Musical Mutiny - Fantasy excerpts

From "Musical Mutiny", here are the excerpts of the band "Fantasy" with Lydia Jamene Miller. If you were in South Florida around 1970, Fantasy was a real great band. They had a hit with an instrumental "Stoned Cowboy" but live the attraction was Lydia Jamene Miller. They were great live and I like Jim Demaeo's guitar playing a lot also. This is not representative of their best, but it's the only video I've seen of them. There only album, which is real good, is available on CD now.

I just heard that Jamene Miller, the singer in this video died this September past. A shame.

boy, the memories.My sis dated DJ Cory James from WSHE early 70's. Billy Robins lived down the street from me in Coral Gables , met him at his house one time , sorry to see he committed suicide ???? Is that true, when ????

[FeitenFan]

My understanding it was around 1969 or so in the Everglades. His death is what promted them to end up with Jamene. A great live band. They were alway good at the Jai Ali Fronton

actually jamene is a good friend of mine and we kick til this day...maybe one day theres a comeback??

[FeitenFan]

Comeback would be nice. I have some studio stuff she did later and it is pretty good. According to what I read on the "Lime Stone Lounge" site she is in Nashville now?

@brobbinsrocker Bobby, if that is really you, I was a really good friend of your brother's and hung out at your house in N Miami quite a bit. I've got so many photos - and memories of you both. Haven't ever stopped thinking of Billy. Is this really true about the drug dealer? Gosh, I'd love to get back in touch with you.

THIS IS BOBBY ROBBINS THE NAME OF THE GIRL WHO REPLACED JAMENE WAS JULIE APPLEBAUM AND A DRUG DEALER NAMED CAPTAIN MARVEL KILLED MY BROTHER BILLY AND MADE IT LOOK LIKE A SUICIDE BUT THE CAPT WAS ARRESTED BY THE FBI AND HE IS STILL IN JAIL

Hi,

I went to Jr High with the Robbins twins when they lived near Biscayne Blvd/80 Street.

Always wanted to find out what happened to Billy-heard his demise was due to a bad drug deal.

Would love to know more about the beginnings of the group.

I just have the first Fantasy LP on Liberty. I think all the stuff on the first side is better than Stoned Cowboy. Worth getting if u r looking for rare garage band type rock...There are a few "mind blowing" type spots on side one. the keyboard player was really the talented one, though the others had their moments and the female vocalist can really belt em out.
