Первая женская группа, игравшая хард-рок, "Fanny" в первой половине 70-х добилась расположения слушателей и уважения критики, что было не так просто и для мужчин — представителей этого стиля. Основательницы этой американской команды сестры Джун и Джин Миллингтон родились в 1949 и 1950 годах соответственно, в филиппинской столице Маниле. Их отец был военный и в начале 60-х годов его подразделение было переведено в Сакраменто, где девчонки познали все прелести хипповского бытия. В 1966 году еще в школе сестренки организовали квартет "The sveltes". Пару лет спустя, сменив двух вокалисток на одну барабанщицу, ансамбль превратился в трио "Wild honey". Состав его был таков: Джун Миллингтон (лидер-гитара, вокал), Джин Миллингтон (бас, вокал) и Элис Де Бер (p. 1950, Мэйсон-Сити, США; ударные). На подержанном микроавтобусе девчата колесили по клубам западного побережья Америки, поначалу привлекая внимание публики не столько музыкой, сколько фактом своего существования как рок-группы.
Осенью 1969-го, когда они выступали в лос-анжелесских клубах, их приметил продюсер " Captain Beefheart" и Эллы Фицджеральд Ричард Перри, который помог девушкам получить контракт с "Reprise records".
Во время записи дебютного альбома к "Wild honey" присоединилась четвертая участница, клавишница Николь Барклай (p. 21 апреля 1951, Вашингтон). С ее приходом по рекомендации Перри команда сменила название на "Fanny". Кроме того Ричард оказался продюсером трех первых альбомов группы. В 1970-м вышел дебютный лонгплей "Fanny", ставший пробой сил и поиском своего стиля. Следующий альбом, "Charity Ball" оказался достаточно зрелой работой. Заглавная композиция, изданная также синглом, попала в Топ 40 "Billboard". Успех также сопровождал "Fanny" во время их британского турне вместе с " Jethro Tull" и "Humble Pie". В 1971 году группа приняла участие в записи альбома Барбары Стрейзанд, а Ники Барклай, в свою очередь, записывалась с блюзовым гитаристом Джессом Эдом Дэвисом.
Диск 1972 года "Fanny Hill", записанный в Лондоне, на принадлежавшей " Beatles" студии "Apple", стал вершиной всего творчества "Fanny".
В конце 1973-го вышел четвертый, наиболее тяжелый по звучанию альбом "Mother's Pride", тоже записанный в Лондоне, однако, на этот раз в "Olympic Studios" и с новым продюсером, Тоддом Рандгреном. Весной 1974-го в группе произошел первый конфликт, в результате чего ее покинула Джун Миллингтон. На ее месте оказалась Патти Куатро (p. октябрь 1948, Детройт; гитара, бас), сестра легендарной Сюзи Куатро. Месяц спустя за Джун последовала и Элис, которую сменила Брай Ховард. Последняя недолго продержалась в составе и место за ударными заняла Кэм Дэвис. В этом составе "Fanny" заключили новый контракт с "Casablanca records" и записали посредственный альбом "Rock And Roll Survivors". После этого группа практически развалилась. Правда весной 1975 года прощальный сингл, "Butter boy" попал на 29-ю строчку американских чартов.
Бывшие участницы коллектива занимались сольными работами и участвовали в проектах других музыкантов, но особого успеха не добились. В 1978 сестры Миллингтон объединялись для записи альбома "Ladies On The Stage", изданном на "United Artists".
