On the subject of source material, here’s a classic written by Ed Cobb and originally recorded by Gloria Jones in 1964. 40 years later, artists are still doing covers of Tainted Love. Gloria Jones wasn’t part of the initial Motown movement, but she later collaborated with some Motown artists.
Soft Cell’s version became a big hit in 1981 and is a classic in its own right, but I have to give some respect to the original, which I have to admit, I hadn’t heard until three years ago.
Here’s another non-video video from YouTube. I had a little trouble embedding an audio-only link.
