Fanny (band) Wikipedia

Fanny was an American girl band, led by June Millington. They were pioneers as one of the first rock bands to feature all women, and the third to sign to a major record label, after Goldie & the Gingerbreads and The Pleasure Seekers (Mercury Records). They reached the Top 40 three times, with "Charity Ball" in 1971, "I've Had It" in 1974, and "Butter Boy" in 1975, peaking at #40, #36, and #29 respectively in the Billboard Hot 100. Fanny was the first all-female band to release an album on a major label.^[1]MORE

June and Jean Millington are Phillipine American, BTW...

June Millington (born April 14, 1948) is a Philippine-American guitarist, who along with her sister bassist Jean Millington, drummer Alice de Buhr, and keyboardist Nickey Barclay founded Fanny, which was signed with Warner Brothers' Reprise Records in 1969 and released five albums by 1974, including Fanny, Charity Ball, Fanny Hill (produced by Richard Perry), and Mother's Pride, which was produced by Todd Rundgren. Fanny toured worldwide, gaining widespread popularity in the U.K., and charted in the U.S. with the songs "Charity Ball" and "Butter Boy". In 1971 Fanny also served as session players and did arrangements for Barbra Streisand's self-titled album. In 2002, Rhino records gave the group the box-set treatment, releasing First Time In A Long Time—The Reprise Recordings.MORE

June and Jean currently continue to record under the name Slammin Babes and June produces albums and does session work.
Other women in Slamming Babes include Marita Madeloni Vocals and Percussion and Janelle Burdell Drums and Percussion.

In addition:

In 1986, June Millington together with her long time partner, Ann Hackler, formed the Institute for the Musical Arts (IMA). The Goshen, MA-based non-profit institute's mission is to support women and girls in music and music-related businesses. IMA's programs include the Rock 'n Roll Camp for Girls, and workshops on vocal and instrumental instruction, album production and recording techniques, lyric and music composition, and booking, promotion, and entertainment law.
