Growing up as the child of one of the greatest icons in American music can't be easy but Nancy Sinatra managed to create a sound and style for herself fully separate from that of her (very) famous father and her sexy but strong-willed persona has endured with nearly the same strength as the image of the Chairman of the Board. Between 1966 and 1967 alone Nancy charted with 13 titles in the U.S. all of which featured Billy Strange as arranger and conductor. In 1967 she paired with her father for her second number-one single ""Somethin' Stupid"". In 1968 she acted... alongside Elvis Presley in the movie Speedway. At the height of her popularity (long before MTV) she starred in several television variety specials including NBC's 1967 Movin' with Nancy from which this DVD is taken. This is a fun and vibrant time capsule. It is closer in spirit to a long form music video than a television show consisting of filmed footage of Sinatra singing her songs at various outdoor locations (thus the ""movin'"" theme). ""I Gotta Get Out of This Town"" is performed while Nancy literally drives away ""Up Up and Away"" is performed - you guessed it - in a beautiful balloon while dancers cavort madly below ""Sugar Town"" is set in an idyllic forest ""Friday's Child"" is inexplicably sung at an oil field and ""See the Little Children"" and ""Who Will Buy?"" are set at an abandoned amusement park. There are also several special guest stars. Songwriter producer and frequent duet partner Lee Hazlewood shows up to sing ""Some Velvet Morning"" and ""Jackson"" with her. Sammy Davis Jr. dances around a fashion photographer shooting Nancy while she sings ""What'd I Say?"" Rarely for its time the show was recorderd in full colour & the quality is excellent. In 1968 this show won an Emmy for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Music or Variety and was nominated for 2 others. It is a fun glimpse at one of the 60's most popular singers and the styles of the era. Tracklist: 1. I Gotta Get Out Of This Town 2. Up Up And Away 3. Sugar Town 4. Some Velvet Morning 5. Jackson 6.
