Although they didn’t achieve massive commercial success when they first arrived on the music scene in 1969, Fanny was the first all-female band to release an album on a major label. Since their split in 1975, they’ve been cited as one of the most influential female rock bands of all time. Originally calling themselves Wild Honey, the band was formed in Sacramento, California by sisters Jean Millington (bass / vocals) and June Millington (guitar / vocals), Nickey Barclay (keyboards / vocals), and Alice de Buhr (drums), the group moved to Los Angeles but found the competition was strong and the male-dominated music scene treated them like a novelty act. They decided to do one more open mic show at the Troubadour before heading back to Sacramento and were ‘discovered’ by producer Richard Perry’s secretary. Richard Perry helped the group land a recording contract with Warner Bros. Records. Their first album, Fanny, was released in 1970 and featured early singles "Ladies' Choice" and "New Day.” The band's second release, 1971's Charity Ball, reached number 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 with its title track. They released two more albums – Fanny Hill (1972) and Mothers Pride (1973) – before June Millington and Alice d Buhr left the group and were replaced by Suzi Quatro’s older sister Patti (guitar) and Brie Howard (drums) for the album Rock and Roll Survivors (1974). Fanny split up in 1975 and the members moved on to other projects. Over the years, their importance and influence were acknowledged by groups like the Runaways, the Go-Gos, the Bangles, and many others. In 2016, Brie Howard joined the Millington sisters for a liver performance, which inspired the three musicians starting a new project together called Fanny Walked the Earth. They released a self-titled album in 2018, which was the first time the three had recorded together in nearly 50 years.
