Charles G Dawes wrote a song in 1912. He later became the Vice President of the United States under Calvin Coolidge. In 1951 Carl Sigman wrote some lyrics for the tune and it became It's All In The Game. The song was recorded by several different artists, but it was Tommy Edwards 1958 rock and roll version (he had originally recorded the song 7 years before) that finally reached number 1 on the charts. This Makes Charles G Dawes the only Vice President to have written a hit rock and roll song.
Nancy Sinatra was known for her song These Boots are made for Walking. Her musical career didn't last nearly as long as her famous crooner father's did, but she remained a real looker. In fact, she did a photo shoot for Playboy in her 50's. Another thing that lasted into her 50's, she remained daddy's little princess. This is illustrated by the fact that she got Frank's permission before doing the shoot. The most surprising thing is that the Chairman of the Board agreed to let her show her goods in a nationally published magazine.
