Fanny (band)

Fanny (band)

Fanny were a late 1960s, early 1970s American all-women band led by June Millington. They were pioneers as one of the first rock bands to feature all women, and the second to sign to a major record label, behind Goldie & the Gingerbreads. They hit the top 40 twice, with "Charity Ball" in 1971 and "Butter Boy" in 1975, peaking at #40 and #29, respectively.

A reunion show with the Millington sisters and de Buhr was held at Berklee Music Center on April 20 2007, where the band members received the Rockgrl Women Of Valor award for their achievements.
