- FANNY: The Right to Rock Official Film Trailer
"Revivify Fanny. And my work will be done." - David Bowie
WORLD PREMIERE at HOT DOCS INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENTARY FESTIVAL 2021!
FANNY: The Right to Rock celebrates the untold story of one of the most important rock bands you've never heard of. Back in the 1960s, three Filipina American teenagers played together in a self-founded, 1960's Sacramento garage band... which morphed into the ferocious rock group Fanny, the first band of women to release an LP with a major label (Warner/Reprise, 1970). Despite releasing five critically acclaimed albums, counting David Bowie as one of their most vocal fans, Fanny's groundbreaking impact in music has been lost in the mists of time... until bandmates reunite 50 years later with a new rock record deal and chance to right the wrongs of music history. Also features music icons Joe Elliott, Bonnie Raitt, Todd Rundgren, Kathy Valentine, Kate Pierson, John Sebastian, Cherie Currie, Charles Neville, Gail Ann Dorsey, Earl Slick and Jeff "Skunk" Baxter. Photography Credits: Linda Wolf, Marita Madeloni, Sherry Rayn Barnett. #GetBehindFanny #GetBehindFannyPodcast www.fannythemovie.com
I saw them in 1974 at Newcastle Odeon (UK) when they supported Jethro Tull. I had seen them on TV but no-one had any idea they were the support band as it had not been publicised anywhere. I've always thought it was a deliberate move as female bands were very rare. They came on to an unlit stage wearing black hooded cloaks playing some good strong licks then the cloaks were ripped off as the lights flashed on and 'boom' they had everyone's attention. I remember the power went down early in the set and the drummer (Alice de Buhr?) carried on with an impromptu 20-30min solo while roadies with torches ferreted around in the dark. It was a memorable night for a 17yr old.
Great story, thanks for sharing it.
I was there at that gig alsi. I was 13.
'Power just happened to go out'? They were 'That Good' Yet didnt fit the 'Status Rock Quoe' No Coincidence at All! _Rock on Fanny!🌈🎛🎸🎼🔊🗺
Lived in Newcastle at the time. It was definitely publicised, if you looked in the right places. That was Fanny vers. 2.0, so not Alice on drums. June Millington had also left by then, with Patti Quatro taking over guitar.
@@brassblues8866 Thank you so much for your support. Just FANNY please, skip 1.0, 2.0...Once again, we don't categorize the Rolling Stones, or Kiss...etc. That was Cammy Davis on drums at that show, she replaced me (Brie) after I left the band after touring the states in support of Rock and Roll Survivors
I got to open for them in Madison, Wisconsin exactly 50 years ago. They were great and so much better than my boy band. That was the only time I ever felt like a groupie.
LOVE this, Steven! ~ Alice
I bet the
show was a blast and both your bands played well! What a cool memory!
@@alicedebuhr6457 on beat club video clips there's a outtakes on a couple of songs find them interesting!
How long was your set? Did you play all originals or some covers, too? Shawn R., Mo-Mutt Music/Sacred & Secular
Cool! In 79 I lived in Madtown...saw the Kinks and the Cars at Dane county colosseum (separately) ended coming back 3 years later for college..good times!
I may lose my job trying to get these women into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. They truly deserve it!
It'll be a hard slog, but I thank you for trying! Alice
@@alicedebuhr6457 you just put me on cloud nine by responding. I dont think you truly understand how much your band meant to people. God Bless!
@@alicedebuhr6457 because of Fanny, young women like these stand a better chance than before (another sister act) ruclips.net/video/3_RB0tRI624/видео.html Thank You Alice
Yes, they do!
@@timsullivan67 It's hard to get the time to respond on these RUclips videos, but I'm trying! LOL! Alice
Seems like the youtube algorithm turned a lot of us onto Fanny a couple of years ago. I was stunned that I'd never heard of them. Clearly a revolutionary band.
@AnarchoRepublican I beg to differ...... Alice
Thank you, Gamby16a! Appreciate the support! ~ Alice
@@alicedebuhr6457 Hey Alice! This is cool!
I first saw one of your videos about a year ago. I thought you all sounded amazing, but your wardrobe was a little out of style... until I realized it was a rehearsal film from '70 or '71. I couldn't believe that sound was coming from a band I'd never heard of. No disrespect intended... I was born in '67... but its pretty clear that you ladies never got the credit you deserved. I'm glad that some of the great female bands that followed recognize the doors you helped open for them.
With any luck the documentary will open some new eyes as to how great Fanny was. I didn't see Nickey in the clip, so hopefully she's doing well and was able to participate in some way. I hope the film does well for all of you.
Take care. :-)
I used to curse the RUclips algorithm… but then it showed me Fanny. And I had to take back all the nasty shit I said about it.
@@marthajbaldwin5897 I'd say a band of young women playing this aggressively was totally revolutionary in the early 70's. The next notable band who did the same was The Runaways--who were also pretty revolutionary.
I say this as a naysaying music snob who taught history of rock at the college level for 12 years, so I'm giving them huge props.
Fanny Deserve to be in the ROCK and ROLL HALL OF FAME......NUFF SAID!!!
It took 20 Feet from Stardom to get Darlene Love inducted. Maybe this will get them recognized.

Oh, knock it off with this RRHOF bullshit. Giving this circle jerk organization of elitists way too much press.
@@canadianroot I agree eh! Fanny DON'T need those pretentious wankers from RS Magazine!
hahaha the Rock and roll hall of fame can eat shit
The recognition these ladies deserve is long overdue! Can’t wait to see the film.
Thank you, Stephen! ~ Alice
Stumbled onto Fanny through RUclips a three years ago and told all my friends "you have to check this band out, because they rock!" Glad to see they may finally get the recognition they deserve!!
same
Same here. I’m not surprised why I didn’t hear of them when I was two in 1970. I’m surprised it took me until a couple years ago to hear their music, especially since I was into classic rock of the 60s and 70s as a teenager.
Same here. I think their new popularity on RUclips finally did the trick for them. It's a crime how they got burried like that.
Agreed. Sometimes that damn algorithm is brilliant.
Same here! I guess YT has some redeeming qualities after all.
The fact that this band never made it big is one of the biggest travesities in rock history.
They made it, the public didn't get it. Male dominated music business. :(
@@frednouvertne4216 maybe they just weren't that good or interesting? There were hundreds of great bands back then who never made it/released an album that went no where and Fanny had nothing on many of them.
@@disprogreavette8545 after listening to them, I gotta disagree with you
@@gxtmfa I don't even remember leaving that comment but it sounds like I was grumpy with the middle aged blues. Cheers and you're most likely right.
@@disprogreavette8545 It's cool. You're entitled to your opinion. I respect that. Alice
I don't know why "rock is a man's game". From this guy's perspective, there's nothing sexier than a woman who can rock like Fanny did.
Thank you flowood piano! ~ Alice
@@alicedebuhr6457 Hey Alice my name's Ned, my wife and I love Fanny. I'm a drummer for 40 + years and you rock that kit like a boss !! Those tom tom beats in Blind Alley, those "haymaker" style cymbal crashes, as well as the rest of your playing is inspiring. Thank you and rock some more.
A lot of gays feel that way.
Forget the fact all 4 members were attractive, they were phenomenal musicians!
I guess that we all know Chi Coltrane? She rocked big time too.
But my guess is that back in the 70’s girls just weren’t concidered as being able to rock. Fanny rocked, The Runaways rocked, Chi, Tina and Suzy dit too but there was always the thought that they were only around for their good looks.
But man, did they rock.
I am as big a music geek as it gets I was a teenager in the seventies. How in the hell did I miss these gals? Thanks for RUclips making it possible for me to discover them
That's what I'm saying. I feel robbed.
Because there was a lot great music coming out and radio stations just didn’t play their tunes
Thanks, James! Alice
I am 66 yrs old and I have never heard of these ladies before. WTF WHERE HAVE I BEEN!
Fanny rocks. They are a jewel for anyone that wants to find them. And beautiful too.

Please bring this to Australia so I can take my daughters to see it
I just discovered them, they really make me vibrate. I am glad that they are being recognized at this time because young women need brave and talented women to follow. A hug from Mexico
Thank you, Lorena! ~ Alice
So good to see that this brilliant band are finally getting some of the recognition they deserve.
I'm embarrassed and sad AS HELL, I just heard about this group in my 65th year!!😮😮😮 And I listened to a LOT of music and sought out ALL kinds of artists...never heard of these amazing musicians!! God love you ladies, you deserved SO MUCH more from your professional musical exposure!
So glad I stumbled across this.❤❤❤
You're not alone. I'm 70 and am just hearing of them. What a kick-ass band!
Totally in the same boat. Really don't know why I've never heard of them until now. But that's music for you - always so much to discover and learn!
I feel the same way. Just found out about them yesterday and I was in high school from 1970 through 1974. But better late than never as they say. I have to see that documentary.
It's never too late to enjoy what we did some 50 years ago. I STILL like listening to the LPs at times! Alice
Me too. 65. :/
I was fortunate enough to see them in the early seventies. One of the best all female bands ever.
Never heard of them until today. Unbelievable. Life is not fair. They rock!
'Bout damn time! I've been playing Fanny on my radio show at KNCE-FM in Taos, New Mexico since I got back on the air in '18.
If you heard nothing but the records you’d say they were really good band. But if you listen to the live recordings that’s where the magic is. They were phenomenal
Agreed. The musicianship is off he hook. That keyboard player! Ferocious!
100% … so true so true.
Word. Saw them live in the early 70's. Wow, just Wow!!!
@@mtlava Fucking lucky you!
well you can technically say that with all bands because any live show will kick ass (most of the time), but yeah I get what you mean
Fanny !!!! Rock and roll hall of fame now!!!!!
"It wasn't through talking....We just fucking did it."
That attitude is why their music rocks!
I literally just heard them for the first time 5 mins ago.. their cover of hey bulldog (1971) and the first thing I thought was waaaaay ahead of their time.
They were carving a path where there was no path. Thanks for doing it for all the girls out there, offering the possibility, the dream.
Nice to see FANNY getting some of the attention they deserve.
ITS ABOUT TIME...
Thank you! Alice
@@zombiespongebob6903 I know, right? Bring it on! ~ Alice
Back in the 1970s, bands succeeded or failed based upon musical talent. Today, success is all about race and gender. The revived fortunes of “Fanny” are testament to that. 🤷♂️
I saw them perform live on the Boston Common in 1970. They were phenomenal. I immediately went and got their album after that. I still have the album.
That was with Leon Russell, right? xx
@@JuneEsWorld Yes!!! One of my favorite concert memories! I remember it like it was yesterday!
Thanks to Fanny bands like the Runaways and my new favorite band Band Maid are alive and rocking serious butt today. They truly showed that the girls could rock the boys.
As someone who has turned their back on new music(for the most part,anyways),I have been looking backwards into the past,to find the bands that ROCK,that I've never heard before.It ALWAYS feels like I struck gold when I discover bands like FANNY!!!!!!!!!!!These ladies were MONSTERS on their instruments,especially Alice on the drums!!!!!!I watch their live performances & my jaw proceeds to hit the floor........EVERY TIME!!!!!!!THANK YOU FANNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aw, thank you, Garrett! Cheers! Alice
Way to go Fanny! Glad to see you back!
Finally!! Thank God!! They trully deserve it..!!! Fifty years in the making,but at last they are getting the recognition they trully deserve...here's one proud Filipino!!! Mabuhay kayo mg Kababayan ko!!!
I first heard them around 1972, when I was 8. An ex-boyfriend of my sister left a (badly scratched) copy of 'Fanny Hill'. Their cover of the Beatles' Hey Bulldog was my first experience of that song and it was exhilarating! Even better was 'Blind Alley', a brilliant track and the one that really stays with me to this day. Going to seek out that documentary now...
I am 54 and I found one of your albums in my Uncle's collection when I was 16 and I was knocked to the ground like I was hit by an atomic bomb. NO ONE I talked to even believed you existed until I played them your music! All my punk rock friends were laughing at me until I forced them to listen and to the letter they all became FannyFanatics! You need to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and you should be inducted by The Go Go's.
"It was'nt through talking, we just Fucking did it" those words should be at the entrance to every universities entrances. If your good it dont matter what you are
Universities are woke enough 😂
Great band, so grateful my sister turned me onto them.
In the 70's.
I just about 5 minutes ago, found out about this band, and I am 56, and have been into music since I could walk. Maybe even before I could walk.
I have no idea how I missed them for so many years. How are they not one of the bands always heard?
their song Ain't That Peculiar been in one of my playlists for a while now, glad to hear of their return!
I have their song butterboy on a 45
Ooh! How cool is that then:) Music has no borders... Great to see them back:))))
Hey everyone! Fanny will be performing a LiveStream Pocket Concert on May 5 during the Hot Docs Film Festival, and the world is invited to join in -- you won't want to miss this! More details here! twitter.com/hotdocsindustry/status/1377303096083243015/photo/1
Is there a recording available?
Bought my first Fanny album, Mother's Pride in 1972. On first listen, declared they are a female Beatles band.
Bought Fanny Hill shortly after and was not surprised it was recorded at Abbey Road studios (studio No. 2 no doubt).
One of the pioneering all-female rock bands along with Birtha and Isis. I still have all my Fanny albums and Isis' 'Ain't No Backin' up Now' on 8-track.
Long overdue recognition.
Still amazed how many people never heard of them, but when I play their music, it sounds "So Familiar" they question if they have heard it before,....
Great music can have that effect.
Well, 50 years on guys like me are sitting behind my computer watching Fanny kick ass in old clips.
And you got the recognition from all these great artists.
You guys deserve to be in the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame.
They way Fanny did Hey Bulldog? Shite, that was good. I'm a huge fan of The Beatles, but I'm not sure which version I like best.
Makes me sad to think about how much talent we never saw just because girls weren't supposed to.
Thank you Saints. You made my day. I live in Tucson, Arizona, USA. I love your philosophy of life. Keep on growing my friend. Thanks to all the Saints. 🥂
Tita June June and Tita Jean Jean! My rock heroes! Love my Titas! 🇵🇭❤️🇵🇭❤️🇵🇭❤️
As far as the GoGos getting all the attention, the GoGos played radio friendly Pop songs. Fanny played some serious rock and roll. Fanny would have blown the GoGos off the stage. If anyone hasn't, check out that live Beat Club video. It's raw and it's real. So much more powerful than their records.
I totally agree!!! Damn, when June plays slide…
The Go Gos were also decades later.
Virginia viola about a decade. But consider the talent that Fanny had and compare that to The Runaways or The GoGos, and you have to question why even the Runaways are remembered more than Fanny.
Gary Jackson Fanny was selling musicianship, while The Runaways were selling sex appeal (Cherie Currie onstage in a negligee) over musicianship (they WERE competent musicians, just not as highly skilled types of which Fanny were in my opinion,) and the GoGos were selling pop hits and looks (even though they were terrors on the road which their “cuteness” hid.) Fanny simply did not create an image to sell (and they should not have had to.) Unfortunately in the music industry image can trump talent.
Thanks, Rumble Hat! I agree, and I like the French TV footage as well, even tho the sound isn't as good! ~ Alice
Yay, Fanny finally getting some love. I discovered this band around 2010 and just loved their music. I couldn’t understand why they weren’t big.
yeah, what's with that?? LOL! Alice
Wow! RUclips algo led me to discover a great if not the most epic women that rocked mens socks at their time or even to this day. Man I truly am grateful for what they stood for. They really deserve more recognition/attention for what they did. Long live fanny..hehe.A new fan here.
Rock-n-roll is for the young at heart only. No one else need apply.
They opened for Chicago the time I got to see them. They had a great song playing on the radio and Chicago was already well known. A concert I had to see. They did not disappoint!
They may be the best rock band (female or otherwise) to “slip through the cracks” and be almost completely unheard of outside of their cult-like following. Fanny kicked some serious ass! Plain & simple...
Thank you, Rockin' Vida, plain & simple! ~ Alice
@@alicedebuhr6457 Alice, just wanted to say how much it means to us younger fans that you respond to our comments here.
@@RCAvhstape I try to check out the comments on a regular basis, but fall short quite often. Thanks for writing back to me! Alice
@@alicedebuhr6457 Always welcome.
These ladies were/are fantastic!!! What a great way to become "old". They're like a good wine, becoming even better with age.
I first heard Fanny in the days of my puberty - some fifty years ago - on German TV. I immediately fell in love with their beauty AND their music. A bunch of VERY attractive girls were playing MY (generation's) MUSIC!!!! Before Fanny, females were only known as singers, but suddenly these "chicks" appeared to show the world that ROCK wasn't/isn't a matter of gender.... or age!
It's a shame it took the band fifty years to gain the reputation they deserved long time ago.
I just imagine a small kid proudly showing his/her mates some of these RUclips videos shouting:" THIS IS MY GRANDMA!!! SHE'S PLAYING BASS/DRUMS/GUITAR/KEYBOARDS ON THAT GERMAN TV-BROADCAST!!!!!
C'mon Fanny do it again, even if it's just for us old sacks! Show today's kiddos that ROCK has neither age nor gender. AND... thank you for the contribution Fanny made to the history of ROCK.
OH btw (whispering) any ah... sources for recorded Fanny concerts the community can recommend?
i just stumbled on the 1973 midnight special vid,,,loved it and them!
Great band. I remember Melody Maker running a headline back in the 70s: "Fanny splits, new member introduced!" Can you imagine?
Hahaha
More innuendos in that than a whole ‘Carry On’ Film oooh matron
@@TheFairway8 Phwoar fancy THAT 1 eh?
That sounds like it’s describing a birth.
@@fromchomleystreet EXACTLY! WHY do you think Hellen Reddy had that smirk on her face when she introduced them? Means the same to Aussies as it does to Poms!
Fanny were an amazing group of musicians who were truely ahead of their time.
Thank you, Gabriel! ~ Alice
The first time I heard Fanny’s music which wasn’t too long ago on YT I was like WTF it’s a sin that I’ve never heard of them before!!! I’m glad that they are getting their due!
If they would had did a cover of Kashmir or some really long nasty guitar solos you could see June had the gift in her, and some outlandish clothing, showing there great singing and musical talents was not enought. Don't know, but thanks to you tube I love them.
About bloody time! These ladies are rock royalty.
I recently saw the documentary. It was so well done and you really got to connect with the members of Fanny while watching.
This is a story that needs to be shared and told to as many people as possible.
I became a fan about 6 years ago. Just listening to them, and thinking about them, is bittersweet.
I was right in the thick of my early teenage years and I'm SHOCKED that I never heard of them back then. Although I was more into Soul, R&B, and the rising genre of "Funk Music" at the time. But, i also loved what we call "Classic Rock" today, yet never heard of them until now. I had 100's of 45 records in my collection, and still do, so I was heavily into music, yet I never heard of them back then. Glad I found them now though.
Check out some of the fascinating, recent Fanny podcasts on the www.fannyrocks.com website: fannyrocks.com/podcast/get-behind-fanny-episode-1/
Can't wait to hear more from Fanny!
“We just did it”. Respect. Love the attitude. Punk before their time.
you guys rocked back then and you rock today keep rocking ladies love your music
As a child of the 70’s I don’t know how I missed these ladies...they are awesome! Better late than never...good music transcends time.
Thank you, David! ~ Alice
I've been a fan of Fanny since 1970, they rocked then, they blazed the trail!
Thanks, Jim! Alice
Fanny deserved to be so much bigger than the public allowed them to be. These ladies ROCKED harder than most bands back then!
@@jimhirth9684 Yes, I think we did....every gig! Alice
I just love Fanny! And I'm 100% Greek but that has nothing to do with it, I just love these female rockmeister's!
Love these ladies so much. So excited for the film.
ABOUT TIME!! Cannot wait! Love it so much that ..Finally!
excellent trailer by the way. 🎸
Finally, i've been watching that "Ain't that peculiar" video for a while now.
Because RUclips told you to.
@@c-dublife And, it was a good....."I tell you to!" Alice
As a kid in NC I owned several of their records because they were a DAMN good band. I wish I still had the albums. The ladies in this band were great musicians and once again are great musicians.
I am only a few years younger than them, and a musician forever, and never heard of them. I am embarrassed to admit it. But they were great, and it is fabulous to see them back at it.
Still scratching my gray head. Yes, they were before MTV and VH1. But I listened to the radio, watched TV and went to concerts. And never knew nothing about these fabulous girls.
Fantastic! They need to be inducted into the Hall of Fame too!
A fan recently started a FB page supporting that, so feel free to join the #GetBehindFanny convoy at: facebook.com/groups/489538768244638
@Lennie Minder "Really good" is subjective when referring to the Hall of Shame.
Deep Purple and Steppenwolf were really good yet neither band is in.
Fanny were and still are "really good" and are as deserving as much,if not more so, than many that are in the Hall of Shame.
@Lennie Minder David Bowie and a slew of other artists would disagree, as illustrated by the trailer.
@@t.sewell1513 I am sincerely curious. Can you be specific about what you like or dislike about Fanny? I mean particularly regarding their recordings and the clips of them on RUclips etc.
@@t.sewell1513 Liked for the good conversation, but of course, I disagree.
We know that politics and money is involved with the RRHofF. Consider all of the artists both male and female who have never performed rock and roll but who have been inducted. It is actually a popular music hall of fame based on record sales etc. And even then popularity is not enough. Consider the number of artists who had to wait years to be inducted or who still haven't even been nominated.
The Beat Club clip, along with some of the clips of their live performances illustrate how good they were. They should have gotten in before Joan Jett and they should have been nominated before the Go Go's. Consider the era they came up in. Consider how they might have fared with MTV to assist in promoting them.
I think that the RRHoF is anti-rock and roll, but as long as there is one, Fanny should be in it.
That is some crazy killer tone, especially for the early 70s on the song 'Young and Dumb'. June's solo, like dayyyum, what amp and effects does she use?
In the Navy in '72 bought Fanny Hill... We sailors fell in love with this all girl band who could rock your socks off ! HOF material for sure !
Fanny opened the door for Ronstadt, Heart, Go-Go's and COUNTLESS others. Great musicians across the board. ROCK ON, LADIES!
I was a senior in HS when they released Charity Ball and went out and bought the album. They definitely were ahead of their time and could rock the house. But, that was the way of the world back then, male dominated rock bands.
Finally!!
What! Bad Ass.... I Was in an all Girl Band With My Sister n Couple Friends Many Years Ago. Me the Drummer. I'm 58 n I Still Wanna Rock!! Go Girllllll
Thank you, NaeNae W! Rock ON!!!! ~ Alice
Just discovered them...Now I'm a huge fan...sadly...50+ yrs too late..
Being one of the people who heard them on TV way back in Beat Club I was surprised to find myself living close to where Jean and June lived part of their lives. Missed a live performance here in Hilo (HI) in about1987 because of work.
Saw them at Bradford Uni Yorkshire when they just released Charity Ball, marvellous
Thank you, Richard! ~ Alice
@@alicedebuhr6457 Thank you for the message Alice - we are all getting to be old buggers now but I will never forget that Saturday night in Bradford here in the UK, first thing Monday morning I went straight to the record shop and ordered a copy of the album, terrific days, I got married in '75 had 2 wonderful girls but unfortunately lost my wife 6 years ago, reading this Fanny post brought back all the good times and a tear to my eye - thanks for the memories.Richard.
Thanks for RUclips making it possible for me to discover them ....love her sound
I stumbled across a live set they did for some TV show, which is on RUclips somewhere. I’d never heard of them, and a minute into the first song, I couldn’t believe I’d never heard of them. I immediately wanted to know all about this great band that had somehow skipped past my radar.
Glad you "stumbled!" ~ Alice

@@fromchomleystreet That won't happen.....Nickey has retired from all music, and I have to give that peace to her! But, I'd love to record again! Alice
I saw Fanny opening for Bonnie and Delaney in early 70's , don't really remember Bonnie and Delaney that much but I remember Fanny, I went and saw them again, they just rocked and rolled
Saw them opening for Delaney and Bonnie? That would be my dream concert.
I saw them for the first time on TV about 30 years ago and I was very impressed. I'm happy to see that these four girls are back. Rocking girls forever.
I had the pleasure of seeing these talented girls live at the Eastown Theater in Detroit opening up for The Stooges. They tore up the place. Along with the Quatro sisters, they were true pioneers of female rock.
You were very fortunate to see that show. It must have been awesome!
《《《《☆☆☆☆♤☆☆☆☆》》》》
Thanks, tp10488! Appreciate it! ~ Alice
@@alicedebuhr6457 alice i just have seen your BBC Music video what a wonderful musicians bonded together. It skipped my radar 😃.
That would have been an epic lineup. You are very lucky.
They deserve much recognition excellent band
I first heard Fanny on a Warner Bros loss leader album in 1971. The song was Hey Bulldog! Started buying their albums after that! I hope they get the recognition they deserve!
It's a Beatles cover but it might as well have been their own song they way they play it.
YET another reason WHY RUclips is so influential and meaningful in it's conception and existence. Here is another band that couldn't have been MORE important to the development and future of Rock & Roll and it's history, living in relative obscurity UNTIL RUclips was created to reveal this band and others and their contributions in the shaping of what is todays musical frontier...
I had heard of Fanny when they first came out. I recall they played locally, must have been many times, because that is where I remember hearing their name announced on the local AM radio. I regret not being more interested in seeing them at that time. I never did see many bands at that time, not enough $$$, even though tix were so “cheap” back then.
I sent Fanny details (Wikipedia and this video) to a very multi instrument talented young lady with a fantastic voice. Her name is Patty Pershayla and she does solo work, has a blues rock band called Patty Pershayla and The Mayhaps, and is the vocalist for what was once solely a Rush tribute band but now have three CD’s under their belt. They are YYNOT. She broke through with a ukulele cover of Rush’s “Closer to the Heart” on RUclips a few years back. Novel and left the Rush fan base gobsmacked.. Hence I saw some commonality with the ukulele. Also the fact that she has always wanted to assemble an all female group
There is some footage of them playing on Dutch TV it’s just electrifying. So damned committed!
Ja
'We broke through that barrier, and it wasn't through talking. We just fucking did it!' That did it for me. An awesome story.
@@marthajbaldwin5897 - Try watching the video.
@@marthajbaldwin5897 - I think they just rocked, perhaps at a time when women weren't meant to rock, musically, or something like that.
No gimmicks or trickery, just straight up rock n roll.
So so excited to see this and hoping one day to see them live! I think it’s their time to be the stars they should have been a long time ago.
If you've ever seen Fanny play live, the Beat Club video being a great example, you know that their producers were never able to capture that same magic in the studio. And that's a shame because they could really play.
The Beat Club videos are great!!!! They really bash out some solid, rich rock. Great example of that rich, early 70s rock sound.
That Beat Club live video take is a precious gem. That's how I discovered Fanny's live music. It could be a live mini-album.
They needed to do the Frampton thing. Should have done a live album if that's where they were at their best. Unfortunately I'm sure it wasn't up to the band to decide.
@@yepper1165 Wasn't their choice. The producer was responsible for not getting their live sound on the tracks. He even puts horns in one of the songs. The drummer commented on how adding 'horns' had nothing to do with their sound. Another example how people with all the power can effect people's art.
@@rollotomasi1873 That's really too bad! I know that's been the case with a lot of artists and groups. CCR and Steve Marriott come quickly to mind. Scumbag managers and trusting artists are a bad mix.
OMG, just saw the documentary and it was fabulous! How did I survive 67 yrs without knowing anything about these rockin women?
I just recently saw their cover of the Beatles “Hey Bulldog”. I was absolutely gobsmacked. What Stars!
