This is literally one of my favorite Fanny tracks and live (in the studio, the track) performances. My brothers Steve and Jim remind me that they were with with us, in London, playing that percussion down the hall! The couldn't see us ... but certainly slammed! (none of us in the band really remembers the session).
I love you ladies. I'm so glad that a lot more people are finally getting to know you, though decades after the fact. Thank God for the Beat Club, internet, and TH-cam!
What do you think were the main reasons the band never became a major success? Bad management, naiveté, ahead of its time? I have been in the biz as long as you. Started in a cover band.
Hi! I wanted everyone to know that Jean is turning 70 tomorrow, May 25th, and working hard to get back to her bass ~ www.gofundme.com/jean-millington-go Thank you all who are pouring the love, notes, and donations her way towards the GO! stroke recovery fund. Incredible! I can tell you Jean's been blown away by all the love you all are showing, she didn't know she had so many friends and fans! When you write a note - that counts for a lot, too. Keep It coming Love! xx June
I'm such a later comer June, I feel so disgusted that Fanny never entered my stratosphere until a couple of months ago. That comes from living in Australia who never recognised you, Jean, Nicky & Alice at all. I apologise on behalf of out great nation. Seriously, Blind Alley is now my ringtone and I have watched the BBC live recording so many times now, I think the TH-cam version has worn out. Give my best to Jean , I will go to the go fund me age now.
@@Foxswoop I too just found this outstanding all female group....unfortunately it did not come sooner!! Fanny came in an era with strong cultural sexist bias! I'm grateful enough to have found this and that they never let our culture stop them from providing some of us with outstanding music. If it wasn't for the technology of today, I would have missed this opportunity! Thank GOD my parents raised me in a family where my mother & father shared roles. We as a society have a ways to go. I have several Fanny playlists created over the past 3 days, thank you June!
I can't believe I'm just now learning about this wonderful band. I'm now on a mission to spread the word -- not only are they historically important for their role in paving the way for female rockers and launching careers, but their sound is timeless and their talent was (is!) dazzling. They sound unbelievable. The quality of the videos is also great. And they seem like incredibly down-to-earth people, doing what they did because they loved doing it. I'm a fan of Fanny!
@@alicedebuhr6457 No, ma'am, we who love your music thank you soooooooooooooooo much. I listen to all your cds all the time and i have to buy more for my friend.
Captain Nice - The picture is of the band, The Svelts, the band that June and Jean started in high school. I started a band in high school called The Women (awful name, yes?), and Addie was in the California Girls. All of these morphed into Wild Honey, which signed the recording contract with WB/Reprise. We had changed the name to Fanny by the time Nickey joined. That was the foursome that recorded four albums and toured from 1969 to 1973. Thanks, Alice
@@alicedebuhr6457 Hi Alice, many thanks for the information on that photo of The Svelts. There is no more beautiful sight on this planet than beautiful women at the beach (with good music of course !!!) and that photo clearly shows why this is true. Did Wild Honey (or your group The Women) ever release any LP's while signed to WB/Reprise? By the way, around 1982, I lived not that far away from Fanny Hill (just above Sunset Blvd.). I lived just around the corner from IRS Records (A&M Records) located on Sunset Blvd and LaBrea Ave. I believe you were at IRS Records then???
my new guitar hero, discovered 50 years after she should have been discovered. It's criminal you weren't given the recognition back then you deserved. gotta say, you play some mean slide guitar, LOVE IT! Rock on, June. \m/
I would love it if Fanny released a live album. The studio albums are great, but the live performances have an edge that leaves no doubt as to the remarkable talent of each and every member of the band.
There is a great video of them playing a great set live (without an audience) on the German TV show Beat Club. th-cam.com/video/Zcb1HpH42N8/w-d-xo.html
We have a live show that was recorded for a radio broadcast - "Fanny: Live In 1972" available with the other 4 CD's at Fannyrocks.com, and we've started a "Get Behind Fanny" podcast available there and Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeart Radio. Thanks, pmz62! Alice
I was a kid in the seventies and too young to appreciate this brilliant band and their music. Today it's still so much pleasure to listen to your music.
This is so perfect and uplifting! I only discovered Fanny a few months ago and I’m making up for lost time... June, Jean, Nickey and Alice have it all!!! If you haven’t checked their BeatClub set, please do so!!! Thanks for posting this joyous cut, June; it’s getting me through these weird times! ❤️
Listen to the fade-out riff, then to that of "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me" by Linda Ronstadt. Fanny were about three years ahead of the pack! Awesome band, whom I feel really privileged to have seen in 1971. :-))
I'm so happy to find about this band, i really love your music, and i watched your videos so many times that i fell like i know you. It is so good to find out a hole new history of albuns from a "new" band that really moves me, i do not have to open youtube to listen to you, i wake up with in my head. Thank you so much for there, love from Brazil!
Right? And I don't even remember recording that! We just blew that stuff out into the air, 'cause we loved those songs. Started in '64, before they got their first hits, and played them at so many dances! xx
@@JuneEsWorld Ms Millington, my apologies for the delayed reply... I'm so honoured by your response and the insight and recollection into your efforts and perspectives during those days. So glad the world is looking back now and honouring your individual and collective talents and significant contribution to music!
@@JuneEsWorld yo" thanks for reading my comment June. dnt get me wrong though., i love all your written songs especially the ones with acoustics. you guys inspired me to play music again. tnx
Listening to this song reminds me that there's something very wrong with the music biz. THIS RECORDING in another HIT that never was. I admit that I already know and love FANNY. Before I hears the vocals, I knew the sound of Alice's drums.Then the rest of of it was simple for me to dig. There is not even one song by Fanny or be June that I haven't loved. Thanks for sending
It's such a shame that I had to live to be 52 years old until TH-cam pushed Fanny onto me. You were such a great band, great musicians, great songs. And @June Millington, you are such a good guitar player, I really love how you switch to the slide inbetween - wish I could do that. I might suggest one of your songs to my band to cover - and to honor you!
I just answered another comment about someone who is working on that and that I'm not holding my breath, but we're getting a lot of new exposure, so I suppose I should say, "Never say never?" Alice
@@alicedebuhr6457 You never know. I thought ELO & KISS and a few others would have been in 20 years ago and they finally made. There's little rhyme or reason to who gets in. Tina Turner and Thin Lizzy are still waiting as well. Thanks for getting those videos up there.
Got into "Ladies on the Stage" recently via Linda Tillery's sublime cover of "Heaven Is In Your Mind." You guys were the true vanguards, genre-hopping (with ease) before it was a thing. Thank you for persisting. Thank you for the beautiful music.
thought it was decent, then it really turns on at the 2 minute mark. really just a fantastic synergy of performers. individually they are amazing, together they are DYNAMITE
Someone is going to say Under-rated... sheesh. Look, there are 10 to the power of 15 bands on Earth .. if you make a record you are already beating the odds. Give it away, people. Ratings are meaningless.
Thank you! I so loved re-discovering this ... Jean and I don't remember recording it at all, but it sounds like we were having fun! (London, as one of my brothers recalled. Steve and Jim were visiting, and they remember playing percussion live in a back room, no visuals - just headphones! - June
@@JuneEsWorld You must have been very busy back then....... I truly hope that social media will bring to light the large body of work that you've created over decades
This June - what a wonder! More ways than I can say. From very limited viewing on my part, she must be a beautiful person that gives off that extra oxygen into the room. You walk out more than you were, I think. Not a bad songwriter to boot~
Amazing! I can't get enough - not one bad note - every instrument rocks like Grand Funk & Deep Purple! Musicians Musicians! 4 Musicians with perfect pitch on their instruments! I would love to improve my playing to this level!
Awesome song! I’m happy Fanny is making a comeback. They maybe the salvation rock n roll need in a time where a new generation is not. One for the next generation!
You know, I think so too! (and Jean and I don't even remember the session! ~ it was in London, though, and my brothers remember - they were along on that our, and played percussion:)) xx
All right! And, if I might mention, I have a new album just releasing called "Snapshos," which Jean's son Lee worked with me on a lot. If interested, go to www.ima.org/snapshots/ and follow the prompts! Lemme know what you think ... (I'm super-proud and excited about this one:)) xx
Fabulous. Your talent and skill are outstanding. Your choice of classic tunes to perform and revise leaves your audience with a satisfying appreciation of your skill.
Somebody's working on that, but I'm not holding my breath! Check out the "Get Behind Fanny" podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart radio, and of course....fannyrocks.com! Thanks Dennis! Alice
This band is as good any other 70's rockers, from Dobbie Brothers to CCR, Fanny has all the talent required the makes them an outstanding Rock Band. Frost
Anyone know what happened to that video. I watched it last year and ended up buying there CD set after looking into them more. But now that Germany video doesn't show up on TH-cam. Shame because I was trying to convince others who they were and get some reaction videos from others to react to them.
So I have spent quite some time going through TH-cam lately for Fanny live videos. Which has been very rewarding. One thing though - I find it a bit annoying with all the comments pointing out that they were an all-female band. I mean, sure, they were pioneers. But at the core of it you have the music and the energy, the rock and the roll and the soul and the heart. And that's what matters. The only reason I can find to mention their gender is that it's very appealing not getting any of that boring old cock rock macho posing with the package. I mean, I do love a lot of all-male bands but honestly, all that posin' can become too much every now and then.
Aw, I'm so glad to see these responses - haven't looked since I posted, as you see! (by the way, you - anyone - can write me at www.june,illington@gmail.com) Thanks! - June
@@JuneEsWorld So...about an hour ago I saw a post of a video from TH-cam on Facebook, Obviously I'm a bit impressed, having found my way to this: www.june,illington@gmail.com; that does not look like a proper e-mail, not that I'm judging, just wanted to write you and tell you how how much I've enjoyed the last hour.
@@JuneEsWorld It is! Also, the thumbnail picture - is there any way I could purchase a poster of that? That is such a beautiful photo, I would love to have that framed in my house. Thanks June!
@@JuneEsWorld Thanks for the confirmation June, I love reading about all our your history and how the band developed. I was in the concert promotion business many years ago and miss it every day, I am glad that you and Jean were able to keep the music alive in your lives. I hope Jean is doing better now, from your posts it seems she is getting stronger each day. Keep safe... Gary
The world wasn't ready then for an all female ROCK band, and to a large extent still isn't. Name ONE other all female ROCK band. Heart? Nope, half&half, abba, same thing. With the sole exception of the Bangles any other band is going to be less well known. Joan Jett, original band the Runaways, all women, lasted 3 years. Her much more successful, The Black Hearts, all men save Joan. The music industry loves female acts like Perry, Jackson, Beyonce, Swift, all good, but an all female band aspiring to be the next Beatles or the Stones, good luck with that. Fanny was a rare bird indeed...and against all odds...
Damn shame this wasn't top 40 back in the day...Hopefully social media will help recognition of how good this band was {is}......Perhaps an "influencer" could get things rolling?
Of course I knew that, we did it in the Svelts too. But, you know, TH-cam has kicked my posts off for using our own Fanny material, in some cases my own songs - for example, "Think about the Children" since maybe 2006 .. that I stopped putting in the song titles. Many other people are consistently allowed, though.
@@JuneEsWorld Excuse me for my English because I am French. I hope I understood everything from your message. It's a shame for them, but that won't stop me from appreciating your work. Good luck to you. A thousand bravo from France.
Uh, no ~ I haven't dropped out, not at all. Played on "Fanny Walked the Earth" (some of my songs are on it), been playing at the doc FANNY: the Right to Rock premiers, and am about to put out a new album, "Snapshots." Check it out, in about a month - it's just about to drop.
I think you're right. I think you ladies were just too ahead of the curve. If you look at other, similar female acts (that sang but didn't necessarily play) like Eve, Mama Lion, Melanie didn't transition well into the 70's.... and just between you and me.... I don't think Janis Joplin would have been as popular as she was had she not.... y'know.... passed on. Hell, even Linda Rondstadt had a bit of a rough start and had a hard time being taken seriously and today she's thought of as one of the fore-runners of female rockers. I really don't know if you could've done anything differently.... I just hate to think that - as a man - we're so ignorant as to pass over amazing talent just because it comes from a woman. Had I been around in '72.... I'd have definitely been buying your records; but I dig the esoteric. It does make me happy to know that you're finally getting some recognition. I recently watched the documentary "Right to Rock" and I'm comfortable enough to admit I got a little choked up at parts. What a journey! Bless you all and keep on showin' us how it's done!
I think fany is a great band but could have been a lot bigger had they added a male vocalist.there were lots of male bands with female singers but no female bands with male singers and a male voice would have brought balance to the band. problem with all girl singing is you have to keep your melodies in a higher register
Jean and June Millington (bass and guitar respectively ) are both not in the best of health. Alice de Buhr the drummer has her own TH-cam channel. Nicky Barclay on piano and vocals left the music business.

Aw, I'm so glad to see these responses - haven't looked since I posted, as you see! (by the way, you - anyone - can write me at www.june,illington@gmail.com) Thanks! - June
@@JuneEsWorld So...about an hour ago I saw a post of a video from TH-cam on Facebook, Obviously I'm a bit impressed, having found my way to this: www.june,illington@gmail.com; that does not look like a proper e-mail, not that I'm judging, just wanted to write you and tell you how how much I've enjoyed the last hour.
My best regards to you, June, and to everyone. Thank you.
Pete, you are so welcome. (I hope you see this ~ I'm late!!:)) xx
I miss the seventies
I remember every year ... so much going on. xx
Easily one of my favorite Fanny tracks... next to No Deposit, No Return. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you ~ it really is "boss," Isn't it?
@@JuneEsWorld It is! Also, the thumbnail picture - is there any way I could purchase a poster of that? That is such a beautiful photo, I would love to have that framed in my house. Thanks June!
Great stuff I'm listening every day. No t shirts?

Well, you can get a "Miss Millington" t-shirt at www.ima.org Check it out, go under "HelpOut" to Merchandise! It's ... pretty groovy. xx
The beach picture was the Svelts. It was the Millington girl's first real band, back in Sacramento while in High School.
Yes, that is right. And we were tight!!! xx
@@JuneEsWorld Thanks for the confirmation June, I love reading about all our your history and how the band developed. I was in the concert promotion business many years ago and miss it every day, I am glad that you and Jean were able to keep the music alive in your lives. I hope Jean is doing better now, from your posts it seems she is getting stronger each day. Keep safe... Gary
@@JuneEsWorld If the beach photo is the Svelts, which one is Addie Lee?
A very tasty gui-tar fill by June at 1:15
HA ~ thank you!!! xx
Love ya June
The world wasn't ready then for an all female ROCK band, and to a large extent still isn't. Name ONE other all female ROCK band.
Heart? Nope, half&half, abba, same thing. With the sole exception of the Bangles any other band is going to be less well known. Joan Jett, original band the Runaways, all women, lasted 3 years. Her much more successful, The Black Hearts, all men save Joan. The music industry loves female acts like Perry, Jackson, Beyonce, Swift, all good, but an all female band aspiring to be the next Beatles or the Stones, good luck with that. Fanny was a rare bird indeed...and against all odds...
Go-go's, The Liver Birds, Surfrajettes and many more.
მაგარია!
Damn shame this wasn't top 40 back in the day...Hopefully social media will help recognition of how good this band was {is}......Perhaps an "influencer" could get things rolling?
Let's do it!!!
As of the beginning of August Fanny music is now available on AMI jukebox music systems - thanks to an "influencer" :)
big love !
Back atcha!! ~ June
@@JuneEsWorld o wow I am such a big fan ... since whenever when ... how is Jean doin'? ... hope all is well .. amsterdam loves ya !
sended a friend request on FB ...
these kids remind me of you ... th-cam.com/video/Dvc3UVg5PDE/w-d-xo.html
@@hypedelic Jean is definitely working on it, every day ~ steady as she goes, and getting better. xx
Hey June... I think that's your Paul on this track, instead of your red 335 ? Great song..is that a cover, or yours / Thanks! JT
Fanny is s good 👍
The title is "Back in My Arms Again"
Of course I knew that, we did it in the Svelts too. But, you know, TH-cam has kicked my posts off for using our own Fanny material, in some cases my own songs - for example, "Think about the Children" since maybe 2006 .. that I stopped putting in the song titles. Many other people are consistently allowed, though.
@@JuneEsWorld Excuse me for my English because I am French. I hope I understood everything from your message. It's a shame for them, but that won't stop me from appreciating your work. Good luck to you. A thousand bravo from France.
Good tune. I am sorry June dropped out of the music business. She was a badass guitar player. The band has a great groove.
Uh, no ~ I haven't dropped out, not at all. Played on "Fanny Walked the Earth" (some of my songs are on it), been playing at the doc FANNY: the Right to Rock premiers, and am about to put out a new album, "Snapshots." Check it out, in about a month - it's just about to drop.
Ah, a _Supremes_ song. Could this be a pointed middle-finger salute (see what I did there?) to N.B.?
N.B.?
Your old pal Nickey-she was quoted as saying her first impression of Wild Honey was negative because you were doing Supremes material.
I think you're right. I think you ladies were just too ahead of the curve. If you look at other, similar female acts (that sang but didn't necessarily play) like Eve, Mama Lion, Melanie didn't transition well into the 70's.... and just between you and me.... I don't think Janis Joplin would have been as popular as she was had she not.... y'know.... passed on. Hell, even Linda Rondstadt had a bit of a rough start and had a hard time being taken seriously and today she's thought of as one of the fore-runners of female rockers. I really don't know if you could've done anything differently.... I just hate to think that - as a man - we're so ignorant as to pass over amazing talent just because it comes from a woman. Had I been around in '72.... I'd have definitely been buying your records; but I dig the esoteric.
It does make me happy to know that you're finally getting some recognition. I recently watched the documentary "Right to Rock" and I'm comfortable enough to admit I got a little choked up at parts. What a journey! Bless you all and keep on showin' us how it's done!
Who's doing vocals on this track?
Hi Larry, that'd be me, Jean, and Nicky. It was obviously fun!
🤓
I think fany is a great band but could have been a lot bigger had they added a male vocalist.there were lots of male bands with female singers but no female bands with male singers and a male voice would have brought balance to the band. problem with all girl singing is you have to keep your melodies in a higher register
Is 63 too old to be a groupie? 🤠
wonder whatever happened to all of them after their successes with this band
Jean and June Millington (bass and guitar respectively ) are both not in the best of health. Alice de Buhr the drummer has her own TH-cam channel.
Nicky Barclay on piano and vocals left the music business.
