:Fanny (band)

Sisters June and Jean Millington moved with their family from the Philippines to Sacramento, California, in 1961. They began to play music together on ukuleles, which helped them gain friends. In high school they formed an all-female band called the Svelts with June on guitar, Jean on bass, Addie Lee on guitar, and Brie Brandt on drums. Brandt left to get married and was later replaced by Alice de Buhr.

Lee and de Buhr later formed another all-female band, Wild Honey. The Millington sisters later joined this band as well. Wild Honey played Motown covers and eventually moved to Los Angeles.{{cite web |url=http://fannyrocks.com/about-2/how-it-began/ |title=How It Began |publisher=Fanny Rocks |access-date=July 25, 2014 |archive-date=October 2, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111002004628/http://fannyrocks.com/about-2/how-it-began/ |url-status=dead }}{{cite news |last1=Millington |first1=June |author1-link=June Millington |title=You Never Heard of Fanny? |url=https://msmagazine.com/2011/05/26/you-never-heard-of-fanny/ |access-date=5 October 2022 |work=Ms. Magazine |date=2011-05-26}}{{cite news |last1=Larsen |first1=Peter |title=David Bowie wrote them a fan letter.

They were spotted at this gig by the secretary of producer Richard Perry, who had been searching for an all-female rock band to mentor.{{sfn|Carson|Lewis|Shaw|2015|p=85}}

Perry convinced Warner Bros. Records to sign the band, still known as Wild Honey, to Reprise Records. The group won the contract without the label hearing them play, on the grounds of being a novelty act, despite their genuine musical talent.{{cite web |last1=Wolf |first1=Linda |title=June Millington – A legend in her own time – November 2013 |url=https://teentalkingcircles.com/2013/12/14/june-millington-a-legend-in-her-own-time-november-2013/ |website=Teen Talking Circles |access-date=5 October 2022 |language=en |date=14 December 2013}} Warner Bros. installed the band in a rented mansion formerly owned by Hedy Lamarr, on Marmont Lane near Sunset Boulevard. Prior to recording their first album, the band recruited keyboardist Nickey Barclay while bringing in early Svelts member Brie Brandt.{{cite web|url=http://www.berklee.edu/news/2007/01/0125.html|title=ROCKRGRL Honors Fanny, Legendary Female Band, at Berklee|publisher=Berklee College of Music|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080515101605/http://www.berklee.edu/news/2007/01/0125.html |archive-date=May 15, 2008 }}

The band was then renamed Fanny, not with a sexual connotation but to denote a female spirit.{{sfn|Carson|Lewis|Shaw|2015|p=85}} The initial lineup consisted of June on guitar, Jean on bass, de Buhr on drums, Barclay on keyboards, and Brandt on lead vocals and percussion. Perry dismissed Brandt because he wanted the group to be a self-contained four-piece band like the Beatles.{{cite web|title=Brie Howard Darling – From Rock Star To Cake Diva|url=http://www.rivetingriffs.com/Brie%20Howard%20Darling.html|website=Riveting Riffs|access-date=February 25, 2018}} The Millingtons and Barclay all assumed lead vocal duties on alternating songs, while de Buhr sang lead occasionally on later albums.{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/mothers-pride-mw0000839611|title=Mother's Pride – Fanny|website=AllMusic|access-date=February 23, 2019}}

The members of Fanny also worked as session musicians, and played on Barbra Streisand's 1971 albums Stoney End and Barbra Joan Streisand,{{cite news |last= Anderman|first=Joan |title =Rocking the Boat| newspaper=The Boston Globe|date =April 20, 2007 | url =http://www.boston.com/news/globe/living/articles/2007/04/20/rocking_the_boat/?page=3 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070427084802/http://www.boston.com/news/globe/living/articles/2007/04/20/rocking_the_boat/ |archive-date=April 27, 2007 |url-status=dead}}{{cite web |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/barbra-joan-streisand-r24151/credits |title=Barbara Joan Streisand: Credits |work=AllMusic |access-date=January 31, 2012}} because Streisand had wanted to record with a small band.

The group continued to pick up well-known fans; David Bowie sent the group a letter admiring their work and invited the band to a post-show party where he showed them mime techniques. With young engineer Leslie Ann Jones as their road manager and live sound mixer,{{sfn|Gaar|2002|p=142}} Fanny toured worldwide, opening for Slade, Jethro Tull and Humble Pie, gaining widespread popularity in the United Kingdom. A 1971 article in Sounds remarked that the group "seems that they are the support group to everyone these days".{{cite news |title= Military Madness |newspaper=Sounds |publisher= Spotlight Publications |date= August 28, 1971|page= 3}} The group made several live television appearances during tours, including The Sonny and Cher Show, American Bandstand, The Old Grey Whistle Test and Beat-Club.{{cite web|url=http://www.fannyrocks.com/about-2/|title=About Fanny|website=Fanny Rocks |access-date=February 23, 2019}}

The group's third album, Fanny Hill (1972) featured the Beatles' engineer Geoff Emerick in addition to Perry's production. It included covers of the Beatles' "Hey Bulldog" (with a new verse) and Marvin Gaye's "Ain't That Peculiar". The latter featured regular Rolling Stones saxophonist Bobby Keys, and was released as a single, reaching number 85 on the Billboard Hot 100.{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/fanny-hill-mw0000837823|title=Fanny Hill – Fanny|website=AllMusic|access-date=February 23, 2019}} Fellow Stones sideman Jim Price also played brass on the album.{{cite AV media notes|title=Fanny Hill|publisher=Reprise Records|id=K44174|year=1972}} Rolling Stone wrote a rave review of the album, praising the group's musical skills and particularly June's ability to play both lead and rhythm guitar.{{cite magazine|last1=Edwards|first1=Gavin|title=20 Rock Albums Rolling Stone Loved in the 1970s That You Never Heard|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/20-rock-albums-rolling-stone-loved-in-the-1970s-that-you-never-heard-20150611/fanny-fanny-hill-20150611|magazine=Rolling Stone|publisher=Rolling Stone|access-date=February 25, 2018|date=June 11, 2015}}

Their fourth album, Mothers Pride (1973), was produced by Todd Rundgren. By the time Mothers Pride was released, June was feeling constrained by the group format. The record label wanted her to wear certain designer clothes and adopt a hard rock image, which she resisted. She decided to quit the group, later saying "I needed to figure out who I was" while she regularly clashed with Barclay due to conflicting personalities. June moved to Woodstock, New York to study Buddhism, but insisted that the group continue without her.

De Buhr also left the band, with a returning Brandt replacing her on drums. Patti Quatro (sister of Suzi Quatro) replaced June on guitar. This lineup signed with Casablanca Records and released the final Fanny album, Rock and Roll Survivors, in 1974. The first single, "I've Had It" reached number 79 on the Billboard Hot 100.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/fanny|title=Fanny|magazine=Billboard|access-date=February 27, 2019}} Brandt left the band shortly after the album's completion when she married composer James Newton Howard, and was briefly replaced by Cam Davis. During this time, Fanny backed Keith Moon on his cover of their "Solid Gold" for his album Two Sides of the Moon. Another recording they did with Moon, "I Don't Suppose", was not released until a years later reissue of the album. Barclay quit the group at the end of 1974 to pursue other interests. Concurrently, the album's second single, "Butter Boy", written by Jean about Bowie, became their biggest hit, reaching number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1975. By the time that single was released, the group had split.{{cite web|url=http://www.fannyrocks.com/about-2/the-end-of-the-road/|title=The End of the Road|publisher=Fanny (official website)|access-date=February 24, 2019}}

After the breakup in 1975, the Millington sisters put together a new line-up of Fanny for a short tour, though no older Fanny material was played. This group ultimately morphed into a renamed all-women band called the L.A. All-Stars. Some interest was shown by record labels who stipulated that the band tour as Fanny and play only Fanny songs, which June opposed. This ended the chance of a Fanny reunion.

June subsequently released three solo albums in the 1980s and has had a career as a producer for artists including Holly Near, Cris Williamson and Bitch and Animal. She operates the Institute for Musical Arts, a non-profit organization supporting girls and women in music.{{cite magazine|first=Roberta|last=Russell|title=June Millington's Attitude of Fearlessness|magazine=Expository Magazine|date=August 3, 2004|url=http://www.expositorymagazine.net/2004/june-millington.php|access-date=February 23, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070403140849/http://www.expositorymagazine.net/2004/june-millington.php|archive-date=April 3, 2007|url-status=dead}}{{cite book|first=Elizabeth|last=Hinkle-Turner|title=Women Composers and Music Technology in the United States: Crossing the Line|publisher=Ashgate Publishing, Ltd|year=2006|page=213}} Jean was married to Bowie's guitarist Earl Slick for a time and later became an herbalist.

De Buhr later worked in marketing for several major record labels, and promoted the Go-Go's, who cited Fanny as an influence.{{cite web|url=https://globegazette.com/news/local/former-resident-part-of-pioneering-female-rock-band/article_b34dd8d7-f430-57d7-8e37-eb5994e71365.html|title=Former resident part of pioneering female rock band|author=Mary Pieper|website=Mason City Globe Gazette|date=March 14, 2005 }} She collaborated with Real Gone Music in a reissue program for the group's albums.

Patti Quatro continued to work as a session musician for her sister Suzi and was involved in the reissue of material by the Quatro sisters' early band the Pleasure Seekers.{{cite news|url=https://www.austinchronicle.com/music/2011-07-29/the-pleasure-seekers/|title=The Pleasure Seekers|work=Austin Chronicle|date=July 29, 2011|access-date=February 26, 2019}} Brie Brandt, later known as Brie Howard-Darling and currently as Brie Darling, had an active post-Fanny career, fronting the bands American Girls, which released one album in 1986,{{cite AV media notes|title=American Girls|publisher=IRS Records|id=IRS-5702|year=1986}} and Boxing Gandhis, which has released four albums since the mid-1990s.{{sfn|Strong|Griffin|2008|p=311}} She has also acted in films such as 1982's Android{{cite book|title=Androids, Humanoids, and Other Science Fiction Monsters: Science and Soul in Science Fiction Films|first=Per|last=Schelde|publisher=NYU Press|page=254|year=1994|isbn=978-0-814-77995-8}} and is the mother of Playboy Playmate Brandi Brandt.{{sfn|Strong|Griffin|2008|p=311}} Quatro and Brandt both toured with Electric Light Orchestra and appeared on the album A New World Record in 1976.{{cite AV media notes|title=Eldorado / A New World Record|publisher=Columbia|id=SMPACK10|year=1997}}{{Cite web |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=U9IxDwAAQBAJ&dq=Patti+Quatro,+Brie+Brandt,+Addie+Lee:+backing+vocals&pg=PT78 |title=Electric Light Orchestra: Song by Song |access-date=March 17, 2023 |archive-date=April 12, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230412050432/https://books.google.com/books?id=U9IxDwAAQBAJ&dq=Patti+Quatro,+Brie+Brandt,+Addie+Lee:+backing+vocals&pg=PT78 |url-status=dead |last1=Kiste |first1=John Van der |date=August 19, 2017 }}

In 2002, Rhino Records released the limited edition 4-CD box set First Time in a Long Time, which collected Fanny's first four studio albums along with live recordings, outtakes, and promotional items. A reunion concert featuring the Millington sisters and de Buhr (Barclay declined to appear for health reasons) was held at Berklee College of Music on April 20, 2007, where the band members received the ROCKRGRL Women of Valor award for their achievements.{{cite web|title=ROCKRGRL To Present Women Of Valor Award To Fanny, The First All Female Band To Release Major Label Album|url=http://www.mi2n.com/print.php3?id=96988|website=Music Industry News Network|access-date=February 25, 2018|date=January 31, 2007}} The first four original Fanny albums are available on Real Gone records, with updated liner notes, pictures, and new mixes.{{cite web|title=Real Gone Reissues Fanny's Mother's Pride|url=http://www.thatdevilmusic.com/2016/06/real-gone-reissues-fannys-mothers-pride.html|website=That Devil Music|access-date=February 25, 2018|date=June 17, 2016}}

Fanny was not the first all-female rock band to sign with a major label, coming after Goldie and the Gingerbreads and the Pleasure Seekers. However, the earlier groups released only singles, so Fanny were the first all-female ensemble to release a full-length album on a major label and one of the first to achieve top 40 success on the Billboard Hot 100.{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/fanny-p17433/charts-awards/billboard-singles |title=Chart Awards: Fanny |website=Allmusic |access-date=July 1, 2011}} Fanny's music was influenced by the Beatles and the Funk Brothers, the loose studio musician collective on Motown records.

The band resisted suggestions by the record company to dress in a typical girl group style or emphasize any sex appeal; the band also rehearsed regularly, wanting to acquire a reputation based on their musical talent.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.loudersound.com/features/fanny-the-untold-story-of-the-original-queens-of-noise|title=Fanny: The Untold Story Of The Original Queens Of Noise|first=Geoff|last=Barton|author-link=Geoff Barton|magazine=Classic Rock|date=September 4, 2015|access-date=March 13, 2019}} Jean later said that Fanny had to have a strong live presence in order to overcome audience's perceptions that women could not play rock music well.{{sfn|Carson|Lewis|Shaw|2015|p=84}} June added, "We knew we had to prove we could play and deliver live. Otherwise, no one would believe it."

The group were more successful in the UK and Europe, where audiences appreciated their music and respected their work, than in the US. De Buhr was disappointed to discover that some record company executives merely treated Fanny as a gimmick that should not be taken seriously. Promoter Bill Graham was reluctant to give the group a headlining slot at venues, for fear the group would split up as the members got married and had children, though the group have stressed this was due to business pragmatics and not chauvinism. During tours, female fans would ask the group how to form a band.{{cite magazine|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hQ8EAAAAMBAJ&q=billboard+fanny&pg=RA1-PA12|title=There aren't many girls in hard rock, but a new day (and attitude) is dawning|magazine=Billboard|page=12|date=November 6, 1971|access-date=February 26, 2019}} Later all-female bands such as the Runaways and the Bangles cited Fanny as a key influence.

A retrospective review of the group's career in Rebeat stressed that Fanny were simply a good band, irrespective of gender.{{cite magazine|url=http://www.rebeatmag.com/album-fanny-fanny-hill/|title=Fanny – Fanny Hill|magazine=Rebeat Magazine|access-date=February 27, 2019}} June has been praised for her guitar skills, and was described by Guitar Player as the hottest female guitar player in the music industry.{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zu3owmYkpZ0C&pg=PT74 |title=The Guitar Player Book: 40 Years of Interviews, Gear, and Lessons from the World's Most Celebrated Guitar Magazine |publisher=Backbeat Books|year=2007|isbn=978-0-879-30782-0|page=61 |access-date=July 25, 2014}} During her time in Fanny, she initially favored the Gibson ES-355 and Fender Twin Reverb amp, before acquiring a Gibson Les Paul Junior guitar and Traynor amplifiers. She used the Les Paul primarily for slide guitar playing. Jean's main instrument in Fanny was a 1963 Fender Precision Bass, which is still in her possession.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.vintageguitar.com/27947/fannys-june-millington/|title=Fanny's June Millington|magazine=Vintage Guitar|first=Kathleen|last=Johnson|date=September 2016|access-date=February 23, 2019}}

Little Feat bandleader Lowell George was a fan of Fanny and jammed with the group when they were in Los Angeles. In a 1999 interview with Rolling Stone, David Bowie revealed his respect for the band:

They were one of the finest fucking rock bands of their time, in about 1973. They were extraordinary: they wrote everything, they played like motherfuckers, they were just colossal and wonderful, and nobody's ever mentioned them. They're as important as anybody else who's ever been, ever; it just wasn't their time.
