masters"), she owns or holds an interest in most of her material, including videos. In 2004 she collaborated with former Los Angeles neighbour Morrissey to record a version of his song "Let Me Kiss You", which was featured on her autumn release Nancy Sinatra. The single — released the same day as Morrissey’s version — charted at #46 in the UK, providing Sinatra with her 1st hit for over 30 years. The follow-up single, "Burnin' Down the Spark", failed to chart. The album, originally titled To Nancy, with Love, featured rock performers such as Calexico, Sonic Youth, U2, Pulp's Jarvis Cocker, Steven Van Zandt, Jon Spencer, & Pete Yorn, who all cited Sinatra as an influence.
