What amazing talent!!! I learned to appreciate Frank Sinatra because my mother and father revered him and I literally came of age with his songs as a backdrop!! How delightful that his daughter inherited his gift!!!! RIP FRANK!!
Nancy is a great singer,I have about 20 of her albums and love every one of them.The first L.P. of her's that I bought (in 1967) called "Movin' With Nancy" proved to me that she could sing beautifully in her own right and was not famous just for being Frank Sinatra's daughter.More recently I purchased the D.V.D. of this record which was apparently the first music video ever produced. It has guest appearances by Frank Sinatra,Dean Martin,Lee Hazelwood,Sammy Davis Jr.-- I thoroughly recommend it to all Nancy fans.
Nancy has a very good, strong voice ... and Frank comes in and absolutely blows her out of the water. No slur on Nancy, Frank did that to a lot of people.

Thank you for this GREAT clip. This was entertainment! No singer had the style and presence of Frank, and Nancy had a nice voice, and she was a knockout!
I remember this, the oddly dedigned set wasnt finished in time and missing a set of steps , it was considered a security risk if they put the lights right down to allow the girls to leave this platform and since this was a Sinatra situation and given the song title Frank wondered how to deal with it given Nancy was in a dress. Nancy decided to roll off as gracefully as possible so as not to reveal anything or be at risk in the dark. We ( relative's of the duo) were slightly amused at the new way for ladies to exit the platform but it worked to eleviate security problems. The older generations involved were all waiting to see how Nancy's plan was going to work out...' well that's one way of doing it..solved the security problems mused one of the relatives....yes, very graceful.' they would have some crazy sets to work with when they would arrive various places. Making me smile this footage. Nancy was at least pleased that her new way of getting off stage showed her legs off.
Nancy Sinatra in a pink fringed mini-dress and matching pink vinyl boots go-go dancing in front of op-art panels is pretty much the ultimate 1960s vision.
@supernoia Thank you for uploading this rare, vintage footage!! This delightful blast from the past is an absolute treat to watch. It wouldn't seem unusual whatsoever to learn they both managed this bit in one take. The part where Nancy cant help giggling when Frank starts singing "Downtown" with her is adorable & memorable. P.S. I noticed a video on the sidebar titled "Nancy Sinatra calls duets with Frank hilarious", from CBS Sunday Morning some 8 years back. She went on with her neighbor, indeed has aged, but it was good to see that she hadn't ever resorted to plastic surgery (at least that I know of).
Listen to the drummer on "On Broadway," 2:35 its simply marvelous. Its a crescendo arrangement and the drummer is really driving the rhythm thru the ascention - he even syncs his licks with the horn accents during the break 4:22. Brilliant.
