NANCY SINATRA - The father who towered over showbiz; the brother whose kidnap shocked America; the daughters devoted to her legacy: it'd be easy for Nancy Sinatra to take a back seat to her kin.

Then the group escaped their label, sacked their madcap manager, signed a new £4 million deal and released its notorious follow-up... five years later.
