Nancy & Lee~Summer Wine~Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood

Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented grapes or other fruits. Due to the natural chemical balance, grapes ferment without the addition of sugars, acids, enzymes, water, or other nutrients. Yeast consumes the sugar in the grapes and converts it to ethanol and carbon dioxide. Different varieties of grapes and strains of yeasts produce different styles of wine. The well-known variations result from the very complex interactions between the biochemical development of the fruit, reactions involved in fermentation, terroir and subsequent appellation, along with human intervention in the overall process.
"Summer Wine" is a song written by #LeeHazlewood. It was originally sung by #SuziJaneHokom and Lee Hazlewood in 1966, but it was made famous by #NancySinatra and Lee Hazlewood in 1967. This version was originally released as the B-side of #SugarTown" the previous year, before featuring on the Nancy & Lee #LP in 1968. It was the first of #Sinatra and Hazlewood's #string of popular #duets.
Lyrically, "Summer Wine" describes a man, voiced by Hazlewood, who meets a woman, Sinatra, who notices his silver spurs and invites him to have wine with her. After heavy drinking, the man awakens hungover to find his spurs and money have been stolen by the mysterious woman; the subtext of which being they experienced intercourse and as payment she took his "silver spurs, a dollar and a dime". He then declares a longing for more of her "wine". One interpretation is that the man singing the song was seduced by the woman in order to steal his money and belongings. Another interpretation, sometimes cited, is that the song contains an allegorical description of drug use and that the lyric "she reassured me with an unfamiliar line" specifically refers to cocaine though that is anomalous for the apparent period setting.

This is such a beautiful song. The visual effects you have added are so in tune with the melody. Who is the lovely lady in the big floppy hat. Shown twice--once in color and once in black and white.
