Since debuting on The Billboard Hot 100 in the mid-'60s, Nancy Sinatra has notched more than 20 entries, including two No. 1s ("These Boots Are Made for Walkin' " and "Somethin' Stupid," a duet with her father, Frank). After a too lengthy break from the chart, Sinatra may indeed return to it with the dreamy "Let Me Kiss You." Co-penned by Morrissey, who also provides backing vocals, the poignant "Kiss" is tailor-made for Sinatra. And with Morrissey's stamp, the song—which first appeared on his latest album, "You Are the Quarry"—also has its fair share of melancholia. Consider this chorus: "Close your eyes/And think of someone/You physically admire/And let me kiss you." Sinatra shines throughout. In fact, she one-ups Morrissey on his own song. Prepare yourself for her new album, due next month.—MP
