April 15, 1967 –
The Nancy Sinatra and Frank Sinatra very sweet and slightly weird song, Somethin’ Stupid, hit no. #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart on this date.
This was written by a songwriter named Carson Parks, who along with his musical partner Gaile Foote, released the song as Carson And Gaile on their album San Antonio Rose, which was released earlier in 1967. Nancy Sinatra recorded the song with her father after Frank Sinatra’s ex-army assistant “Sarge” Weiss played him the version by Carson And Gaile. Nancy recalled to The Sun May 2, 2008: “My dad said: ‘Great, if Nancy will do it.’“
