The girls really had incredible skills. I mean listen to how rich and tight that is...dayum. There was a ton of musicianship in this band.
I just can't get over how fucking good these girls are, why the fuck don't I hear this band played constantly on rock radio? They are absolutely killing it!
Corporate bs. Dj's should be able to play whatever the fk they want, inc. Fanny!
to hear them on the radio you just have to go back in time to 1970-1975 sadly. I remember them but I was only 3 when their first record came out, by the time their last record came I was 8.
very groovy bluesy sound and great conviction in the vocals!
What an Amazing Band!!
Fanny just plain rocked! Simple, straight-ahead, joyfully energetic. Good go, girls! 😎
Can we just take a moment to admire Jean and June's dark, long, luscious locks? I live how they rock with their gorgeous tresses❣️❣️❣️❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
FANNY!!!! On the same BBC show with Elton John, The Mamas and The Papas, and Mick Jagger. It speaks volumes!
They were pioneers they were fantastic and they should be in the R&R hall of Fame.
Never happen; they're above that HOF sht
It is an absolute crime that this band has been under the radar so long.
No in 2021 there is a documentary out on them. Going to see it this Sunday. Never heard of them before like so many others and I grew up in that era
They were a really great rock band, the fact they were all women was a major thing at that time, but at the end of the day, THEY WERE A REALLY GOOD ROCK BAND, superb musicians, great singers a really good band.!
+Alan Morgan I saw Fanny live. They could bring it. They were amazing. Nobody sings like this today either; sure there may be 'better' singers but no one sings like these girls.
@@wnorcott Definitely agree. I saw them Spring of 1971 opening for The James Gang...Joe who??
@Alan Morgan
If that was all there was to it Fanny wouldn't be in the situation they find themselves in today. Being overlooked, forgotten and still denigrated for being female.
When Barbra Streisand wanted to do a rock based album they were the musicians she choose for the sessions , seriously good both live and on record .
At the end of the day... At the start of the day... And all in between😊
I keep watching and listening. I'm just sorry I didn't get to see them live. Absolute legends. !!!!! 😃😃😃
Stumbled on a video of them yesterday, now can't stop consuming everything I can find. They are incredible. And the talent, joy and energy they play with...wow
Same here - they are infectiously good - I just can't get enough of them - such talent.

What a shame they didn't hit the mainstream. One of the best if not the best bands I've ever heard
Fanny was a two Filipino-American sisters who immigrated from Manila, Philippines to Sacramento, California. They formed in the 60's, GIRL LEGEND POWER, ROCK 'N' ROLL!!!✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
They didn’t immigrate as they were born American 🇺🇸 along with their siblings. They aren’t immigrants.
@@sabot808 You need to read the bios... they were born in the Philippines
Well ...their family emigrated when some of the kids were young. 2 of 7. This reads like they did it themselves/what is being celebrated. Nonetheless I'm a new found fan. This whole set I watched over and over each of the women play sing perform amazingly. Totally in love
@@chrismcdonough4024 Clown you said they were born in America...
@@chrismcdonough4024 to emigrate is “to leave one’s country…” they were born American overseas so they didn’t emigrate to the US as they were already citizens.
I think what impresses me most about Fanny, is their wealth of original music!
They didn’t only do covers!
And based on the genre their music fits in, each musician was outstanding with their instrument! Bravo!
Oh, they did covers, too. don't miss this one: ruclips.net/video/imZUqkPlUaQ/видео.html
Wow beautiful in so many ways. Real talent no computerized shit, protools or autotune. Four gorgeous women plugged into amplifiers and kicking ass. I’m in love.
AMEN
That harmony is frickin PERFECT!!
It is an injustice that I have never heard of this band until tonight!
HOLY!!! Real Deal or what? - and why we only hearing about them now?!? How is it possible for this caliber of talent to be hidden from the world for so long? Love Bowie's acknowledgement and dead on praise of the band. Only begun to explore, but colour me an instant and enthusiastic fan. Wow!
I just watched this 4 times until the volume wouldn't go any louder.Like finding a hundred dollar bill blowing down the sidewalk. Thank You.
It's a perfect cover.
Isn’t it just ? Delightful :-)
That's a great comment.
June
@@JuneEsWorld Hi June! (a great comment for a great song)
This is Rock N' Roll 🤘😤🤘
I just found out a friend's little girl was asking why the local indy radio station doesn't play hardly any women. Emails were exchanged, etc. I am so excited to be able to show that kid some of the Fanny videos that have come online. I am just absolutely so grateful that the stories of bands like Fanny and the Liverbirds are finally seeing sunlight. It's way too late in their lives, but at least some of them will see it. And *I'm* getting to hear their MUSIC, and see these kick-ass videos!
Back when Bands played for real.!!! Fabulous !!
...Millington Girls are Legendary!,& Nicky Barclay makes that Hammond sound like a Fantasy,Great Harmonies,Talent That went un-noticed for much too Long,...Deserve way more Credit for what they did for the industry inthe early 70's!!!
@wabankik
Don't forget Alice de Buhr as solid as a rock - not flash.
@@thirdbase6870 absolutely NEVER have heard that woman drop the count. Then, and now, a damned machine.
wow, to not include the drummer, who i consider not just the best female drummer ive heard but one of the best drummers period.. wonderful fills, timing, and hit hard.
Right Nicky Barclay - also an amazing voice. Just far too much talent in this band to not be far bigger than they were
They absolutely amazing!!! Beautiful ald full of passion sadly the music industry changed so much from then..
I remember Fanny from the early 1970's, but the only record I bought
back then was the "Butter Boy" single. I watched several videos of their
live performances and instantly became a big, big fan. I just purchased
all 4 of their CD's with the original members and I am blown away. Each
album is a rock and roll gem and I can't stop listening to them. It's
nice to see that they are being appreciated and being introduced to a
new audience through RUclips videos, as I have developed a newfound
appreciation of a great group. I am thrilled to see that they are
gaining an ever expanding fan base consisting of multiple generations.
For reasons unknown to me, I was deprived of the thrill of Fanny for so
many years. Today I listen with delight.
i am in my 60s and never heard of this group before today. Absolutely brilliant. i would have loved listening to them as a teenager.
Very thankful that these live videos exist. Awesome stuff from the band.
Great rock, beautiful ladies, damn I was only 5yo at the time. Just discovered Fanny today, glad I did, great music, Thank you Fanny.
This band did not get the recognition they deserved. Clearly an injustice as Fanny broke down doors for all female rock bands that came after.
I concur.
They were absolutely brilliant.
June left disco got big
They did today.
I wrote a similar comment about Fanny, however it was a different song, and I just wrote it tonight..man, I think Jung was pretty much right on target w/his theory of synchronicity.
What about Ace of Cups and the Lovin' Kind who were two of the first and Birtha who were about the same time. Though Fanny were great!
Towering and tight! So beautiful to see them all groovin' together.
A pearl from RUclips. I don't know how I never even heard of this pioneer band. And the girls play good old rock and roll.
They Weren't Just A Really Great Band; They Each, Individually, Were Really Great On Their Instrument, REALLY Great!!
SO UNDERATED! These gals ROCK!!!!
Probably the only band to cover this great and overlooked Stills song. Fanny's covers not only are faithful to the originals but always add their own spirits to bring something new to the songs. Great musicianship from all members of the group.
How are these ladies not in the RRHOF? At least as "pioneers". I saw them in Denver in 1971 opening for The James Gang and they blew Joe and the boys away. Never knew they were Fillipina sisters (lead and Bass) just knew they were truly a special talent-especially live.
Lou S I’m pretty sure the rock and roll hall of fame bases their inductions on record sales. That seems pretty biased or capitalist or whatever one would say, but if it didn’t go that way the inductions would be completely subjective and there would be many more debates about who deserves to get in. Of course media ultimately controls who you see and hear, and that’s why mostly sells the album. Vicious circle. Most important thing is that they’re noticed in some way.
Father was white military background I know of a couple guys of the same Philippine/White just like the Millington girls they look totally different one looks whitish/Latin other looks straight from the island
Yeah, and be in the same lot as Madonna, Janet Jackson, and Tupac. Rock on...?
RRHOF has no standards for artistry, just name recognition and $$$. If Warren Zevon can't even get nominated...
Lou, you caught that show? I remember it - yeah, we did kinda blow them away. Thanks!
June
Before Heart's Wilson sisters there was Fanny's Millington sisters, Nothing but amazing talent.
they were much better than the whale sisters
frank rusk was that really necessary to call them that? Rude.
@@blueberrycobbler Nancy is a top-notch rhythm guitarist. You know? There's a difference. Great vocals, but not an all-women band. There's a huge difference in that, too.
June
Thanks, Jon. And, all ~ just wanted to mention, if you did not already know, that Jean (bass) had a stroke over 2 years ago and can use our continual help as she recovers and goes through rehabilitation ~ to hopefully get back to playing again! If you'd like to spread the word and donate, here is the site: www.gofundme.com.jean-millington-go Thanks so much!! xx June (guitarist, and her sister:)) And please write a note, too!
@@blueberrycobbler
You just heard it from a pro who plays lead and rhythm simultaneously.
Exellent Jean bass lines, love it...
I'm lovin' everything about this band & I particularly dig the bass playing ... where has this been hiding all my life ... time machine me back to the early 70's & I'm at every one of their gigs!
That's an old Fender Precision bass...cool
love em
I assume that everyone feels the same way i do tonight as they discover this band for the first time. They were long gone by the time I could buy my own records, changed my life in 2020
Thanks for that
Enjoyed FANNY since FANNY HILL. First time I've seen this video as I never had a TV way back then. Just the Stereo and great album's to listen to.... Take a listen to FIRST BASE by BABE RUTH.... You'll probably like that too.

So good....they could certainly play and sing, so underrated and should have been so much bigger. You ladies Rock! All these years on i still love this band!
Saw Fanny in 1971 at the Fillmore East with my pal, the piano player in my band. I played drums.
Fanny opened, and were great. Followed by Humble Pie, who we had already seen. They played a concert at my High School (those were the days). Then Lee Michaels was the main act we went to see. Great concert and went long into the night. Started at 8:00pm, and went past 2:00am. Place was packed we went to the top balcony. All the speakers were aimed at it. The music was loud and great sound. We bought some pot and had some hashish. We were 17 then, full of energy, Kings of the world. Got a little exhausted that night though. Wonderful.
This is especially a great video of their version of "Special Care."
Fanny followed by Humble Pie! What a night that must have been.
@@strange-universe Humble Pie played at my high school, Mamaroneck High School, about a week before this concert. So, I wasn't there for them. The performance was great, even better than their performance at my high school, if that was possible. My friend, who played keyboards in our band, wanted to see Lee Michaels, and i was happy to go with him. I had heard about Fanny, and I ended up loving the organ/piano player. I actually spoke to her, and Steve Marriott, before they went on, and I didn't even know it was them.
By the way... I 'm not sure, but when Humble Pie played at my high school I think they opened for Mountain. It was about a year before. Honestly I'm not sure. Can't quite remember.
@Acid Head Ed Fanny, Humble Pie, maybe Mountain, amazing! Mamaroneck HS?! I went to Scarsdale HS and grew up right in the border of New Rochelle. SHS Class of ‘87
@@MrWizardry69 I lived in Larchmont, which is next to you, above New Rochelle, below Mamaroneck. Larchmont doesn't have a high school. So, we went to Mamaroneck High School.
I've been to Saxon woods many times. We used to party like crazy in the woods. We used to bring folk guitars, get drunk, smoke pot, trip, and party til dawn. Wonderful times back then. Of course, I was also a lot younger. Lived there til I was 23.
Don't drink, smoke, or do drugs anymore. I'm into computers and the internet. Take care, and have fun.
Don't miss the "Beat Club" performance popping up on your feed with the bluescreen backgrounds, it was peak Fanny!
Love it. They were a bloody brilliant band.
Was a big fan back in the UK in the seventies. I had the opportunity to meet three of the four gals in California awhile back. Thought I was in heaven.
GREAT BAND! LOVELY TO SEE,
What a treasure!
One of THE best female band. So talented.
GREAT AND VASTLY UNDERRATED BAND
Reintroduced to Fanny in the last while has been a real lift-excellent contribution from each band member with June as a guitar hero of mine.Jean like a real angels visit.
This has been running in my head all day, just dropped by to get it out. And yes, great band!
firt time of heard from them, how did i miss this for so long.
i did not know her until tomorrow, but I like her
Some precious and beautiful history here! ❤🎸❤🎸❤🎸
AHHH!!! This band is so good!!!!
AWSOME!!!!! took me some time to discover them
Doesn't get much better than this! Fantastic
so glad i found these amazing ladies
Good song, but my god, that keyboard/organ solo by Nicky Barclay at the end in this live version is so chillingly awesome! As uneven and imperfect as the studio records were (despite some highlights!) this band kicked ass live!
Just started writing comments on RUclips recently and already I have to correct myself...not realizing that the music isn't live but from the record with only the vocals being live. Still, a great keyboard coda is a great keyboard coda. And you just gotta love how much fun the band despite the playback seems to have :D (knowing however that especially Alice was pretty pissed for not being able to hit a drums as one would do normally)
How did I miss this band back in the 60's/70's? They are great!. Ron Binks
I have listened to Rock since the 1970s. Why the Hell have I never heard of these girls?
Jimmy Hunsucker same here!
Fanny was so damm good, if they could have worked out there problems & stayed together for another 10 to 15 years they would be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame right now . . . They made such good music 🎵
I love Jean's bass phrases and of course the whole band!❤
This is so fantastic. Jean is just brilliant
The most intense female group I have ever seen!
That "afghan" vest gets passed back and forth between the sisters on various videos. That organ playing!
She Shreds magazine featured the Millingtons and Fanny recently. I highly recommend looking it up.
Oh, wow! I’ve known of Fanny for a really long time, but hadn’t heard this. This is great.
great singers as well, Jean is my favorite
To me, their live stuff sounds better than their recorded stuff and that's something you can't say about almost every damn artist today!
this though sounds like a prerecorded backing, with live vocals, that's how it often was on the OGWT
Say no more 70s music was music at its peak down hill once we came to the 80s.
Wow a great lead vocal, great guitar, great drum part, great organ solo, great bass part at the end-a tour de force.
Goddamn they fucking rule
This is fucken awesome 👌🏽🔥Im already hypnotized
Nicky Barclay, I love your playing! All great, rocking ladies! Goodness me!!!
This, is what I call, the "good music" zone. I can definitely dig it.
That Afghan Sweater, is a part of music history, now.
Nickey Is the real pI-ano man.
The Millington sisters are really rocking out!
June headbanging is 🔥! Much love from the Philippines!
Infectiously groovy! I feel like this cover should well have done what Hendrix did for All Along the Watchtower.
Holy crap, that's as good a rock bass playing has I've ever heard, period!!
The best Fanny I have ever seen.
I love Fanny.
These girls make my soul take wing.
Great jam and bass lines by Jean at the end. My favourite song though is A Place in Country by Barclay. 2nd Song at the Beat Club.
@Brian Baker
Calling this a "jam" doesn't give them credit for all the woodshedding that preceded it.
Hopefully women of color can claim their right to be considered rock and roll icons like these glorious ladies
Just like the Ramones being credited with creating Punk when I’m fact that distinction belongs to “Death”, the Runaways are given credit for being the first legit all girl rock band...meanwhile Fanny has already come and gone.
This is where platforms like RUclips really shine. You don’t have to take some obscure music mag articles word for it. Here we can see that Fanny were the real thing long before most of us thought it was possible.
Death created punk rock? Nobody was listening to them and they weren't influential at all. Claiming Los Saicos or several hundred 60s garage bands created punk makes more sense but it's still a stretch.
Also there were many female rock bands before Fanny.
@@johnwilliams9175 I'm sure there were a few. Were any of them any good though? I plead ignorance here but the only female rock groups I can think of before Fanny were either vocal groups, didn't play their own instruments, or just plain weren't very good.
@@imvandenh The Liverbirds, Pleasure Seekers, Ace of Cups, Luv'ed Ones, She are all pretty decent rock bands that existed years before Fanny.
I was bowled over first time I heard them. When I saw that this was 1971, I was stunned that this had eluded my thirst for unique talent for so many years. Even their covers are a breath of fresh air. They make them sound brand new today. Radio station management and the yes men deejays of the day handed the public the short end of the stick. Kind of like the news today?
Damn That's Real Rock + Roll
What a Great Sounding Band
I don't think I ever seen a male bassist sing and play with such perfection and ease in the 70's.
Greg Lake
Fender 1960 hahaha there was just Paul Mc cartney and Rick James but hey no problem 😂🤣
Lynott??
Jack Bruce of Cream
Rob Grill
Fantastic 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
AWESOME! Especially to think this was 30+ years ago!
They say history repeats it's self, so let's look foward to the future, rock on
meet Venus Wave: an all women rock n roll band from brazil. facebook.com/venuswaveband/ ;)
Grew up on the Springfield's version, but love the musicianship displayed here, but so long ago.
I love my Pinay Sisters!!!!!! I am just sorry I never knew anything about them until the last several years.... Rock On!!!!!!!!
Amazing!!
Very COol, I love it... FANNY ROCKS!
I like the back ground vocals
Great cover of classic Stephen Stills tune. I especially liked the Organ and Drums.
Love these ladies
OMG what a band a what a name. mazin
must be one of the best rock bands ever..
Their was THE LIVERBIRDS The first all girl rock band from ENGLAND in the 1960s , They toured all over ENGLAND AND EUROPE and released albums and singles
Bravissime
Something people don't appreciate was that Fanny paved the way for so many women in rock music. At that time rock was ruled by male bands with an occasional female singer. Then came Fanny and smashed the door down. They don't get the credit they deserve.
