An all-female rock band almost lost to time is experiencing a warming resurgence through the documentary film “Fanny: The Right to Rock” directed by Bobbi Jo Hart.
The film focuses on the enduring legacy of Fanny’s trailblazing career as they burst onto the Los Angeles music scene emerging from Sacramento with their groundbreaking sound and impeccable musicianship. Their raw talent heard across five critically acclaimed albums led the group to achieve Top 40 success with songs like “Charity Ball” and “Butter Boy” climbing the Billboard Hot 100 chart during the 1970s.
The four-piece band caught the attention and respect of rock legends such as David Bowie and Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott. Fanny often jammed with Bonnie Raitt and Joe Cocker at their legendary party pad, adoringly known as “Fanny Hill” in West Hollywood. In the film, singer and lead guitarist June Millington described it as a “sorority with electrical guitars.”
