The sexism never ends at NPR

Sometime background singer and sometime lead singer for other groups (she sang lead on The Crystals' "He's A Rebel") and sometimes under her own name ("Today I Met The Boy I'm Going To Marry") as well as fronting the Christmas classic "Baby Please Come Home," Darlene Love is an attempting a singing comeback.






NPR's done repeated coverage of this attempt including today offering:

As an album title, Introducing Darlene Love sounds like a throwback, in the spirit of Here's Little Richard or Meet the Beatles. In fact, it's something closer to a joke: The woman behind these songs has been making music for 50 years, and it only took a few decades for people to learn her name.


Is NPR trying to ensure that it's a male defined world?

MEET THE SUPREMES came out in 1962 as did PRESENTING DIONNE WARWICK.

1964 saw PRESENTING THE FABULOUS RONETTES FEATURING VERONICA.


1967 saw HELLO, I'M DOLLY.


Why is NPR -- alleged public radio -- treating male as the norm and the standard?


Does the sexism ever end?
