《Summer Wine》是一首经典老歌，首唱者是60年代在美国最受欢迎的“军中情人”Nancy Sinatra和Lee Hazelwood，歌曲作者就是Lee Hazelwood。这位老哥是美国音乐史上的一位传奇人物，不仅能唱歌，也能写歌，还会自己制作。在遇见Lee Hazelwood之前，Nancy Sinatra的事业很不顺利，没有多大的成功，再者婚姻也没有白头到老，很是失意。歌曲推出之时并没有作为主打歌，但是受到许多DJ的追捧，流传至今，于是成为上个世纪流传下来的一首经典老歌。
Nancy Sinatra的父亲是好莱坞的五鼠党之一、外号为“瘦皮猴”的法兰克辛纳屈拉（Frank Sinatra），他与黑手党的渊源颇深，后来也真的曾经获得过奥斯卡，同时他也是一位超级歌星。
《Summer Wine》这首歌在后来也有许多歌手翻唱过，包括The corrs乐队的Andrea和U2乐队的Bono两人合唱，但是最好听的还是原唱者。Lee Hazelwood的歌声有着美国乡村歌手的韵味，又夹杂点慢摇滚的漫不经心，而Nancy Sinatra的歌声则还带点美国甜姐的甜美稚嫩。感觉就像一杯曼哈顿鸡尾酒：Lee Hazelwood是酒杯底下的威士忌，而Nancy Sinatra就是酒杯顶上那颗鲜艳欲滴的甜美樱桃。
《Summer Wine》中英文歌词欣赏：
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring草莓，樱桃，还有春天的天使之吻My summer wine is really made from all these things

I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to

She reassured me with an unfamiliar line

My silver spurs were gone my head felt twice its size
