Fanny - Young and Dumb (1971) / LIVE

----------------------------------------------------
In this big old world
And all of this people all around me
And I've got no ballin' love

Cause I've got too much time on my hands
I've gotta find me a super man
And when I'll get him in my bed all alone
He'll never wanna go back home
Cause I'm a hot lovin', good lovin', sweet lovin' woman and I know how to love
Oh yeah
Oh yes I know how to love baby yes I know how to love

Young, dumb, pull up, come on to me
Young, dumb, pull up, come on to me
Young, dumb, pull up, come on to me

Lord
I want you to help me now
The woman I am
Might not be qualified
But all I want
Is somebody to keep me satisfied

Cause I've got too much time on my hands
I've gotta find me a super man
And when I'll get him in my bed all alone
He'll never wanna go back home
Cause I'm a hot lovin', good lovin', sweet lovin' woman and I know how to love
Oh I know how to love baby
Give it to me now, yeah
Cause I'll know how to love you

Young, dumb, pull up, come on to me
Young, dumb, pull up, come on to me
Young, dumb, pull up, come on to me

Fanny was an American all-female band, active in the early 1970s. They were one of the first notable rock groups to be made up entirely of women, the third to sign with a major label (after Goldie & the Gingerbreads and the Pleasure Seekers), and the first to release an album on a major label (in 1970). They achieved two top 40 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and released five albums.

Sisters June Millington (born April 14, 1948, Manila, Philippines) and Jean Millington (born May 25, 1949, Manila, Philippines) moved with their family from the Philippines to Sacramento, California in 1961. In high school they formed an all-girl band called the Svelts with June on guitar, Jean on bass, Addie Lee on guitar, and Brie Brandt on drums. Brandt was later replaced by Alice de Buhr (born September 4, 1949, Mason City, Iowa). When the Svelts disbanded, de Buhr and Lee formed another all-female group called Wild Honey. The Millington sisters later joined this band, which played Motown covers and eventually moved to Los Angeles.

In January 1970, Nickey Barcley was asked to join Fanny as a singer and keyboardist. She was one of the main songwriters and lead singers in the group, and appeared on all their albums, adding soul, blues and funk influences to the group's overall sound.

If anyone is interested or hasn't swen it, thier documentary is called "The Right To Rock"
It came out in 2021, I believe.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one. How is it possible that one of the greatest rock bands of all time has lived in obscurity for the last 50 years? Alice is smashing holes in the sky with them drums!!!

To all those who have recently discovered Fanny...i feel your pain at being denied this awesome music for so many years.

[factsonly]

I want to personally thank whoever recorded all of these Fanny performances so they can live online forever. One of the few great things about the internet 😂

[martinschiller]

WTF??? I‘m a 55-year old music lover and musician and finally today I discovered this awesome band, I‘ve never heard before… shame on me…

[mikedehn]

I accidentally went down a rabbit hole with this band.

Why didn't they make it big is beyond me.

I sent a couple of videos to my wife with these ladies.

My wife isn't into rock bands but really likes them.

People should know how good Fanny is.

If Fanny were out today, they would be playing to huge audiences in stadiums and arenas world wide.

In 1999 David Bowie told Rolling Stone ... "They (Fanny) were one of the best fucking rock bands..." of course he was right!

[ice_fox]

My mom (who later became lead singer in a well known Northeastern band called Sage) always used to tell me the story of how she stole my Grandfather's car at age 16 to see Fanny play live. She got belted when she returned (this was the old days) and when I asked her if it was worth it, she always said, "Hearing them live was worth a firing squad!"

Im a 63 year old rock lover. I would have bought their albums if I'd have known that they even existed. A tragic loss to music lovers! Thanks to YT for opening so many eyes to the awesomeness of Fanny!

[timmccoy]

Hammond with a fuckin' Leslie! don't get any better than that!

[prinkulwatno]

I just discovered this group like 10 minutes ago and I’m amazed that I’ve never heard of them before. They’re incredible!

[TorstenStett]

These live Beat Club sessions were 1000 times better than their studio recorded stuff. That's actually a testament to how great they were.

[MrCSRocker]

History needs to be re-written. This band must be slotted into their rightful place amongst all rock 'n' roll bands.

[BrendanGM]

Man it is criminal that this band didn't get what they deserved. Nearly as heartbreaking as what happened to Badfinger.

[MrSubmarine]

Spread the word: Fanny - “Live At Beat Club ‘71-‘72” released on CD June 7th, 2024! ❤️

[TheBomber]

Dear God! What a fantastic performance! Everything is absolutely on point. Funky as hell bass, epic drumming, hard rock guitar, soulful organ and amazing vocals. This seriously rocks

[elvispresley]

I am a 61 yr old man and I have every one of their albums from back in the day. These girls led the way.

[MrKatho]

Im 70 years old and just discovered Fanny....OMG! how did I miss this band for all those years...that bassist gives me goosebumps

[straceshow]

This band had everything! How could they be virtually unknown? Astounding!
