By rights, the rock band Fanny should be as well known and respected as the Rolling Stones, the Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin or other groups of that rarified level. They had the musical chops and the dynamic vocal ability to earn their place in the pantheon of rock, but in the late 1960s and 1970s when Fanny was trying to make its mark they had something going against them – their gender and sexuality.The documentary Fanny: The Right to Rock explores how the all-female band, some of whose members were lesbian, never achieved the fame they deserved or were taken seriously.
