I remember them . This is one of the acts Neil Bogart took on for his new Casablanca label. They helped pay the rent with a mild hit called BUTTER BOY.

RIGHT HERE!!! Lol - a long-time Fanny-fan here, from the 'Charity Ball' days and I've got the lps to prove it. Those Millington ladies along with Alice Debur & Nickey Hartley rocked like a mofo -

Well I am really not sure what to think about this, I quite like it, but then I don't, I think it's the chorus that throws me. Interesting cover and interesting band!!
I liked it except for the tempo changes.
Thanks, Boogiedown! This is great! I guess I really was riding a one-track mind back then with my Motown preoccupation. But I'm glad to get to know Fanny's music now!Quote:

It surprised me because this is exactly the kind of thing that would normally turn me right off to a cover, but somehow I really like what they've done.Quote:
