So I work at a very traditional type place and they play lots of 50s/60s kind of music. And they keep playing a big band sounding version of "Hello Dolly" by a female singer. Everyone tells me it's Nancy Sinatra, but I can't find it anywhere online. I would love to have it on a record or something, but can't find any other information.

Hm it's neither of those. It's not slowed down. It's the same tempo, but the sound is more "big band" with lots of cymbals and stuff. The singing is very effortless.

Definitely NOT Nancy Sinatra. Nancy was a light pop singer with no range to cover any other genre but her basic vocal pop singing.

The Nancy Wilson version sounds very Big Band-like. Let us know if you find what you’re looking for…

Actually, I think Brenda Lee is who you're looking for.
