Fanny: 'Badge' from their 1970 debut album

[@JuneEsWorld]

Hi all! I wanted to make sure you knew that Jean (my sister, bassist) had a stroke and need our help. Here is her recovery page:@t As you know, she's one of the best bass players ever (watch this tape again, and all the rest!); not only do we want her to recover, we want her to get back on that bass! It's hard work, but she is applying herself with the same intensity she used to learn how to play in the first place: that is, 1,000%. Thanks, and if you do donate, please include a note! That helps, too:)) And Merry Christmas ... xx June

[@markgillespie4630]

Hi June, I hope your sister is well on the road to recovery and back playing the bass. I've just discovered your band and am blown away by how good you guys are. All the best, Mark.

[@rathert3]

I was fortunate to see them in the early 1970s. June and Jean Millington, Nickey Barclay and Alice de Buhr, four women who could rock with any male group of the day. Check out their 4 albums on Reprise Records 1970-1973, not a weak track on any of them.

How did this band pass almost unnoticed? Serous musicians. Not just a "girl group". You get a band of women that play better than most of the boys and they get ignored.

Really!...Just the fact that they are so tight instrumentally and vocally should have gotten them much more recognition than they got. Saw them open for The James Gang in 1971 and it should have been the other way around.

[@realmofthesenses]

They were famous in early 1970s in USA, UK, Europe too. Fanny, and a little bit later Birtha, all female bands. It was tough for women in rock, as Linda Ronstadt has stated in many interviews. And... they wrote songs, had many original songs. Linda Ronstadt was the Beyonce of the seventies, she did nothing but coversongs. Emmylou Harris and the hot band, did covers too. All female bands seemed to be more of an issue than all male bands, and female leadsinger with male musicians. Fanny was way ahead of her time.

[@mightymikethebear]

Sadly, there was a very strong Boys Club back then. This band was very good. They should have been better known.

I was in bands during the late 60's and 70's and incredibly, never heard of this group until just a few years ago. There are several videos of them on KZbin playing live and they really kicked ass, big time. Each was an excellent musician, great on their instruments and they all sang quite well. I can't think of a band today this loaded with talent!

[@jhandle4196]

That's because they never really had an original song that was a hit, but they always rocked.

[@ralorpa]

@@jhandle4196 You are probably right, but whats a "hit"? Being a hit song is about who's making the profit, not about talent. Thats why lots of the songs/music pumped around on radio stations or TV-shows, actually are shit, but someone makes the profit by owning rights...

Goddam it! Can´t get enough of this version of Badge from the last Cream album from 1969. Fanny deliver their version of the song as a musical hit❤. Every musician in Fanny makes this version a highlight. The arrangement is even better than Cream . The copy of George Harrison´s guitar part is even better, and played several times. That gives the song an amazing drive. Uplifting. A great surprise, when you never heard this group before. Thank you so much to Nickey, June, Jean and Alice. Hope you are alive and well. Does anyone agree?

[@fibboobbif]

@@firmager1: Right, but totally different music and show... same with that Goldie quattro girls... Where Suzi came from. That was more of a show band. Fanny were the first all female real rock band, and with tight professional level and skill. And they didnt use external musicians for the recordings... they even worked for other artists like Barbra Streisand.

[@firmager1]

@@fibboobbif Pleasure Seekers wrote and recorded their own songs on a major label.. and those songs were Garage rock (What a way to die a prime example) Pleasure seekers then morphed into ''Çradle'' circa 1969... all female, sharing the stage with MC5 & Mountain etc.. still before Fanny.

[@fennis26]

I was in middle school in 1970-71, Fanny’s “Charity Ball” was on the radio a lot and on the jukeboxes too. Someone told me they were an “all chick” band. I had started a garage band so their musicianship impressed me tremendously. The harmonies are glorious!

[@joekrozel6137]

Wow! Just WOW! This is the cleverest rhythmic upgrade of any song I have heard! These outrageously talented musicians take a great song and transform it into ... THEIR OWN great song! It is SO refreshing to get a lively rhythm, solidly layered instrumentation, uncowering guitar solos, harmonizing vocals ... in a REMAKE of all things! Over the decades, there are only about two dozen songs that have captured my imagination enough to replay 40 times in a row, and I just added this one to that list. BRAVO! Wish I had heard this song decades ago: I could've pulled it out to play during dark times.

[@gwestfall]

So amazing. Can't get enough of this. The singing. The incredible drummer. The bass, the lead guitar, killer keyboards. Mind boggling great music. To have been part of something this great, no matter how brief, is a well lived life. God bless these ladies. Such great examples for my daughters and grand daughters and in fact for me and my sons and grandsons. Try something great is what Fanny inspires me to do.

[@applescruff909]

The cover has a different flavor than the original, so it's impossible to pass judgement on which is "better". We all have our preferences. To me, the ending of the Fanny version is so much more satisfying than the abrupt ending in the Cream version, and I like the slightly faster tempo from Fanny. It sounds like they're having a blast playing it. Alice's drums are outstanding. Hell, *everyone* shines here. The bass intro from the original is absolutely iconic, but I love the slightly Sgt. Pepper-y intro to this version. Fanny does justice to the bridge, which is the highlight of the Cream version. So energetic! It's a damned fine cover from an unbelievably talented band.

[@lclfav2]

It definitely has a different energy. Their performance serves the music.

[@NH2112]

The piano intro reminds me of “Lady” by LRB.

[@SuperAlanfree]

I had run into Daniel Rey going down the back stairs post-show & struck up a conversation. He invited me onto the bus for a beer, which I took him up on. We finished our bottles over music talk (I sing, & used to play rhythm guitar), and he gave me a cassette tape of the band's debut? release when my bassist & gal came looking for me, knocking on the bus door under the guise of giving me a ride home. Ginger was sitting up front by the door & on my way out I respectfully nodded to him & he nodded back, shaking my hand. For some reason, still not sure why, I busted out w/the Hee-Haw song, "Where, oh where are you tonight?" and Ginger joined in, other bandmates backing us as we crooned, "Why did you leave me here all alone? I searched the world over and thought I'd found true love. You met another and" we all unified in a big, spitty, "pffftt" raspberry w/Ginger & I face to face as I passed by him & headed down the bus stairs, singing, "you was gone." We all waved goodbye like old friends, tho I'd never met any of them 'til that night. I rejoined my jealous bassist & friendgurl in the parking lot, pocketing my new cassette & what would later grow to become a timeless memory. Back then (late 80's), I obviously knew who Ginger Baker was, but was clueless as to Mr. Rey's production credits & work w/other bands, the Ramones especially, or I'd have been even more in awe of the group as a whole & much less nonchalant about the experience.
