Top 8 Female Hidden Gems: Shakespears Sister, Joan Jett, Michelle Branch & More

Coming up, we're counting down 8 great female hidden gems… songs by some of the industry’s best that too often get overlooked. And on this episode, we’ve got the story of upstart singer Marcella Detroit, who stole the mic and the spotlight on Shakespears Sister's biggest single Stay. And the principal singer Siobhan Fahey got so jealous, she fired her through an award ceremony acceptance speech… and she wasn’t even there to give it! She had her publicist do it! Then there’s the badass track that one of music’s greatest rockers Joan Jett covered back in the 80s, but decades later, the song’s original writer was convicted for some truly awful crimes so bad it’s made this song disgusting in hindsight.… Would she still sing it? Plus, there’s the 18-year-old guest vocalist Michelle Branch who sang on the Game of Love, a track by one of the most iconic guitarists of the rock era, a Woodstock legend. But she was hired only after the “Queen of Rock n Roll” after she bowed out. Could she even do the song justice? Find out next as we dive into our latest Female Hidden Gems countdown.
