- FANNY: The Right to Rock Official Film Trailer
"Revivify Fanny. And my work will be done." - David Bowie
WORLD PREMIERE at HOT DOCS INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENTARY FESTIVAL 2021!
FANNY: The Right to Rock celebrates the untold story of one of the most important rock bands you've never heard of. Back in the 1960s, three Filipina American teenagers played together in a self-founded, 1960's Sacramento garage band... which morphed into the ferocious rock group Fanny, the first band of women to release an LP with a major label (Warner/Reprise, 1970). Despite releasing five critically acclaimed albums, counting David Bowie as one of their most vocal fans, Fanny's groundbreaking impact in music has been lost in the mists of time... until bandmates reunite 50 years later with a new rock record deal and chance to right the wrongs of music history. Also features music icons Joe Elliott, Bonnie Raitt, Todd Rundgren, Kathy Valentine, Kate Pierson, John Sebastian, Cherie Currie, Charles Neville, Gail Ann Dorsey, Earl Slick and Jeff "Skunk" Baxter. Photography Credits: Linda Wolf, Marita Madeloni, Sherry Rayn Barnett. #GetBehindFanny #GetBehindFannyPodcast www.fannythemovie.com
I may lose my job trying to get these women into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. They truly deserve it!
It'll be a hard slog, but I thank you for trying! Alice
@@alicedebuhr6457 you just put me on cloud nine by responding. I dont think you truly understand how much your band meant to people. God Bless!
@@alicedebuhr6457 because of Fanny, young women like these stand a better chance than before (another sister act) ua-cam.com/video/3_RB0tRI624/v-deo.html Thank You Alice
Yes, they do!
@@timsullivan67 It's hard to get the time to respond on these UA-cam videos, but I'm trying! LOL! Alice
I got to open for them in Madison, Wisconsin exactly 50 years ago. They were great and so much better than my boy band. That was the only time I ever felt like a groupie.
LOVE this, Steven! ~ Alice
I bet the
show was a blast and both your bands played well! What a cool memory!
@@alicedebuhr6457 on beat club video clips there's a outtakes on a couple of songs find them interesting!
How long was your set? Did you play all originals or some covers, too? Shawn R., Mo-Mutt Music/Sacred & Secular
Cool! In 79 I lived in Madtown...saw the Kinks and the Cars at Dane county colosseum (separately) ended coming back 3 years later for college..good times!
I saw them in 1974 at Newcastle Odeon (UK) when they supported Jethro Tull. I had seen them on TV but no-one had any idea they were the support band as it had not been publicised anywhere. I've always thought it was a deliberate move as female bands were very rare. They came on to an unlit stage wearing black hooded cloaks playing some good strong licks then the cloaks were ripped off as the lights flashed on and 'boom' they had everyone's attention. I remember the power went down early in the set and the drummer (Alice de Buhr?) carried on with an impromptu 20-30min solo while roadies with torches ferreted around in the dark. It was a memorable night for a 17yr old.
Great story, thanks for sharing it.
I was there at that gig alsi. I was 13.
'Power just happened to go out'? They were 'That Good' Yet didnt fit the 'Status Rock Quoe' No Coincidence at All! _Rock on Fanny!🌈🎛🎸🎼🔊🗺
Lived in Newcastle at the time. It was definitely publicised, if you looked in the right places. That was Fanny vers. 2.0, so not Alice on drums. June Millington had also left by then, with Patti Quatro taking over guitar.
@@brassblues8866 Thank you so much for your support. Just FANNY please, skip 1.0, 2.0...Once again, we don't categorize the Rolling Stones, or Kiss...etc. That was Cammy Davis on drums at that show, she replaced me (Brie) after I left the band after touring the states in support of Rock and Roll Survivors
Seems like the youtube algorithm turned a lot of us onto Fanny a couple of years ago. I was stunned that I'd never heard of them. Clearly a revolutionary band.
@AnarchoRepublican I beg to differ...... Alice
Thank you, Gamby16a! Appreciate the support! ~ Alice
@@alicedebuhr6457 Hey Alice! This is cool!
I first saw one of your videos about a year ago. I thought you all sounded amazing, but your wardrobe was a little out of style... until I realized it was a rehearsal film from '70 or '71. I couldn't believe that sound was coming from a band I'd never heard of. No disrespect intended... I was born in '67... but its pretty clear that you ladies never got the credit you deserved. I'm glad that some of the great female bands that followed recognize the doors you helped open for them.
With any luck the documentary will open some new eyes as to how great Fanny was. I didn't see Nickey in the clip, so hopefully she's doing well and was able to participate in some way. I hope the film does well for all of you.
Take care. :-)
I used to curse the UA-cam algorithm… but then it showed me Fanny. And I had to take back all the nasty shit I said about it.
@@marthajbaldwin5897 I'd say a band of young women playing this aggressively was totally revolutionary in the early 70's. The next notable band who did the same was The Runaways--who were also pretty revolutionary.
I say this as a naysaying music snob who taught history of rock at the college level for 12 years, so I'm giving them huge props.
I don't know why "rock is a man's game". From this guy's perspective, there's nothing sexier than a woman who can rock like Fanny did.
Thank you flowood piano! ~ Alice
@@alicedebuhr6457 Hey Alice my name's Ned, my wife and I love Fanny. I'm a drummer for 40 + years and you rock that kit like a boss !! Those tom tom beats in Blind Alley, those "haymaker" style cymbal crashes, as well as the rest of your playing is inspiring. Thank you and rock some more.
A lot of gays feel that way.
Forget the fact all 4 members were attractive, they were phenomenal musicians!
I guess that we all know Chi Coltrane? She rocked big time too.
But my guess is that back in the 70’s girls just weren’t concidered as being able to rock. Fanny rocked, The Runaways rocked, Chi, Tina and Suzy dit too but there was always the thought that they were only around for their good looks.
But man, did they rock.
Fanny Deserve to be in the ROCK and ROLL HALL OF FAME......NUFF SAID!!!
It took 20 Feet from Stardom to get Darlene Love inducted. Maybe this will get them recognized.

Oh, knock it off with this RRHOF bullshit. Giving this circle jerk organization of elitists way too much press.
@@canadianroot I agree eh! Fanny DON'T need those pretentious wankers from RS Magazine!
hahaha the Rock and roll hall of fame can eat shit
The recognition these ladies deserve is long overdue! Can’t wait to see the film.
Thank you, Stephen! ~ Alice
Nice to see FANNY getting some of the attention they deserve.
ITS ABOUT TIME...
Thank you! Alice
@@zombiespongebob6903 I know, right? Bring it on! ~ Alice
Back in the 1970s, bands succeeded or failed based upon musical talent. Today, success is all about race and gender. The revived fortunes of “Fanny” are testament to that. 🤷♂️
FANNY were no one-hit wonder. They made history instead. And that ain‘t peculiar.
"It wasn't through talking....We just fucking did it."
That attitude is why their music rocks!
I just discovered them, they really make me vibrate. I am glad that they are being recognized at this time because young women need brave and talented women to follow. A hug from Mexico
Thank you, Lorena! ~ Alice
Never heard of them until today. Unbelievable. Life is not fair. They rock!
I'm embarrassed and sad AS HELL, I just heard about this group in my 65th year!!😮😮😮 And I listened to a LOT of music and sought out ALL kinds of artists...never heard of these amazing musicians!! God love you ladies, you deserved SO MUCH more from your professional musical exposure!
So glad I stumbled across this.❤❤❤
You're not alone. I'm 70 and am just hearing of them. What a kick-ass band!
Totally in the same boat. Really don't know why I've never heard of them until now. But that's music for you - always so much to discover and learn!
I feel the same way. Just found out about them yesterday and I was in high school from 1970 through 1974. But better late than never as they say. I have to see that documentary.
It's never too late to enjoy what we did some 50 years ago. I STILL like listening to the LPs at times! Alice
Me too. 65. :/
Stumbled onto Fanny through UA-cam a three years ago and told all my friends "you have to check this band out, because they rock!" Glad to see they may finally get the recognition they deserve!!
same
Same here. I’m not surprised why I didn’t hear of them when I was two in 1970. I’m surprised it took me until a couple years ago to hear their music, especially since I was into classic rock of the 60s and 70s as a teenager.
Same here. I think their new popularity on UA-cam finally did the trick for them. It's a crime how they got burried like that.
Agreed. Sometimes that damn algorithm is brilliant.
Same here! I guess YT has some redeeming qualities after all.
They were carving a path where there was no path. Thanks for doing it for all the girls out there, offering the possibility, the dream.
If you heard nothing but the records you’d say they were really good band. But if you listen to the live recordings that’s where the magic is. They were phenomenal
Agreed. The musicianship is off he hook. That keyboard player! Ferocious!
100% … so true so true.
Word. Saw them live in the early 70's. Wow, just Wow!!!
@@mtlava Fucking lucky you!
well you can technically say that with all bands because any live show will kick ass (most of the time), but yeah I get what you mean
Hey everyone! Fanny will be performing a LiveStream Pocket Concert on May 5 during the Hot Docs Film Festival, and the world is invited to join in -- you won't want to miss this! More details here! twitter.com/hotdocsindustry/status/1377303096083243015/photo/1
Is there a recording available?
The fact that this band never made it big is one of the biggest travesities in rock history.
They made it, the public didn't get it. Male dominated music business. :(
@@frednouvertne4216 maybe they just weren't that good or interesting? There were hundreds of great bands back then who never made it/released an album that went no where and Fanny had nothing on many of them.
@@disprogreavette8545 after listening to them, I gotta disagree with you
@@gxtmfa I don't even remember leaving that comment but it sounds like I was grumpy with the middle aged blues. Cheers and you're most likely right.
@@disprogreavette8545 It's cool. You're entitled to your opinion. I respect that. Alice
Fantastic! They need to be inducted into the Hall of Fame too!
A fan recently started a FB page supporting that, so feel free to join the #GetBehindFanny convoy at: facebook.com/groups/489538768244638
@Lennie Minder "Really good" is subjective when referring to the Hall of Shame.
Deep Purple and Steppenwolf were really good yet neither band is in.
Fanny were and still are "really good" and are as deserving as much,if not more so, than many that are in the Hall of Shame.
@Lennie Minder David Bowie and a slew of other artists would disagree, as illustrated by the trailer.
@@t.sewell1513 I am sincerely curious. Can you be specific about what you like or dislike about Fanny? I mean particularly regarding their recordings and the clips of them on UA-cam etc.
@@t.sewell1513 Liked for the good conversation, but of course, I disagree.
We know that politics and money is involved with the RRHofF. Consider all of the artists both male and female who have never performed rock and roll but who have been inducted. It is actually a popular music hall of fame based on record sales etc. And even then popularity is not enough. Consider the number of artists who had to wait years to be inducted or who still haven't even been nominated.
The Beat Club clip, along with some of the clips of their live performances illustrate how good they were. They should have gotten in before Joan Jett and they should have been nominated before the Go Go's. Consider the era they came up in. Consider how they might have fared with MTV to assist in promoting them.
I think that the RRHoF is anti-rock and roll, but as long as there is one, Fanny should be in it.
'We broke through that barrier, and it wasn't through talking. We just fucking did it!' That did it for me. An awesome story.
@@marthajbaldwin5897 - Try watching the video.
@@marthajbaldwin5897 - I think they just rocked, perhaps at a time when women weren't meant to rock, musically, or something like that.
I was fortunate enough to see them in the early seventies. One of the best all female bands ever.
Fanny were an amazing group of musicians who were truely ahead of their time.
Thank you, Gabriel! ~ Alice

Thank you, David! ~ Alice
Finally, i've been watching that "Ain't that peculiar" video for a while now.
Because UA-cam told you to.
@@c-dublife And, it was a good....."I tell you to!" Alice
Fanny rocks. They are a jewel for anyone that wants to find them. And beautiful too.
"It was'nt through talking, we just Fucking did it" those words should be at the entrance to every universities entrances. If your good it dont matter what you are
Universities are woke enough 😂
They opened for Chicago the time I got to see them. They had a great song playing on the radio and Chicago was already well known. A concert I had to see. They did not disappoint!
That is some crazy killer tone, especially for the early 70s on the song 'Young and Dumb'. June's solo, like dayyyum, what amp and effects does she use?
Can't wait to hear more from Fanny!
What a FANTASTIC bio. These girls rocked like no other. The work they put into their sound is commendable.
I became a fan about 6 years ago. Just listening to them, and thinking about them, is bittersweet.
I stumbled across a live set they did for some TV show, which is on UA-cam somewhere. I’d never heard of them, and a minute into the first song, I couldn’t believe I’d never heard of them. I immediately wanted to know all about this great band that had somehow skipped past my radar.
Glad you "stumbled!" ~ Alice
@@alicedebuhr6457 Has the buzz around the doco led to any discussion of you guys recording/touring together again?
@@alicedebuhr6457 Charity Ball Rocks!!
@@fromchomleystreet Jean, June and myself (Brie) released a new record of all original songs under the album title FANNY WALKED THE EARTH. Alice and Patti (Fanny members) as well as some Go Gos, Bangles, Runaways and other legendary women musicians joined us...
@@fromchomleystreet That won't happen.....Nickey has retired from all music, and I have to give that peace to her! But, I'd love to record again! Alice
They may be the best rock band (female or otherwise) to “slip through the cracks” and be almost completely unheard of outside of their cult-like following. Fanny kicked some serious ass! Plain & simple...
Thank you, Rockin' Vida, plain & simple! ~ Alice
@@alicedebuhr6457 Alice, just wanted to say how much it means to us younger fans that you respond to our comments here.
@@RCAvhstape I try to check out the comments on a regular basis, but fall short quite often. Thanks for writing back to me! Alice
@@alicedebuhr6457 Always welcome.
As a kid in NC I owned several of their records because they were a DAMN good band. I wish I still had the albums. The ladies in this band were great musicians and once again are great musicians.
I am as big a music geek as it gets I was a teenager in the seventies. How in the hell did I miss these gals? Thanks for UA-cam making it possible for me to discover them
That's what I'm saying. I feel robbed.
Because there was a lot great music coming out and radio stations just didn’t play their tunes
Thanks, James! Alice
Just watched this the other night. Great story, but they definitely deserved to be more well-known than they were!!
One of the pioneering all-female rock bands along with Birtha and Isis. I still have all my Fanny albums and Isis' 'Ain't No Backin' up Now' on 8-track.
Great band. I remember Melody Maker running a headline back in the 70s: "Fanny splits, new member introduced!" Can you imagine?
Hahaha
More innuendos in that than a whole ‘Carry On’ Film oooh matron
@@TheFairway8 Phwoar fancy THAT 1 eh?
That sounds like it’s describing a birth.
@@fromchomleystreet EXACTLY! WHY do you think Hellen Reddy had that smirk on her face when she introduced them? Means the same to Aussies as it does to Poms!
Can't wait to see this. Even watching the old videos (thanks, UA-cam), you never really get the full story. This should be fascinating.
There is some footage of them playing on Dutch TV it’s just electrifying. So damned committed!
Ja
My mom was fanatic about Fanny, I remember dancing with her in the kitchen to Charity Ball when I was four. I've always had all their albums on one form or another. I also love loud ass rock, and frequently when blasting them out of my Jeep I get asked who they are...boggles the mind that Blind Alley wasn't a #1 hit in the USA
Where do you live? Such a beautiful memory!
The only place, for Rock and Roll. Memphis Tennessee.
When I was a kid, we had a run in with Elvis and George Kline at the Southbrook mall they both were super nice and took the time to ask me and my brother how we were doing (I was 5), since then I've been in love with rock and roll. Mom also had a couple of Birtha albums and we would jam to that a lot. Still really love all of Fanny's albums and cherish the fact that this music exists at all.
I saw them perform live on the Boston Common in 1970. They were phenomenal. I immediately went and got their album after that. I still have the album.
That was with Leon Russell, right? xx
@@JuneEsWorld Yes!!! One of my favorite concert memories! I remember it like it was yesterday!
I remember finding them on the internet and thinking "wow, what a great group!"
Thanks, guruuuDev! ~ Alice
This brought tears to my eyes. Finally! Would it be difficult to get nicky back on keys though?
A while back I saw a video on UA-cam and it's was these girls that looked the part. Well started to watch and at first it looked and sounded like a documentary kinda deal but then it happened. When they started to play I was floored but not because they were female but because they were AMAZING! When I instantly became a fan and today seeing this video well I am so happy it feels like it happened to me. I am a white with Cherokee blood male from Canada 🇨🇦 and am drums and guitar. No need for my words but this music is and always has been above and beyond the bar. Thank you for sharing your assume talent ♥️♥️♥️♥️
JP MJ - Thank you so much! Alice

@@alicedebuhr6457Totally amazing, thank you so much for taking the time out to reply to my small comment. Speechless I am today and you have made my day,week month. Thank you again so much 💖 💗 💓.
@@MrJpm1989 Well, ya know....I'm just another human being on this planet. It doesn't take much to thank you for your sweet words. They made MY day! Alice
If you've ever seen Fanny play live, the Beat Club video being a great example, you know that their producers were never able to capture that same magic in the studio. And that's a shame because they could really play.
The Beat Club videos are great!!!! They really bash out some solid, rich rock. Great example of that rich, early 70s rock sound.
That Beat Club live video take is a precious gem. That's how I discovered Fanny's live music. It could be a live mini-album.
They needed to do the Frampton thing. Should have done a live album if that's where they were at their best. Unfortunately I'm sure it wasn't up to the band to decide.
@@yepper1165 Wasn't their choice. The producer was responsible for not getting their live sound on the tracks. He even puts horns in one of the songs. The drummer commented on how adding 'horns' had nothing to do with their sound. Another example how people with all the power can effect people's art.
@@rollotomasi1873 That's really too bad! I know that's been the case with a lot of artists and groups. CCR and Steve Marriott come quickly to mind. Scumbag managers and trusting artists are a bad mix.
Still scratching my gray head. Yes, they were before MTV and VH1. But I listened to the radio, watched TV and went to concerts. And never knew nothing about these fabulous girls.
As far as the GoGos getting all the attention, the GoGos played radio friendly Pop songs. Fanny played some serious rock and roll. Fanny would have blown the GoGos off the stage. If anyone hasn't, check out that live Beat Club video. It's raw and it's real. So much more powerful than their records.
I totally agree!!! Damn, when June plays slide…
The Go Gos were also decades later.
Virginia viola about a decade. But consider the talent that Fanny had and compare that to The Runaways or The GoGos, and you have to question why even the Runaways are remembered more than Fanny.
Gary Jackson Fanny was selling musicianship, while The Runaways were selling sex appeal (Cherie Currie onstage in a negligee) over musicianship (they WERE competent musicians, just not as highly skilled types of which Fanny were in my opinion,) and the GoGos were selling pop hits and looks (even though they were terrors on the road which their “cuteness” hid.) Fanny simply did not create an image to sell (and they should not have had to.) Unfortunately in the music industry image can trump talent.
Thanks, Rumble Hat! I agree, and I like the French TV footage as well, even tho the sound isn't as good! ~ Alice
Fanny deserves credibility. They earned it!
Thanks, Bob! We worked our asses off! ~ Alice
@@alicedebuhr6457 I respect you all for who you are.
I just recently saw their cover of the Beatles “Hey Bulldog”. I was absolutely gobsmacked. What Stars!
I had heard of Fanny when they first came out. I recall they played locally, must have been many times, because that is where I remember hearing their name announced on the local AM radio. I regret not being more interested in seeing them at that time. I never did see many bands at that time, not enough $$$, even though tix were so “cheap” back then.
I sent Fanny details (Wikipedia and this video) to a very multi instrument talented young lady with a fantastic voice. Her name is Patty Pershayla and she does solo work, has a blues rock band called Patty Pershayla and The Mayhaps, and is the vocalist for what was once solely a Rush tribute band but now have three CD’s under their belt. They are YYNOT. She broke through with a ukulele cover of Rush’s “Closer to the Heart” on UA-cam a few years back. Novel and left the Rush fan base gobsmacked.. Hence I saw some commonality with the ukulele. Also the fact that she has always wanted to assemble an all female group
Wow that is so fucking cool! I always associated the Runaways with the start of the all woman band pioneers! Fanny looks cool then and they're still cool now! These are the true pioneers! Wow keep on rocking!!!
I remember Sandy West bringing me a Runaways demo tape when I worked at A&M Records. It was a few years after I left the band.....Thanks Nelson! ~ Alice
One of the very best straight-ahead hard-rock bands ever, regardless of gender.
"It wasn't through talkin'... we just f*ckin' did it!" Brilliant.
So so excited to see this and hoping one day to see them live! I think it’s their time to be the stars they should have been a long time ago.
Overwhelming musicianship and incredible professionalism. Needs a movie to tell their story. And if they aren't in the Hall of Fame already, that is a tragedy.
Fanny !!!! Rock and roll hall of fame now!!!!!
What a wonderful gem to stumble across. This has made my day. Love your music, you rock. I remember when Suzi Quattro was rockin' the world, Fanny deserved to be right with her smashing down barriers.
Good things come to those who wait. And some things are just over due.
🌴😎🌈Aloha 🤙🏼
Thank you, Cold Lava! ~ Alice
i wish i'd known about fanny when i was a a girl who wanted to rock. the go-go's came along and told me i could do it too, so there's that..but ..oh well. now it's me..i'm the one putting guitars in the hands of little girls, telling them they can rock and to stay far away from anybody who tries to diminish their skills and power.
A few years ago, I saw the Beat Club videos. Immediately, I was a fan.
My favorite is Nickey, 'cause I'm a pianist, but I appreciate all of their talents.
Thanks, Caleb! Nickey was a MONSTER talent! ~ Alice
@@alicedebuhr6457 Will Nickey be involved in this get-together, or is she still as reclusive as Bobbie Gentry?
@@marthajbaldwin5897 Embarrassed? Why would she be 'embarrassed?
@@gary1961 Nickey has retired, and although she used to have really bad feelings about the dynamics in the band, she's proud of the music we created. She was SO brilliant! BTW, Martha J Baldwin has had some bone to pick with me about her perception of how I've responded to her. I've tried to clear it up, but she's not having it, and continues to throw hate at the band. Sorry you got in the middle of that. Alice
@@alicedebuhr6457
Alice De Buhr herself!
A friend of mine just sent me a link on You Tube for this band ... I had never heard of them... I'm 51 now. We were talking about how we used to make mix tapes for friends. HOLY CRAP !!!! They were amazing !!!!!!!!! I can't wait to listen to more. I'm addicted.
Hi! So glad you stumbled into us!! xx
As someone who has turned their back on new music(for the most part,anyways),I have been looking backwards into the past,to find the bands that ROCK,that I've never heard before.It ALWAYS feels like I struck gold when I discover bands like FANNY!!!!!!!!!!!These ladies were MONSTERS on their instruments,especially Alice on the drums!!!!!!I watch their live performances & my jaw proceeds to hit the floor........EVERY TIME!!!!!!!THANK YOU FANNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aw, thank you, Garrett! Cheers! Alice
It took these many years and the mighty random algorythm of youtube to bring your band into my suggested videos. That's a shame. I hope it's still not too late! Glad to see you are doing fine. Stay safe and rock on, I bet success is always on the way for you. Cheers!
OMG.... SO SO SO SO HAPPY TO SEE AND HEAR THIS!!!!!!
Bowie would be pleased!
I was living on Guam when Fanny broke out. Of course we knew of them and knew where the PI was. We loved them.
..this looks like a Great documentary...she sure can play that guitar!
No gimmicks or trickery, just straight up rock n roll.
Nice to see them getting some recognition. Birtha should be next!
Such a great band and story. Only in America, right? Can't wait to see this with my daughter. I showed her the Blind Alley video some time ago. She plays drums, so yeah.
That's damn right they're the Queens of Rock!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I shared Blind Alley (Beat Club performance) on Facebook and a friend, in his 70s with extensive musical knowledge and collection commented “not bad!”. He had never heard of Fanny. Things like this and Death being buried by the record establishment until unlocked again decades later makes my blood boil. Anyway, at least the core 4 are still around to see the resurgence.
So good to see that this brilliant band are finally getting some of the recognition they deserve.
Im 32, and I really wish I was born in a different era... these gals kick ass.. STILL!
Fuck yeah, rock's most underrated band is finally getting the attention is deserves!
Thanks, Tris Mamone! ~ Alice
Thank you, Tris! ~ Alice
Love the band, so looking forward to watching the documentary!!! ☮️❤️😎🤘
I am 66 yrs old and I have never heard of these ladies before. WTF WHERE HAVE I BEEN!
I researched them after donating to Jean's go fund me. I could not believe how many great songs they had that I never heard. Something must have been wrong with the music business to not give them their props. I hope this film makes them get recognized.
This looks like an amazing film, can’t wait to see it.
I adored the Fanny albums, and have all of them on vinyl. I never got a chance to see them live, which I regret, because all accounts said they put on a great show. I never understood why they didn't break through and become superstars,, but tip my hat in respect to Reprise for keeping them on the label and releasing their LPs. Things were different then, and labels believed in developing artists. Now, if your first release doesn't climb the Billboard charts like a rocket, you're gone. (And if it _does_ chart, whether it's any _good_ is a happy side effect. Crap sells, and that we get good music at all is a minor miracle.
Well, Reprise signed us to a 4 LP deal, and they'd have had to cough up quite a bit of $$ if they'd broken the contract. They did, in fact, believe in our talent. They just weren't to sure how to promote us! ~ Alice
@@alicedebuhr6457 Thanks, Alice. Nice to hear back from one of the band. A lot of bands were in the same position. Talent out the wazoo, but how did you _market_ them? The traditional approach was to try to get a hit single that would go into heavy rotation on the Top 40 AM stations. There _were_ occasional successes, like Cream's _Sunshine of Your Love_ , but you had to have a song you could _fit_ into a 2-3 minute 45rpm single format, and even if you did, it was still a crap shoot as to whether it would chart. Too many wonderful bands did work that _couldn't_ be cut and shoehorned to single length. I started paying attention to pop during the period when the market was changing, and the product wasn't the hit single by a pop singer, it was the _band_ , writing and playing their own music. It was also the days of FM "Underground" radio, because FM could be broadcast in _stereo_ . The AM stations all got FM bands as part of their license, but hadn't had a use for them. Now they did, and they were all making it up as they went along trying to figure out how to use the new medium. Like I said, props to Reprise for believing in your talent, and releasing 4 of your albums. Yes, it would have cost them bucks to drop you, but they signed you in the first place _because_ they believed in you, and kept releasing you because they believed in you. The belief by a label in the artists it signs is what I miss.

Ooh! How cool is that then:) Music has no borders... Great to see them back:))))
A glorious band from a glorious time.
I had the pleasure of seeing these talented girls live at the Eastown Theater in Detroit opening up for The Stooges. They tore up the place. Along with the Quatro sisters, they were true pioneers of female rock.
You were very fortunate to see that show. It must have been awesome!

Thanks, tp10488! Appreciate it! ~ Alice
@@alicedebuhr6457 alice i just have seen your BBC Music video what a wonderful musicians bonded together. It skipped my radar 😃.
That would have been an epic lineup. You are very lucky.
Wow. A band from my youth and still playing. Brilliant.
Awesome!!🥰🥰 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...next please!!!
Can't wait to watch this! Rock on ladies!
Can't wait to see this.
DUDE!! THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!! IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!
IMAGINE if this band came out today? Just like this. No changes. Greta Van Fleet would be opening for them.
Fuck yeah! Glad you ladies are getting your due respect. First time I heard you all do Ain't That Peculiar, beyond mesmerized and mystified by your talents and cohesion as a band. Keep rockin'!
Thank you, Lyle! ~ Alice
Well, 50 years on guys like me are sitting behind my computer watching Fanny kick ass in old clips.
And you got the recognition from all these great artists.
You guys deserve to be in the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame.
They way Fanny did Hey Bulldog? Shite, that was good. I'm a huge fan of The Beatles, but I'm not sure which version I like best.
Makes me sad to think about how much talent we never saw just because girls weren't supposed to.
Loved this band so much. Always had such a crush on Alice.
Really? That's cool, Michael! ~ Alice
@@alicedebuhr6457 Took a lot of years, but at 65, I'm now blushing. See what you've done to me? And you've still got it.
Ain't gonna lie guys, I love fanny.
Thanks, Chris! ~ Alice
Wooo! I ran into the band's video footage early this year while surfing youtube. I was blown away, what a great discovery! I hope the band will get more recognition for their pioneering work and for paving the way, influencing so many other musicians. Can't wait to see the doc!
Saw them at Bradford Uni Yorkshire when they just released Charity Ball, marvellous
Thank you, Richard! ~ Alice
@@alicedebuhr6457 Thank you for the message Alice - we are all getting to be old buggers now but I will never forget that Saturday night in Bradford here in the UK, first thing Monday morning I went straight to the record shop and ordered a copy of the album, terrific days, I got married in '75 had 2 wonderful girls but unfortunately lost my wife 6 years ago, reading this Fanny post brought back all the good times and a tear to my eye - thanks for the memories.Richard.
I love this band so check out 'Los Bitchos' in the UK - They remind me of Fanny. I hope the Fanny pianist/keyboardist is involved too, as they were so cool together.
Thought they were great right from “Ain’t that peculiar “, should have been more famous!
saw em live 3 times between 1973-1975 .LOVED me some Fanny
Thank you, Gordon! ~ Alice
Finally!! Thank God!! They trully deserve it..!!! Fifty years in the making,but at last they are getting the recognition they trully deserve...here's one proud Filipino!!! Mabuhay kayo mg Kababayan ko!!!
