Talk about a tainted love
DJ Pup DaddyHOST
Tainted Love, written by Ed Cobb of the pop group The Four Preps and recorded by Gloria Jones in 1965 on Champion Records, and later a number eight hit for Soft Cell in 1982.
DJ Pup DaddyHOST
However, it wasn't the original that influenced them.
Chris GoldenHOST
Mark Owen and David Ball, they are Soft Cell with their reworking of a Northern Soul classic, that's Tainted Love, a number one from 1981.
Chris GoldenHOST
The Northern Soul classic original was done by Gloria Jones back in 1965, and if we all remember, which we- I'm sure we do, Gloria Jones was driving the mini car in which her boyfriend, Mark Bolan, was sadly killed.
Chris GoldenHOST
Uh, I think she came off with quite a few serious injuries, too.
Chris GoldenHOST
So, uh, that's pretty sad.
P.P. ArnoldGUEST
That first s- the first song that I ever recorded was What You Gonna Do with the Ike and Tina Turner Revue as an Ikette, and that's now just been recently, um, uh, it's out on Charlie, been released on Charlie Records as, as a vinyl single, along with Everything's Gonna Be Alright.
P.P. ArnoldGUEST
I just headlined the Blackpool Soul Festival and did a whole northern soul show where I paid tribute to Tina and Gloria Jones and Etta James and myself and Jimmy Thomas, and you know.
P.P. ArnoldGUEST
So like there's that aspect of me.
P.P. ArnoldGUEST
You know, the northern soul.
Laura TenchertHOST

Laura TenchertHOST
as well as Gloria Jones, who did the original version of Tainted Love.
Laura TenchertHOST
But maybe in the context of Bob Ziddon history, most importantly, it features Clyde King, who
Rebecca SleimanHOST
later
Tony ValentinoGUEST
Because he gave Tainted Love to
ManfredHOST
Gloria Jones.
ManfredHOST

Tony ValentinoGUEST
As a matter of fact, I was listening to Gloria Jones.
