Thanks for doing this Video man. Jean is my Mom, and she deserves all of this praise and more. Really appreciate you spreading the word, I’m going to send her this video!!

[DanielPagdon]

Jean and June are rock and roll pioneers, incandescent with talent, yet friendly, down to Earth people.Thank you, Danny, for giving them their due.

Danny and Fanny, two of my favs together.

[mackb]

Fanny! The guitarist and bassist were Filipina sisters whose family immigrated to the U.S. They were incredible!

[nobrightonian]

I saw Fanny headline at Sussex University with two other bands in the early 70's they were fantastic! Can't remember the name of the second band on the bill but the opening act was Leo Sayer in his blues band before he became famous and he was outstandingly good!

[mcswordfish]

Fanny are fucking brilliant. They've become one of my favourite bands since seeing a preview of the BBC film about them.

And I urge everyone with access to iPlayer to watch the film

[JMGilberto]

Thank you for acknowledging this great band, Danny.

[GeeBee]

Fanny's live version of the Beatles' Hey Bulldog rocks! They even added a whole new verse of their own.

You nailed it, that beat club footage is the shit! (And jean has been my time warp crush every since I saw that cover of Marvin Gaye!)
Thanks for giving these First Ladies of rock and roll their props ( check out who they toured with…June credits Lowell George with teaching her slide)

I've been a fan of Fanny since 1978 when my father introduced me to them. I was 8, and I've liked them ever since. Nice to see someone notice them. There's a documentary on the band. You can find it on YouTube.

I found out about Fanny about a year ago, thanks to a documentary on PBS. I was blown away by the musicianship of all four of them, but I was especially impressed by Jean and Alice de Buhr, their drummer. I was also really annoyed that I didn't know about them when I was growing up. They were pretty successful in their day and it's a crime that their music was forgotten for so long. But I'm glad they're starting to get some recognition again.

Nicky Barclay (Piano/Organ) is a fantastic musician and went on to work with Joe Cocker and Barbara Streisand.

[dannycruz]

Really cool to see Fanny get mentioned! The studio stuff is great but the beat-club footage is just next level.

[AugustThor]

Their cover of Hey Bulldog is legendary

[Warjacki]

My favorite song by Fanny is "Blind Alley", sung mainly by keyboard player Nickey Barclay. I've run across both the studio version and a Beat Club live version here on YouTube. David Bowie was a big fan of theirs.

[shiftybat]

Good on her for hitting the stage after something serious as a paralytic stroke. That takes GOOTS. But that band's synergy just can't be achieved without everyone present, like Hanson or the Bee-Gees.

[davestr]

Saw Fanny backing up Jethro Tull at the Oxford Theater 1975.

[asharpbflat]

I love your channel so much! Also love that bands like Fanny are being rediscovered and getting new fans over the past years ❤

[wardrich]

Fanny are so underrated. Alice de Buhr is on YouTube and replied to my comment on one of the Fanny vids a few years back. That was pretty rad.

[SorryIwasntListening]

Oh yeah!! Discovered Fanny a few months ago, and my God they were good!! The version of Badge they did was fantastic.
