The Greatest Female Voice of Her Time Is UNKNOWN to MOST…You'll THANK Me for THIS!-Professor of Rock

I really enjoyed this one. Today we're counting down 9 of the greatest female hidden gems in rock history. Songs that seriously deserve the spotlight... including the heartbreaking tale of Eva Cassidy, one of the greatest voices of her generation who was virtually unknown while she was alive. She died at just 33 years old—with only a handful of songs recorded that were paid for by her aunt. The labels flat our rejected her because they didn’t know how to market her multifaceted style, but her posthumously released recordings have since sold over 12 million copies including a song that she covered that has somehow surpassed the Legendary original! We also have the incredible story of Nicolette Larson, a backup singer who found her career-launching Top 10 hit "Lotta Love" on a random cassette tape lying on the floor of Neil Young's car. He didn’t want it and just handed it to her and said "it's yours.". Plus The Primitives who broke up but then a sleazy label allowed a blockbuster movie to use their hit Crash and record a bunch of new instruments into the classic track without involving the band…crazy stories. Let’s get into it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Executive Producer Brandon Fugal Honorary Producers Frank Kuna, zachery perry, Shayne Smith, Tom Stokes, Walter O.

It’s Kim Wilde with Kids in America. And this one is a blast. Written by English songwriters Ricky and Marty Wilde—Kim's brother and father—Kids in America was recorded in 1980 after RAK Records boss Mickie Most heard Kim singing background vocals on one of Ricky’s songs, possibly Tearaway. Said Ricky, "I wanted to be a singer. I went into a demo studio and recorded a couple of tracks and went into RAK Studios. And Mickie Most came out and heard it and said 'Yeah, I like it, but I want this to be recorded with a different producer.' Which I wasn't too happy about.” Ricky asked his producer if his sister Kim could take care of the backing vocals and so Kim came in and started singing. Most people think Kids in America by Kim Wilde is a one hit wonder but she had a #1 hit in 1987 with her cover of you keep me hanging on. The stories of several all time hidden gems including Ode to My Family by the Cranberries and Dolores O'Riordian who's other hits including Linger, Zombie and Dreams made them one of the biggest bands of their time. Plus Eva Cassidy Songbird and Fields of Gold, The Primitives with Crash, Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks with Gold Dust Woman, Nicolette Larson with Lotta Love, Kate Bush with Rubberand Girl, The Breeders with Cannonball and many more. I'm excited to cover Eva Cassidy who along with Ann Wilson of Heart and Karen Carpenter of the Carpenters is one of my favorite female voices ever.
