This is a video continuation of the Bilal and Miguel Atwood-Ferguson Bomb Shelter saga entitled, "Tainted Love."
Known by many as Synthpop duo Soft Cell's big hit in 1981, "Tainted Love" was originally composed by Ed Cobb, formerly of The Four Preps and originally recorded by Gloria Jones in 1964 as the B-side to "My Bad Boy's Coming Home". The original version was by no means a commercial success. In fact, it was a flop. However, in 1973, while British club DJ Richard Searling was on a trip to the U.S., he purchased a copy and found the Motown-influenced sound was a perfect match for the music movement with was growing in the UK club scene referred to as "Northern Soul. Searling took the song and popularized it.
With new found popularity, Gloria Jones tried again, re-recording "Tainted Love" in 1976. But this again failed to chart.
Several years later, Soft Cell, the vocal-synth pop duo that took the popular track and released a slower, synth and rhythm heavy version in 1981. It reached #1 on 18 different charts.
So now, we're back to the beginning. Bilal, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Daedelus, and more, in the studio jamming away to Gloria Jones' original version of that great 1964 song.
It's just pure energy. The musicians, the movements, the sounds..
No overdubs, no retouches, just 100% LIVE.
Enjoy.

This never gets old for me....👏
Bilal is such a creative, underrated musical genius in my opinion!!! I've been to 3 of his live performances and he is amazing!!!! I will go every chance I get to see him perform live!!! Im so mad I lost my pictures that we took together but I still have my signed autographed cd!!!!
This cover is amazing! They're like mad scientists
Still mind blown by this in 2023...
Why is he so gooooodddd!?
Why is the band soooo dope!?!
Live music,I love to see musicians doing their thing. I grew up in the 70s when everybody had or was part of a band. I miss live music...
Yeah things are starting to turn around for the better. The younger generations souls are hungry for something spiritually tangible. They're reaching to be quenched.
That beat that drops at 1:04 is so nasty
got me on that stank face xD!!!!!!!!!!
Dope!!!! Bilal is sooooooo INCREDIBLE!!!! One of my all time favorites!!!!
yo this is like an orchestrated chaos!!!! pretty dope lol
The most beautiful version of Soft Cell's "Tainted Love" I've ever heard!! LUV THIS!!!!! I remember the original quite well; takes me back to grade/high school dances....**sigh** :-D
Soft Cell isn't the original! Gloria Jones recorded it more than a decade earlier. Soft Cell is merely the most famous version
I would vote this single performance "best cover of any song ever".
This is a modern music marvel folks. Soak it in.
BRRUHHHHH this is MADDNESS!! i can't get enough....!!!!!
my favorite version of this song
Love this version!
Bilal can do absolutely no wrong.
***** The man is a genius. He seriously gets me through some of my toughest times.
Bilal is out of this galaxy.That drummer! I love a subtle drum,but that is what my ear picks up first.
I love this side of Bilal...alot of his R&B stuff is more subdued and a killer falsetto. I cannot sit still listening to this song. My favorite version.
LOVE LOVE LOVE how he remixed the original medley. 💘one of my 80's favs
You gotta be effing kidding me this is absolutely amazing 🤯🤯🤯
The spirit of dilla is all through this lowkey 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of the best covers I've ever seen him do... For him to cover this song like he did is just so dope!!!
This is what today's music should really sound like. Amazing cover..Miss Gloria Jones!
That drop was so HARD 🔥
He puts his soul into every note he sings and that's on anything he sings. genius!
