“Tainted Love” by Soft Cell (1982)
While Soft Cell may not have written “Tainted Love,” they certainly made it into a massive hit. Singer Gloria Jone first recorded the song in 1964, it was not until 1982 that the song reached number one. The synths and hooks in Soft Cell’s version of “Tainted Love” are so catchy, there was no question it would become a huge hit. Of course, afterward, everyone wanted to hear what Soft Cell would do next…
Sadly, Soft Cell could never quite recapture the fire of “Tainted Love,” the duo have continued performing through the year. Most recently, they reunited in 2018 and are currently planning a tour of the United States!
