Great documentary on one of the first all-women bands in which every member was considered first rate talent, but did not receive the recognition at the time. They’ve reunited in their 70s and there’s a push to include them in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Here they did a great cover of the Beatles song.

Jon,
I’m all for reparations for those who are descendants of slaves.
bolithio,
You found an article trite and so dismissed a person as an AI. OK.

Yep, saw this video decades ago, and agree EK, good cover… but no need to make an all-female division, now is there… music is all encompassing, no leagues necessary, no divisions desired… band members can identify however they desire…
Marilyn Manson, Kiss, Motley Crew, Queen, Stryper, Ratt, etc… but let’s admit, USA musicians started looking draggish not that long back… so, in essence, something to consider… if these 4 gals dressed more obnoxiously at the time, say like the HEART singer or Joan Jett, would they already be in the RRHOF… or is music still devoid of politics…lol… not a slight on female musicians, just a reality that rock and roll is still better with a band of men jamming or a mixed gender band like Fleetwood Mac or Heart… the all women bands mostly are softer bands, so clearly higher #’s of female rock musicians is needed to justify the female nominations… but was Fanny a rock and roll band, because the Beatles were pop rock 🎸 mixed with some blues and other cultural influences…
Rock and roll… classic original rock and roll is upbeat to medium fast… so, identifying real rock and roll hall of famers is a headscratcher imho… 1 person says Fanny is this, while another says not really…
