Are you ready boots?

On February 5th, 1966, Nancy Sinatra broke into the top 40 with "These Boots Are Made For Walking".  The song climbed to #1 a couple weeks later.  The song is a classic LA production, Lee Hazelwood wrote it and produced it, the famous session group the Wrecking Crew provided the music, and Billy Strange arranged it.  Nancy gave the song the perfect gritty, nasty feel and a signature double bass part should have insured that the song would be a classic... instead it's another forgotten oldie.
