----------------------------------------------------
You do me wrong but still
I'm crazy about you
Stay away too long
And I can't do without you

Every chance you get
You seem to hurt me
More and more
But each hurt makes my love
Much stronger than before

I know that flowers
Grow with the rain
But how can love
Grow with the pain

Ain't that peculiar
Ain't that peculiar

You tell me lies that
Should be obvious to me
But I'm so much
In love with you, baby
That I don't want to see

That the things you do and say
Are designed to make me blue
Now, it's a doggone shame
My love for you makes
All your lies seem true

Now, if the truth
Makes love last longer
Why do lies make
My love stronger

Ain't that peculiar
Ain't that peculiar

You do me wrong but still
I'm crazy about you
Stay away too long
And I can't do without you

Every chance you get
You seem to hurt me
More and more
But each hurt makes my love
Much stronger than before

I know that flowers
Grow with the rain
But how can love
Grow with the pain

Ain't that peculiar
Ain't that peculiar
Ain't that peculiar
Ain't that peculiar
Ain't that peculiar
Ain't that peculiar

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.

"One of the most important bands in American rock has been buried without a David Bowie.
Damn right 🧡

This set of performances is one of the most important in the history of rock music, period. That means American music, period. We're so lucky Beat Club captured this and released it into the wild for us to see, and that Fanny hasn't been forgotten. This basically rewrites an entire set of chapters of rock history.

June, Jean, Alice and Nickey deserve way more credit than was offered at the time. I’m so glad these videos exist. They certainly prove what we fans know - this foursome was a force of nature.

Their live performances are so much more energetic and powerful than the studio recordings. One of the reasons I like this band so much. In the studio the producers seemed to tone them down just a bit. I hope that wasn't just another facet of chauvinism. Here the slide guitar sound is SO FULL it's like what George Thorogood must have listened to (besides all the old-time bluesmen).

They were so under everyone's radar, what a shame they never got the recognition they deserved. They should be in the rock n roll Hall of Fame for their musical talent and for being pioneers, opening the door for all that came after. There should be a petition for them to be inducted. Put it in front of me and I will sign it.

Such great musicianship, so much energy and so tight. I can't think of any other band of this era who were better live.
