Sugar, the fourth album by Nancy Sinatra, holds a special place in music history. Recorded in 1966, it showcased Nancy's versatility and innovation in a time when The Beatles were dominating the music scene with around two albums a year.
Breaking Barriers with the Cover Photo
The album's cover photo, featuring Nancy in a pink bikini, was a bold and daring move in 1967. It was the first time a bikini-clad woman appeared on an album cover, breaking barriers and setting new standards in the industry.
A Unique Fusion of Styles
Sugar is a peculiar record that blends Nancy's hit song "Sugar Town" with 1920s compositions in a contemporary Dixieland jazz pop fusion style. This eclectic mix of genres and eras was a testament to producer Lee Hazlewood's creativity and Nancy's willingness to experiment.
