"How Are Things In California?" -Haven`t heard it before. It falls a little flat compared to her 60s stuff, only leaning to it. The bland 70s seems to have set in.

"You Only Live Twice" is probably my favorite James Bond film song.

On her TCM interview, Nancy said she really didn't feel up to the task, mentioning that at the session that the producers should use Shirley Bassey instead.
But I think she did just fine.

For me, part of the charm of the song is that it feels like an eulogy to the 60’s, which, of course, is not the creator’s intention. That’s how I felt from it back then. When the song entered the chart, she already carried an image of a ‘yesterday’s girl’ around her.Quote

That is originally a Cher song isn’t it? I like the highly charged Terry Reid version.

I think it's the best thing she ever did, in addition to being the greatest of all the Bond theme songs. The soundtrack version you posted is the definitive one, but there's also the 45 rpm single version, which has the orchestration lower in the mix, while adding some fuzz-toned guitar and a heavier drum track.

Short conversation with Ms. Sinatra. Must admit, some of her recordings are guilty pleasures. Her work with the late Lee Hazelwood brought forth some good things. Beside her tunes, I remember her from "The Wild Angels" movie starring Peter Fonda where she played his girlfriend. She inspired many a fantasy for baby boomer guys.
