Led by sisters June and Jean Millington, the group Fanny group was also the first all-female band to release an album on a major label (their 1970 self-titled debut), according to Open Culture, after which they managed to land four singles on the Billboard Hot 100: "Charity Ball" from their 1971 album of the same name, a cover of Marvin Gaye’s “Ain’t That Peculiar” “I’ve Had It,” and “Butter Boy," the last of which went to #29 in 1975.
“For the longest time, we had first to prove that we could actually play,” bassist Jean told Guitar World in a recent interview.
Over time, however, the members of Fanny weren't just proving themselves to fans, they were winning over major rock stars, too.
Bowie was another famous contemporary who was a supporter of the band. In a 1999 interview with Rolling Stone, he called Fanny “one of the finest f—king rock bands of their time, in about 1973."
While Fanny broke up in 1975, original members Jean, June and Brie Howard-Darling reunited in 2018 for the album Fanny Walked the Earth, which also featured appearances by Kathy Valentine of the Go-Go’s, Susanna Hoffs and Vicki Peterson of the Bangles, and Runaways singer Cherie Currie.
