In the September 24, 2004 issue of Entertainment Weekly (Star Wars on the front cover) there is a two-page interview with Nancy Sinatra and her new album is considered to be one of the "25 most anticipated albums of the fall". Her new album is due out September 28 and there is also a mention of Morrissey as a musical contributor for her new album. She is asked about Morrissey and it proves to be quite a splendid addition to future trivia about Morrissey. The following is an excerpt of what she had to say about their relationship: EW (Entertainment Weekly): How did you end up working with Morrissey, of all people? Nancy Sinatra: In 1995, I was in London and he called my hotel room and said, "This is Morrissey. May I come up?" He brought all of these albums and 45s he wanted me to sign. Thank heaven I knew who he was, because my kids grew up with the Smiths [Sinatra has two grown children with late choreographer Hugh Lambert]. My daughter Amanda had a poster of Morrissey as tall as a refrigerator over her bed. Now we've been friends going on 10 years. EW: On your new album, you sing Morrissey's "Let Me Kiss You"-a song from his recent CD You Are the Quarry. NS: Over the years, I kept begging him to let me do "Bengali in Platforms" [from 1988's Viva Hate], because I love that song. He kept saying "You'll never do 'Bengali'-so forget it." Then a couple years later he sent me a rough version of "Let Me Kiss You" with a note that said, "If you do this song, you'll be back on the charts for the first time since 1972."

Nancy doing Bengali?? (Score:2, Funny)
Nancy Sinatra begging Morrissey to let her do a cover of Bengali in Platforms.
"Oh Moz!..I've just been listening to Viva Hate in the bath, and I heard this simply adorable tune....Please, please let me cover it."
"Erm..Nancy, how about one of the others?"
He must have pissed himself laughing when she suggested that song.

why not instead cover "asian rut" or "national front disco" maybe morrissey could pen a new and even more offensive song for her to cover!

Still, I can definitely understand why she pressed him on a particular tune. That's what music is all about, you want it to speak to you in a personal way. Besides, it's lyrics notwithstanding, you simply must concede "Bengali" is an exquisite song.

As for Nancy -
"Over the years, I kept begging him to let me do "Bengali in Platforms" [from 1988's Viva Hate], because I love that song. He kept saying "You'll never do 'Bengali'-so forget it." Then a couple years later he sent me a rough version of "Let Me Kiss You" with a note that said, "If you do this song, you'll be back on the charts for the first time since 1972."
This is just classic! Moz telling her "You'll never do 'Bengali' so forget it". He's the MAN. You don't do one of his songs, unless he thinks you got the mojo for it. Nothing against Nancy, but Moz knows whats up. That's why he wrote LMKY for her. Just another example of that keen musical ear of his. He goes up to her with his 45's and personal collection, gets her sig, has tons of respect for her. Then she asks him to let her do one of his songs. "No you can't. You'll never do it, just forget it". Then he busts out with something her voice is more suited for. "Here you go. You'll be in the charts again. I'll show you". Is it in the charts by the way? Was Moz right? I dunno, but that's Moz.
