The documentary lovingly recounts the history of Fanny, beginning with the sisters June and Jean Millington, who were born in the Philippines to a white American naval officer father and a Filipina socialite mother. The group backed Barbra Streisand in the studio and performed on “The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour” and “American Bandstand.” The band scored two Top 40 hits - the swinging, soulful “Charity Ball” and the doo-wop-flavored “Butter Boy” - and played in the United States and abroad with Slade, Jethro Tull, Humble Pie, the Kinks and Chicago.
But she had never even heard of Fanny, despite the fact that it was the first all-female rock band to release an album on a major label.įanny put out a total of five albums between 19, one of which was produced by Todd Rundgren. Hart, now 56 and living in Montreal, grew up in a hippie household in California “with piles of LPs all over the place”: David Bowie, the Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, and on and on. In spring 2015, the documentary filmmaker Bobbi Jo Hart was clicking around the Taylor Guitars website, looking for a new instrument for her 10-year-old daughter, when she came across a short profile of June Millington, the singer and lead guitarist for the pioneering 1970s all-female rock group Fanny.
