Podcast: Professor of RockPublished On: Sat Feb 14 2026
Description: It's a music marathon. We’re shining a light on some of the most underrated songs from female artists… It’s the latest edition of Female Hidden Gems. But behind these beautiful melodies lie some of the wildest and most twisted stories in rock. Seriously. We've got the haunting duet where the female vocalist Hope Sandoval sang a love song with one brother while secretly dating the other. Then there's the soulful singer Duffy whose breakout hit Mercy became eerily prophetic after she was kidnapped and held captive years later. The tragic incident turned the song on its head, but ultimately it became an anthem of empowerment. And we'll also reveal how one of the biggest girl groups of the 80s The Go-Gos recorded their final hit Head Over Heels in a studio combat zone. That story involves physical altercations, thrown bottles, substance abuse and sabotaged instruments. All while the song's lyrics literally documented the band's collapse in real time. Plus Stevie Nicks who canceled her wedding night and honeymoon to record her song Stand Back where she basically ripped off Prince’s new song by basically putting new lyrics over his music… It became a smash… We’ll see what his reaction was on it. Let’s get started.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
