Who remembers their hit from the 80s, then?

[HombreSecreto]

Yep, remember that.

RIP Mr. Ball, but now I’m going to have that tune in my head all day.

[PGalt]

Condolences to family and friends of David Ball.

[MplsSteve]

One of the most horribly overplayed songs of the 1980’s.

[T.B. Yoits]

"Tainted Love" was composed by Ed Cobb, formerly of the Four Preps, and was originally recorded by Gloria Jones in 1964.

Almost twenty years later, Soft Cell did a great cover of it.

One of my favorites from that genre. RIP.

The song was not written by them. It was released in 1964 in the U. A. written by Edward Cobb and sung by Gloria Jones as a pseudo Motown track. In the late sixties and seventies it was very popular in the UK even though it had never been a big hit originally. Jones even re-released it in about ‘76 in the UK, so even re-released it in about 76 while she was dating Mark Bolan from T-Rex.

Apparently Dave Ball was grossly overweight.
