Lee Hazlewood (July 9, 1929 - August 4, 2007), born Barton Lee Hazlewood was an American country and pop singer, songwriter, and record producer, most widely known for his work with guitarist Duane Eddy during the late fifties and singer Nancy Sinatra in the sixties.

Hazlewood had a distinctive baritone voice that added an ominous resonance to his music. Hazlewood's collaborations with Nancy Sinatra as well as his solo output in the late 1960s and early 1970s have been praised as an essential contribution to a sound often described as "Cowboy Psychedelia" or "Saccharine Underground".

Lee Hazlewood Video

"These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" is a pop song musically composed by Lee Hazlewood and first written and recorded by Nancy Sinatra. It was released in February 1966 and hit #1 in the United States and United Kingdom Pop charts. Subsequently, many cover versions of the song have been released in a range of styles: metal, pop, rock, punk rock, country, dance, and industrial. You keep saying you got something for me Something you call love but confess You've been a'messin' where you shouldn't 've been a'messin' And now someone else is getting all your best Well, these boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you You keep lyin' when you oughta be truthin' You keep losing when you oughta not bet You keep samin' when you oughta be a'changin' What's right is right but you ain't been right yet These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you You keep playing where you shouldn't be playing And you keep thinking that you'll never get burnt (HAH) Well, I've just found me a brand new box of matches (YEAH) And what he knows you ain't had time to learn These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you [SPOKEN] Are you ready, boots? Start walkin'

Short piece of Nancy talking about Lee taken from Thomas Lévy's documentary entitled "He Moves Around"

Lee Hazlewood in 2006. Outtake from the documentary "He Moves Around" by French film director Thomas Levy - to be released soon. Lee requested that Thomas be there when he died. Thomas was there. This short piece, where Lee is talking to Wyndam Wallace and Thomas Levy was taken in Berlin in 2006, just a year before he died. He was in a lot of pain, but you wouldn't notice. The Great Lee Hazlewood. Funny, kind and didn't suffer fools gladly.
