'not getting deserved praise' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'a french paper good' is the wordplay.
'a french' becomes 'un' ('a' in French).
'paper' becomes 'sun' (The Sun, UK newspaper).
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'un'+'sun'+'g'='UNSUNG'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for unsung that I've seen before include "Not celebrated or praised" , "Lacking due recognition" , "Not given due recognition" , "Not honoured" , "Without 1D [RECOGNITION]" .)
