  Fanny - '70s all-woman band profile bio   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Fanny was the first all-female rock act to record an entire album for a major record label, and in fact recorded five (5) albums for major labels.
In England, where the word 'fanny' evidently was and is a slang term for a woman’s vagina (a detail which Richard Perry in all probability knew when he thus christened the band), Fanny was greeted and hailed as outrageous feminists.
The individual women of Fanny and a few like bands who pioneered the concept of women as serious rock musicians are deserving of immense respect, if for no other reason then because they took all the crap that comes with being different, and then simply refused to go away.

The lineup in Fanny would change radically over time, but in the early years, the band was a tight quartet featuring June Millington on lead guitar, Jean Millington on bass, Nickey Barclay on keyboards and Iowa-bred Alice de Buhr on drums.
Fanny was influenced by many of the usual suspects: the Beatles, the Beach Boys, Stevie Wonder, the Band, Procol Harum and, later on, Laura Nyro.
Though Fanny's music was always melodic and poppy, the band's sound got a bluesier edge as time wore on, recalling other blues-influenced rock outfits of the time: the Stones, Cream, Little Feat.

 blood sisters: women in heavy music: fanny
Fanny were (arguably) the first all-female heavy band (at least, I don't know of any earlier) (cept Birtha, whose heaviness is more questionable, though they certainly rocked).
Fanny hardly sounds heavy now (kind of like Sabbath, who also started around 1970), but back in the day when men were rockstars and girls just squeezed their lemons, it must've been quite something to come across a bunch of gals rockin out (particularly sans the usual obligatory male backing band).
She was such a lesser talent, that it made my decision to leave the group easier.....in hindsight...a mistake, but I can say that 20+ years later.

Led by sisters June and Jean Millington, Fanny combined Beatle-esque pop with sweaty soul and the kind of unapologetically female swagger that you just never ran across back in the early ‘70s—no wonder they are and were hugely influential on the Runaways, the Go-Gos and other rockin’ distaff descendants!
Fanny came and went quickly on the scene never attaining the success they truly deserved.
Combining Badfinger type harmonies with a hard rocking style they were the prototype that inspired bands like Heart and, yes, even Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders to take up the guitar.

 Fanny - First Time In A Long Time: The Reprise Recordings - from Rhino Handmade
In 1968, after years of touring the West Coast in the all-female The Svelts, the Millingtons assembled a new band, Wild Honey, and took to the stage with original songs and folk and Motown covers.
With Perry at the console and soon-to-be-permanent member Nickey Barclay on keyboards, the band now named Fanny recorded its eponymous debut in L.A. Released in December of 1970, the album combined textured, Beatle-esque pop with sweaty soul, beefy riffs, and proto-Riot Grrrl swagger.
The studio albums Fanny (1970), Charity Ball (1971), Fanny Hill (1972), and the Todd Rundgren-produced Mother's Pride (1973) have been remastered from original master tapes and are included in their entirety.

 Isis
Many critics at the time compared ISIS to the band Chicago because the two bands had similar instrumentation, but in retrospect the comparison seems pretty flawed beyond the fact that both bands were "horn bands" as opposed to "guitar bands."
The underlying point was that the band was "different." Good different or bad different hardly mattered, ISIS was made up of women and that became the story, with their music made a secondary consideration.
The four remaining individual members of Goldie and the Gingerbreads, and later ISIS, were in both the first and fifth all-woman bands to be signed to a major label recording contract, with almost 9 years separating those two events.
