The song Tainted Love was originally recorded by Gloria Jones as a B-side to My Bad Boy‘s Coming Home, which was a commercial flop. Destined for oblivion, the song was picked up a British Club DJ, and became popular in 1970s Northern Soul venues. Jones re-recorded the song in ‘76, but to still failed to chart. Then Soft Cell turned it in to a synth pop classic.
