Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood - Some Velvet Morning
Add to My Profile | More Videos
Singer-songwriter Lee Hazlewood died earlier this week. He's best known for the songs he wrote for Nancy Sinatra, including a number of duets, such as "Some Velvet Morning." (Here's who the mythological Phaedra was, BTW.)
It's probably easy to dismiss this as kitsch, and on a certain level, I'd be forced to agree. But somehow ... there's something about these songs (others include "Sand," "Summer Wine," "Sundown, Sundown"--and yes, "These Boots Were Made for Walkin'") I find fascinating and oddly beautiful.

Great song... and if you want to get a bit edgier, Lydia Lunch does a good cover of it too.
There's a slew of covers. Modern musicians seem to love him.
Are you sure it's a slew, as opposed to, say, a plethora?
For Hazlewood, definitely "slew," an Americanism by way of the Irish. Lee would have only gone Latin if he absolutely needed to.
