Asia & BJ! This song by Soft Cell is a cover! "Tainted Love" was originally recorded by Gloria Jones in 1964!
Gloria Jones was the girlfriend of Marc Bolan, lead singer of T Rex
Also covered well by Depeche Mode
And, Marilyn Manson.
@@gertrudelaronge6864 Gloria Jones version is so much better!
@@paulknight9998 Thanks, I'll give it a listen.
Now you gotta go for the Soft Cell Tainted Love/Where did our love go version. It's the best.
Good one, guys.
12 inch extended version is good . Soft Cell were 80s band . They had several hits in the UK. Another dance hit was called Bedsitter. They did a Ballard tribute to Billie Holiday.
"Tainted Love" was originally recorded in 1964 by Gloria Jones, but it found new life in the early 1980s after being recorded by British band .
The Gloria Jones original is fabulous!
it was. Personally I prefer the Soft Cell version. However at the end of the day Ed Cobb wrote this song, Jones and Soft Cell had nothing to do with the composition, it was his song.
I love this 80s version this was a JAM!!
Hey y’all! Y’all missed some real goodness! The entire title is “Tainted Love/where did our love go.” Everyone always cuts it at the short version- PLEASE re-do it with the (where did our love go) part- soooo good! I LOVE this song and cannot even watch when I see it uploaded cause I know the last part will be cut- for real..👍✌️❤️
100% RIGHT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agreed, the "Where did our love go" cover really takes the song to a new level.
Yes, snd as good as this is, it's a cover not the original. It was originally recorded by Gloria Jones in 1964.
Two things ; 1) this is an entirely different recording from that version,it's from 1991 for their greatest hits album,not the '81 version.
2) the version you'll talking about is the 12" version which segues into 'Where Did Our Love Go' (although there was a radio edit as well) which did not have an accompanying promo video. The original 1981 7" single version & this 1991 single version DO NOT have the segue way into 'Where Did' etc.
The long version definitely, I feel cheated when the short is played.
And if you want to go even farther back than this, the very original was *1964 by Gloria Jones* :) Love your reactions as always.
Easily the best version too, and hardly anyone knows about it.
A classic slice of the 80s right here, great choice you guys! Hearing this takes me right back to those Grade 9 school dances. Great reaction as always - peace and love from Canada!
Tushay, me also love them 80s my junior high and high school days.
Grade 7 at Hodson Junior High in Toronto for me. Real standout song for sure.
@@throwabrick Hey, fellow Torontonian here - cheers!
It's actually NOT the '80s though! This version is from 1991,a completely new recording.
Tainted Love first came out in the sixties, sung by Gloria Jones, part of the Northern Soul club scene. It was revived in the eighties by Soft Cell who added synths and it climbed to the top of the U.K. charts..by the way Marc Almond ( the one half of Soft Cell) did a powerful duet with Gene Pitney..”Somethings Got a Hold of my Heart”. Give it a listen sometime.🤩
I used to be a DJ in the 70s and 80s and the 12" version was one of the few records that gave me enough time to get to the bathroom and back in time to press the start button on the next track.... Donna Summer's I Feel Love 12" was the other one.:-)
TAINTED LOVE/Soft Cell was a big hit in 1982. Marc Almond does vocals and David Ball plays the synth.
Sad that nobody does the long version which is Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go? Where Did Our Love Go is a song by the FABULOUS Supremes.
I cant hear this song without singing "where did our love go" at the end....i agree its a much better version more fun to sing
I have the 12" vinyl. Love it.
@@NightFogFilms 12" singles..those were the days!
I never get tired of this song!😎
This song is a great example of what covers should be. Soft Cell was not copying Gloria Jones's 1964 version of the song. In their 1981 version, they brought themselves to it and created a nice update that is well played, well arranged, and well recorded. It is not my style of music, but I appreciate what they did with the song. The song was also done in 1989 by Impedance. They created their own version that was different, well done, but not my cup of tea. You reacted to the Marilyn Manson version of it a few days ago. It was recorded in 2001, and is for me the best version of the song. Manson made it completely different when he moved it into the metal genre. Hard rock and metal is what I like, so its no surprise I think his is the best. This song demonstrates how I believe covers should be handled. They are covers, not copies of the original. We don't need copies, we need a fresh interpretation of older songs. Some newer bands seem to think copying the original song note for note is the way to go. If they don't intend to modify it in any way, they shouldn't bother. If I want to hear the original, I listen to it, not a copy of it.
Deep Purple's first hit song, "Hush", is a cover of the Billy Joe Royal song from 1967, written by Joe South. The DP version is a great cover. I suggest you give it a try, if you haven't already done that one.
By the way Gloria Jones a US Soul singer made the original version in the 1970s , which was play in the UK Northern Soul scene
She first recorded it in 1964, released in 1965 and she re-recorded in 1976
I saw Soft Cell open for Billy Squier and The Who back in ‘83.
The original song was done by Gloria Jones, in 1964. She was a young black lady that was a backup singer for T-Rex, and other bands.
You should react to her doing this song, too.
She was Marc Bolans partner, though why you feel the need to mention her skin colour is beyond me.
@@normandavidtidiman9918 Stop it why ruffle feathers? Nothing wrong with saying a young black lady! Waaay too sensitive. Chill out
Thank You Rull for that information; I never knew. 😊🎸☮️💕
@@zeppelinfan9360 I’m far from sensitive at all. I’m just wondering (which you didn’t answer),why you mentioned her skin colour? You would hardly have said “young white lady” if she had been white.
I’m guessing (a bit like David Brent) you want to be seen as liking anything “black” to make you as non-racist as possible 🙄
Back in the day this song was paired with "where did our love go" in the clubs. It was big.
The song was cut short.
This song came out (at least in the US) around the same time as Human League's Don't You Want Me, so those songs are linked in my head. I don't think they had any other hits in the US, at least I never heard them. I am not surprised that they had more hits in the UK. It is kind of common for foreign bands to have one song break through, and then not have the later songs do so as well.
One of the oddest in that regard is the Dutch band Golden Earring that had a hit in the 70's another in the 80's and a smaller one in the 90's. I assume they had other hits in the Netherlands between them. But they could only break through here once a decade.
Oh guys you should have done 'say hello and wave goodbye' by soft cell.
Absolutely brilliant song and Marc's voice is much better with his range..perfect slice of our 80s Britain..🤘
Much love guys..
Prefer David grays version..but like both
My favourite Soft Cell track.
Released in *1981* and one of the first international New Wave mega-hits, along with "I Ran" by Flock of Seagulls.
And Don’t you want me by the Human League
Another fun song that is kind of similar is "Just Can't Get Enough" from Depeche Mode.
That's one of the best. Also, if you haven't heard it, Soft Cell vocalist Marc Almond has a song from the late '80's called "Tears Run Rings," which has a sound like DM or Erasure.
@@R777-RLM I love Erasure and thank you I will check that song out.
@@kathyjam2482 So do I, and you're welcome.
Thank you for doing the OG! And the video! Hugs from Canada :)
Now you have to do the ORIGINAL ORIGINAL from 1964 - with Gloria Jones
Thx for letting me and others know about the original!
Beldar Conehead is all I can think of when I hear this song.
The melody of this song is from The Supremes song, Where Did Our Love Go. You should listen to The Supremes song too, which was also a big hit. I love Dian Ross on that track. This is definitely one of the best and most popular 80s tracks. I like both versions but this one holds a special place in my ❤️.
So many 80s songs. What a time to be a young man! Best music decade by a lot.
The original is a Motown version by Gloria Jones. Northern Soul was a movement of working class Northern England that hyped up one hit wonders and b-sides of Motwon records. Soft Cell is from that part of England so they do some covers of Northern Soul as an homage.
One of the great jams of all time.
Takes me back to the bar and the jukebox playing this song. Miss those early 80's songs!
Yes, this was a 1980s pop/ new wave song that I believe made it to the Top 40. This song had a significant part in the Coneheads movie (Saturday Night Live).
Marc almond did a duet with gene Pitney, something’s gotta a hold of my heart, it’s a great combo 🏴❤️
Yes Julie a fantastic duet .. ❤
@@sallybannister6224 I’m a 80’s child but grew up listening to the 60’s , Gene Pitney was my absolute fav and I actually managed to see him perform in the Uk , it was brilliant .Sadly gene died shortly after.
Soft Cell is NOT the original.
Check out Gloria Jones' version from 1964 - a Northern Soul classic.
So what I prefer this one in it's entirety.
I said the same, comment.
@@chrisharris6206 So do I.
I just typed that comment at the point when they said that this WAS the original ...... I see that out of the context in my head that point is lost.
@@chrisharris6206
So what ????
The reactors thought this was the original, that's what !!!
The guy was correcting their mistake, whether or not you or I prefer either version is irrelevant
The truth is the truth, and Gloria Jones was the original
@@samolevski1119 Sam yes 💯 the original like you said, and it's up to the reactors to play what they choose , I get that. But they rely also in comments, suggestions, get it, that social media , etc, You Tube. Most don't play the extended what most ask for understand 🙄,???. I know the original I'm not talking about that look at the title they picked.
So, that’s the radio version ya’ll were listening to - but there’s a long or extended version of this song by Soft Cell that is super cool. Way better than this version.
Love my 80s such a great song I just got that cassette
Very good upbeat song released in 81. Hmmm, never knew this was a cover before a month ago or so. Original was by Gloria Jones in 64. Never heard it. May check it out. Yr reactions are very respectful and entertaining, dig them!
About 25 years ago, I was living in south Missouri. This song came on the radio, stopped and then started over from the beginning. This cycle kept repeating for at least an hour... Who knows what really happened, but I always imagined an irate DJ barricaded in his booth laughing like crazy and giving the finger to the station owners.
The first time I heard this (the long version) was on KSHE. I was pulling into my garage where I lived in St. Louis. I sat there, with the car running in the garage, until the whole song finished. I was stunned. That was a few decades ago.
Thank you for picking this 80's New Wave classic...!!...I still ROCK OUT to this jem!..Love Your Reaction
100% huge 80's hit. Surprisingly, as much I love this song, I've NEVER seen this video. Must've missed it on the MTV rotation.
The original video is a bit weirder and featured Marc Almond in a toga meeting David Ball on Mount Olympus (supposedly!). This video is from 1991 when the song was re-released.
Soft Cell wasn't the Originators of "Tainted Love" Gloria Jones did it first in 1964 as a R&B song. Ed Cobb wrote the song and Gloria recorded first. Ed Cobb was formally of The Four Preps. The Record Company was Champion Records. Soft Cell did the song in 1981. I decided to expand on what J Gamble already said.
'Say Hello, Wave Goodbye' is an absolute classic. David Gray (another artist you should look into) does an amazing cover of it. 👍🏼
You've got to see how this is used in the movie 'The Coneheads' especially near the end when Beldar has to narfle the garthunk 🙂
Would love you to do the original of this by Gloria Jones from the mid-60’s. There is a recording of her performing this with Soft Cell live. They were good friends by all accounts
There was a great Levi’s commercial featuring this song. You should look for it.
Another one I danced to with my friends; in Brooklyn there were some clubs that would have Sunday afternoon hours for those of us who were underage; it was always that or the roller rink, every weekend. Great times ❤️
Yes .80s...good times
Man, I remember fixing my bike in my garage hearing this song. I was 15 years old when it came out. 😱….and you both were not even born.
I just watched the Gloria Jones original video of this! What a great song it was. I had no idea that Soft Cell was a cover. You guys should check it out (Gloria is a "sister" too!!)
Soft Cell just released a single (well, EP) with Pet Shop Boys - Purple Zone. I heard it just the other day and it is lodged firmly in my brain.
And guess who's never reacted to Pet Shop Boys . . . ?
There's a brilliant cover of this done by Marilyn Manson (of all people) & the vid is cool too😎
"You better get your hands offa me cuz Imma like it!" LMAO!
I've always dug this song. Don't know if they had other hits but dude has a great voice!
They did, with Bedsitter, What? And Torch
The original by Gloria Jones is a classic Northern Soul song
I saw these guys perform in 82 and it was just a fun show. I’ve always loved this song. Marilyn Manson does a decent cover of this song but the OG is the best
This isn't the OG. The OG is by Gloria Jones, released in 1964.
@@eskayh7734 You’re right. I had forgotten that. Thanks for the remind!
Awe the 80's fun times
This is the short version, you guys need to listen to the long version.
It's a shame that this is actually the 1991 rerecording for their greatest hits at the time,not the original 1981 version which features an entirely different promo video.
I believe the OG video was hid away because Marc got accusations of being a pedophile and they didn’t want to remind people of it again
@@square_kirby7852 I’m not sure why the original video has anything to do with that,he is just playing a part. In those Roman times there were some distasteful things happening.
The backing vocals remind me of those in "Heart Full of Soul" by the Yardbirds.
Classic 80s song. love 80s songs
the 12" version that mixes into "Where Did Our Love Go" is classic!!
Hey yeah I read the comments below and I checked out that Gloria Jones original
Which I did not know about…
Love the UK 80s
Classic for the time. Love it. New wave, but it was a huge hit
this was a fun funky electronic jam
Great react! This song was HUGE when it came out, I was in Grade 7 in Toronto and every kid loved this racy song. The extended version had a great second section where they covered "Where did our love go?" by The Supremes and it really works!
The only other hit they had was "Sex Dwarf" which is demented and catchy. "Luring disco dollies to a life of vice..."
The only other hit in Canada maybe! They were (and still are) massive in the UK. 4 more top 5 hits in the year following Tainted Love, followed by another 7 top 40 hits. Also 10 albums (5 reaching top 10). They were THE backdrop to my teens. There was also Marc and the Mambas (an offshoot project) and Marc Almond as a solo artist (who can forget the duet with Gene Pitney!). He is still producing singles to this day. In fact, Soft Cell have just released a new single in collaboration with the Pet Shop Boys - Purple Zone, ahead of their new album. Sex Dwarf was amazing, I agree, although strangely never released as a single in the UK - it was on the Non Stop Erotic Cabaret album.
Soft Cell Where Did Our Love Go
That music clip actually wasn't the original clip, the original had them dressed as cricketers for some reason
I think this is a remastered version. The one that played -- a lot -- on radio in the early '80s was at a slightly slower tempo, too.
Now you have to react to the original by Gloria Jones from 1964..
Baby, baby, Where did our love go...??
For some reason I got the urge to rent "Coneheads" 🎸☮️💕
child of the eighties...good lord i loved this song !
Love this song. Did Misty, where did our love go, at the end.
Here for this one too
There's an extended version w/ their covering the Supreme's Where Did Our Love Go?
This song - I crank.this.UP
Marc Almond went solo and has amazing songs as a solo artist. Please react to TEARS RUN RINGS it was one of his 80's hits and it is EPIC! (original video)
Marc Almond from soft cell does a great version of I feel love/Johnny remember me with Bronski Beat. Definitely worth a listen
You want the 1981 version, this is the 1991 reissue, in the video marc almonds dressed as a greek god and dave ball a cricketer
Absolutely Great Song! ✨⭐️💫🔥
Oh no, you listened to the short version! You would have really really liked it!👍👍👍
Try their song 'Sex Dwarfs'.
Also try the singer Marc Almond's duet with Gene Pitney on a cover of Gene's song 'Something's Gotten Hold Of My Heart'.
awesome song❤ thanks for showing videos😂 love you and your reaction guys❤❤️ BANGER 👍
Yes,this song was huge but it reminds of the movie "Cone Heads" the high school girls in back seat screaming and singing to this song.
So glad you reacted to this version.. It's my favorite. 🤘✌️
Hi guys love the reactions 😀 did you hear the original from Gloria Jones in the 60s
Soft Cell From Leeds, England. 👍
Great song!
Tainted Love Wow Memories Thanks for the Ride
Check out Sex Dwarf (live) by Soft Cell. It's probably too perverted for your ch. but worth taking a look at for fun.
I guess I'm used to the extended version because this doesn't sound like the original version they released. It's like they re-recorded a version that for an anniversary edition or something and then changed the audio for this video. This one is better...th-cam.com/video/3p2lUqekJXU/w-d-xo.html
pls do the Danish Symphony Orchestra ,the good the bad and the ugly ,it is just so good ,it go right in the heart :)
Caleb Meyer - Gillian Welch & David Rawlings
I wish you had the version at the end they make an homage to Gloria Jones and Her version.
Please check out What! and Say Hello, Wave Goodbye. You two are amazing! FYI - this wasn’t the original mix of this song. And this is a remake of ‘60s song by Gloria Jones. Please consider reacting to her version!
Been rockin' this since the club days (and it's NEVER stopped playing in the clubs), but I've never seen this video. Is this original?
I like their cover of “Where Did Our Love Go”
Ahhhh, the 80s!
OK guys - now just the Gloria Jones ( THE ORIGINAL ) version from 1964 to go and you've completed the set . It was a Northern Soul classic in the 70s
