- Lee Hazlewood - Nancy Sinatra, Some Velvet Morning, NBC television special "Movin' With Nancy" in 1967.
Lee Hazlewood's passing made me think of the "Some Velvet Morning" recording, It's a strange eerie tune Lee wrote in the mid to late 60's and recorded with Nancy Sinatra, anyway, here's the video, I wanted to share it.
PLEASE be aware that is is a Lee Hazlewood, Nancy Sinatra tribute. I welcome your thoughts and stories. Beware that ALL derogatory comments will be removed along with comments about other artiest covers and talk show host using it as bumper music. Please just celebrate Lee and Nancy

Remember this like yesterday . Just arrived in Vietnam , homesick , scared , a long year ahead of me . Lying in my cot that first night , raining , and alone with my thoughts . Another marine came in with a transistor radio and this started playing . We listened in silence and I had to hold back tears , lowest point in my life . But Thank God , I made it back , so many didn’t . Still , after all these years , this song is difficult for me to listen to . Semper Fi .
Thank you for your service to our country. We would not have survived without people like you, my cousins, my father, uncles, and my great aunts (fighting in the underground during WWII).
Thank-you for sharing this very moving memory of yours about a song that I happen to enjoy. And thanks also for stepping up and providing your service to the nation and its citizens when the circumstances or your principles called upon you to do so.
Thank you for your service. Namm vets are the most important of our veterans. They did what they had to do
So sorry… thank you for your service.
Thank you for your service and welcome home. From one veteran to another (GWOT) it’s a shame how you guys were treated coming back.
God has gifted Lee with a sweet and unique voice, but called him back too soon😢😢
It's awesome how masterfully Lee Hazelwood controls the tempo of singing - pauses, emphasis, rhythm, controlling everything at will, and it turns out to be striking as hell.
When this song hit the late night AM waves you knew it was time to get spooky with Art Bell. Thanks to him I’m a big Hazlewood fan
Man, Art Bell had an exquisite taste in music, I’m coming from the same, listening to the art bell tape vault on spotify
Somewhere in time! Still using this as an intro
Lee Hazlewood's voice is so freakin' awesome!
Thanks, just somethin I whipped up 🤓
Yes. Phenomenal
Behind his tough guy image he was a legit genius. He wrote and composed this masterpiece himself, which is at least as good as anything psychedelic the Beatles ever recorded.
@@danielward7008 The Beatles generally wrote pop songs. I don't feel like they should be compared to Hazlewood or bands who were more devoted to developing the psychedelic genre. 😅
"Some velvet morning when when I'm straight." Coming off an unending bender? But promises it will end? He loves her. Great tune. Haunting.
There is so much mystery, sadness, romance, tenderness in this song... when I listen to this masterpiece, I fall into a kind of trance. I remember the day I heard it for the first time. My father loved to turn it on. He is no longer there, but the memories and feelings remain
Summer wine was even better! First heard it when hiking through Vietnam 1968!
Still listening in 2023!
and in 2024, too.
Me too, 2023 & 2024 on 👏🏻🥰‼️
What a song! It sounds like it's ageless, almost biblical. Awesome.
When Art Bell still owned his Coast to Coast AM radio talk show , he often used this song as bumper music . I miss those nights 👽👻📻🖖😈🤖
I was named after this song. It's been a long strange trip explaining it over and over and over again.....
+Faydra Koenig Your folks gave you a great name!
very cool name!
I figured it would have been spelled Faedra
So did my parents.
I named my daughter's middle name after this Phaedra. she is 7 so she maybe the youngest named after this song. Gabriella Phaedra
One of those songs you heard as a young child that makes an impression and stays with you.
I haven’t heard this since I was 10 years old. I heard this recently and it all came back in an instant. Weird how that happens. I remember I liked it because it switched from one melody to another. I did not realize it was Nancy Sinatra , until now at 66 years old. 😮
Nancy's great, but Lee Hazlewood never got enough credit. I hope people check out more of his stuff.
They are both Great!!!!! Their music together is timeless!!!!
Awesome team!!! Timeless!!!!
Lee Hazlewood was fantastic. Songs like My Autumn's Done Come, for example. He really never did get enough credit. But there's no denying, for me, how great they sounded together.
Do yourselves all a favor and listen to Lee’s album, Requiem for an Almost Lady here: th-cam.com/video/lDAnAIWcl2Q/w-d-xo.html
I love the dudes voice so much and his mustache
Obsessed with the beginning of this song. That key change is beyond gorgeous
Introduction opens into an existing scene of sweetness immediately transcending into suspense, which then dissolves into the first verse.
That key change ... Changed me. It has a depth beyond words. It's heartbreaking and beautiful. I ended a relationship whose promise and loss could have been summed up exactly with that key change transition.
So glad someone mentioned that they love it, too.
Fantastic, isn't it?
Es hermosa 🥰
@@mt.rushmore7916 eh
Lyrics, notes, arrangement - never will be matched.
Their voices are so incredible together. He has an element of Leonard Cohen. Hazelwood is wonderful. And Nancy sings angelically here. I just discovered Hazelwood and Nancy and both of them as a duet. Wow. So beautiful. And I love the innocent purity of the song, gone era, sadly.
His dark voice..... hmm I am in heaven and her voice.......
yeah match made in heaven.
Leonard Cohen used to have a much higher singing voice... then he discovered Lee!
We can Thank Art Bell of Coast to Coast keeping this one alive. He used it often as bumper music.
Lee Hazelwood was a brillant pop songwriter - this song is an indication - very unique and mystical sounding - he also penned the 1966 hit for Nancy, These Boots Are Made For Walking ... genius comes from the ability to write non complicated simple songs - this is the magic of pop songwriting - I will always be a fan!
Manages to be weird, unsettling, yet soothing all at the same time.
yes!
You nailed it exactly right
.. the genius of Lee Hazelwood.....
I have the vinyl lp of this. I played it for my wife and she looked at me like it came from Mars.
Yep, that's Lee Hazelwood...actually, I love his music.
This is a perfectly CRAFTED song. Lee was a disc jockey. The mechanics of this are amazing with the contrasts. Minor key for Lee. Dark, foreboding, rough country ballad in 4/4 time, vs. major key for Nancy, a lilting, well, flowery melody with high strings and synthesizers. A completely DIFFERENT key, but it is seamlessly, and artfully brought back to Lee's key. They each hold the last note long for the time signature change. Nancy sings it in 3/4 time, more lilting and melodic, same time as waltz music. It really is composed music, not just written music. Remains one of my favorite songs. Either you get it or you don't. Friends can't see what I see in it, they say they'd turn the station. Their loss. So many people recorded this including Vanilla Fudge, the psychedelic rock group. Listen to it, that is a fantastic rendition of this. It's not what you think when it starts.
Thanks Keith for all this great info!
I get it!!!!
GL Blom90
Does anyone indicate me songs or bands in this style ??
I was playing this in my car yesterday and told my friend... This is a perfect song. He thought I was crazy LOL. I said no it's perfectly constructed and it is just classic and perfect. I'm so glad to see someone else thinks the same way. We're smarter than most LOL
*Psychedelic cowboy lounge music!* Loved this for years!!!!
Everything Lee writes sounds like an epic movie theme....
These collaborations between Nancy and Lee are just magical.
Nancy once said she never understood the Lyrics to some of Lee's songs But she loved them anyway. This is a Great Tune that takes me back to my Teen Years .
best male/female duo ever
Richard P Who would be a good duet singing this song nowadays ? I honestly can't think of any really.. I love this song & from the sensational 60's.
@@irisheyzgrl24murphy92... yeah,
Sonny's ☈工ㄗ…...͚٠•・٠
Yes absolutely two of the best double act singers of all time👍.
I always thought this song haunting and beautiful and filled with underlying story. The character of Phaedra in mythology is both victim and victimizer and there is a wealth of undercurrent to the words in this lovely song. Beautifully done by both.
This is really cool. The 60s must've been pretty trippy
It really is! If you look up the song on Wikipedia, it tells amazing details.
Oh my Gawd the 1960s was thee best era ever yes, I was only maybe 10 yrs old but I remember all the hippies everything was about peace love NO WAR! It was all about flowers and free love everybody partying together it was the best ever if I can relive IT you bet your sweet bippy I would relive the 1960s, what wonderful clothes wonderful music, guys with ,well what is known as long hair protesting the Vietnam war! Driving volkswagon beetle busses, and the way everybody got around was hitch ticking w/o weirdos picking you up it was actually safe just dont try this now our world has become EVIL!
The 1960s was the best era ever everything about the 60s from clothing to music what a great era to have lived it even though I was only 10 yrs. old but I loved it!
@@rebeccacobarrubias9547 But we still had to go to school.
Lots of LSD lol
The definition of eerie is not having heard this since you were five years old, and then hearing it. Like, wait, wasn't this a dream I had?
I felt the same way only I was 9. I only heard this song one time and always remembered Nancy Sinatra's part of the song. I had a hard time tracking it down because I didn't even no what the name of the song was. My name is Tammy and I am using my husband's comments.
nice to find this gem!
Yes! I picked up a stack of albums at a yard sale and this album was in it. I had forgotten all about it and was flooded with memories, hearing it again after some 45 years!
ABoxOfBroken8Tracks 😆 Soooo true !
Five years old? I went through the same experience at the tender age of three in a half. I think I had the same experience with the Beatles hello goodbye.
I'm 25 years old and I love this song. I guess I have an old soul.
I'm 42 and feel the same way.
You’re the same age as my daughter whose middle name is Phaedra.
Love Lee's distinctive baritone voice against the sweet voice of Nancy in this one. Such a wonderful song and musical partnership between these two often described as "cowboy psychedelia."
Sorry I did slip its Phaedra sorry daughter! Mom......
Jan Chiodo-Wilhelm What the hell...?
Yes! One of the great Duet pairings of all time!!!!!
His blunt voice was perfect for this & Summer Wine.
One of the best singing duo’s I’ve ever heard 👍♥️
Quite right sir 😊
Such a strange song. The video reinforces the dreamy disconnected mood. Feels like it should mean something very deep, as if it is a fragment of some long ballad - but it is just a permanent enigma.
Just found out that Lee died in 2007... His records with Nancy have been in my life a long time, and they always touched my heart. Nobody does low voicing so good as Lee. His voice gives me goosebumps. The combination of him and Nancy was a golden one. They don't make songs like that anymore, or so it seems. RIP Lee...
This is my favorite song in the whole universe. The only thing is nobody my age is not familiar with this beautiful melody since it’s extremely underrated & forgotten :(
I'm 22 and I love this 😂
Jeff Acardi noice :D
It's not forgotten, there are more out there, don't feel sad🖤🌼
I finally found someone who knew this song and he ended up being a straight up psycho lol
@@Liiljuju 😂😂😂
He is so hansom and she is so beautiful. We were all so beautiful in the 60s.
Nancy was even beautiful in her 1995 Playboy shoot.
Best days ever. I was just a kid but loved this. 💙
Imagine hearing this driving, alone, on a deserted road as the sun first rises. My first experience with this song, and it has remained with me many years hence....
So cool! I love memories like that.
I wish I was with you on that road
Wow!
heard it on the school bus one morning, it was a new release, everyone on the bus went quite, have listened to that song over and over and never get tired of it.
Yeah on orange sunshine good morning!
Nancy and Lee -Some velvet morning, awesome song about a girl named Phaedra
Lee & Nancy to me the greatest blending of the male and female voice... I don't thinkany two people have ever been able to out perform Nancy and Lee... Sounds just as fresh today as it did going on 50 years ago
maybe serge gainsbourg and jane birkin in je t'aime moi non plus.
This song absolutey creeps me out and I don't know why! And I continually go back over and over again to listen to it and I don't know why!
I love how this song rotates between the old Western sound and feel of the open range.... to 70s hippie trippie .... and the juxtaposition of her voice and his.... almost like two twin stories bound in one hardcover book.
Very bizarre song. Disturbing in a way. Especially nowadays. Great concept!
I was young when I heard this and I will never forget it.
This song and summer wine,my first husband songs. He past away. Then 2011 one of children past age 34. It's hard. I was 17 then now 60
Stay strong, I hope this magical sound brings you comfort
♥️♥️♥️
Bless you Melody... I'm sorry...You'll see your beautiful son and husband again somewhere with the Faydra daffodils.
The instrumental is just wow.
For some reason, this song kept going through my mind at about 4:00AM this morning...
My favorite Lee and Nancy song, hands down....
I agree! l think they did a great job on this song ( especially Lee H.)
Also very good...
The transition between the two gives me goosebumps omg
your beautiful and brilliant wow😳
@@chrishawkins6535 👈🏽creep
@@suchabadkitty1293 Don't be upset you can be beautiful too! Just throw away that negative energy💯👎
@@chrishawkins6535 Why would I be upset because you're a creep. Ew.
Trippin in the 60's.
It blew my mind the first time I ever heard it. It's such a strange song, but I like it.
Always loved this song. I became aware of it many years ago when listening to Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell.
MASTERPIECE. Absolutely, completely brilliant, unique and beautiful.
NANCY SINATRA AND LEE HAZLEWOOD . . . THE VOICES !!!!
My all time favorite.
I finally found their CD. I’m so excited I used to have the 78 but that was 50 years ago now I can listen to them again and I’m so sad Lee is gone from us. He had such a beautiful voice.
yeah absolutely so sad I’ve been married for 32years I was 24 and she was 20. She got cancer in 2020 I was totally lost without her. She took a major hit the treatment was horrible for her. I could do nothing to change any thing so I felt helpless.. I miss her everyday. Mothers are the glue that holds everyone together.
seeing this makes me miss her even more I come to this page all the time just to have that nostalgia
@@user-yy5fx6qo5l Sorry about that...
@@kathybarry7850 I really do appreciate your kind words. losing my wife to such circumstances, honestly it's not been easy keeping faith as things has been really difficult doing this thing called parenting all by my self but in all it's been a wonderful journey seeing my daughter grow into the woman she is now which makes me feel very proud...I hope your day goes as planned 🙏
Now R.I.P. Nancy.
HIS voice is so Perfect and Powerful ...
whenever i play this i always end up playing it 10 more times
Awww....Harry, this song has haunted me since 1968....Some Velvet Morning....you altered my life since 1967....I hope you are resting in peace--loving you since June, 1967.
Altered mine when I first listed to the tune in 2002 during 6th Grade
Amazing song!! That intro! That intro! That intro! It literally transports you back to the 60s. Could've been a song all by itself.
Wow! I remember hearing these songs on the radio! I was young. I remember liking them a lot! Summer Wine!!!
Same ...
lee hazlewood had some kind of voice, that would make women melt!!!!
Their partnership was amazing and enduring. I hear one of their songs and im transported back to a happier time.
This is a surreal song, I like the change in tempo
ethereal?
The orchestration on this is sublime - the swelling strings and dramatic overture - truly magical
bring back time when it was great and the songs...
His voice is eargasmic. Under-rated man
This song has depth and, remember, it was marketed to mostly young people who were listening to music on little transistor radios. What an amazing era for music.
Pure nostalgia. It captures the era.
This song is so..dreamy.. so..unique..so..powerful and oh so.. beautful..! One of the best songs of all time..!
The career of Lee Hazelwood creates the iconic profile of the inseparable connection between songwriting and studio production/sound recording engineering in the early days of multi-track recording. He was a perfectionist with a clear view of his artistic goals. The original Psychedelic Cowboy
I agree. so good.
I used to love this song when I was little - it gave me chills and was hauntingly beautiful. I especially loved the name “Phaedra.”
I just looked the name up and found out who Phaedra was. She was a figure in Greek mythology who fell in love with her husband’s son; her husband took his son’s life and then Phaedra offed herself.
Blew me away how this song relates to that myth and the “powers that shouldn’t be.” (“I’m gonna open up your gate” - “gates” are occultic “portals.”) And I thought it sounded so innocent back then… 🤔
Absolutely unique songwriter
oh my gosh..what a song
I probably commented earlier. This song is one of my all time favorite Top 10 songs. Always has been and always will be.
Totally agree. One of my all time top 10 songs too.
My bus driver used to blast this driving us to and from school. It was very eerie sounding but I like it.
It IS magical! Nicely put!
Cool bus driver
I laughed reading this.....life can be so magical and surreal
I haven’t heard this song since I was 9 or 10 years old. I never realized how beautiful this song is; yet it does sound eerie. Nancy and Lee sound good together.
I hope you thanked your bus driver every time you got off.
Thanks for posting. "In November 2003, music critics working for the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph placed the Sinatra/Hazlewood single at the No. 1 spot in their list of the "50 Best Duets Ever."
Without a doubt one of the best songs written ever.
Not really.
I love these songs of the 60's. I get so lost in them!
MY God I love the way they join together in harmony!!! I just discovered this driving a 67 Cadillac down Sunset Strip on a Sunday Morning!!! Summer Wine absolutely slays me!!
I was named after this song!!
world leaders will come and go but music will last forever--singers and song writers will always be remembered as long as world last-hope everyone have good safe days forever
This music is before my time but I was introduced to it on the old Art Bell Show. Thanks Art for the amazing radio and music.
A great writer and beautiful woman making a magical velvety song.
Clearly beautiful, mysterious, and very haunting.
They just don't make them like this anymore. Lee's voice... just genius
January 22 2022.i got my kids singing this . awesome.... Love y'all Saludos from Edinburg Texas The Valley 956
In 1970, Paris fashion photographer John Bauer made an award-winning short film by this title featuring this amazing song. I was fortunate to be there for the premiere.
The Nancy and Lee album is awesome. So many good songs on it. Still have the album. Have it on CD too.
Been listening to this for 50 years, and I still never tire of it.
Hauntingly beautiful song. With such dreamlike quality to this video. Lovely landscape the horses are beautiful Nancy& Lee such A goodlooking couple
Beautiful m.ysterious song. Lovr it.
Fedra is truly my name
Phaedra
No one wants a Phaedra in their lives lol. Phaedra was insane check out your Greek mythology people.
Sexy
@@andrewmckeague700 Crazy chicks rock in bed😉
@@andrewmckeague700 Lee Hazlewood's granddaughter is called Phaedra. Good album by Tangerine Dream as well .... now, let's get that vinyl off the shelf.........
I Stll Like this song and yet I'M 49 yrs old and its still is my favorite song
Lee Hazelwood IS the man.
Hippie psychedelia at its very best... great song!
+akvavit A unique sound that inspires the human sense of wonder and mystery. This song will last through the ages and I'd love to see it given a place in a well-made movie.
'Cowboy Psychedelia' or 'Saccharine underground'
No, its about a cowboy and a sappy woman
Hollywood Hippies
This music touches your soul
Art bell bumper song I loved it.
I listen to Lee and Nancy all the time. I fell in love with their music when I was just 6 years old and have loved it ever since.
The album is still in my collection it really 'moved me' all those decades ago. My Cat is called Phaedra because of this track!
I always feel like I really did belong in those days
guess youre stuck with us :/
As opposed to the Matrix we live in now? Yes...
As a 7th grader, I used to hear this on the radio circa 1968.
I love this haunting song. I believe Nancy Sinatra has one of the best voices. Her voice is so clear with very little vibrato--pure tone.
was
I'm a late arrival to this song so thanks, was always a fan of Summer Wine but totally missed anything else this great Duo did.
It sounds very atmospheric American of that Western era that I enjoyed on telly as a kid from afar, across the Pacific and way down.
