#AtoZ 1981 Songs to Remember - "T" is for "Tainted Love"

I chose 1981 music as my theme this year. My newest novel The Summer of Princess Diana is set in the summer of 1981, and oh! the music! Let’s take a look back at a pivotal time in the music industry.

Did you know that "Tainted Love" was originally recorded by singer Gloria Jones in 1964? I did not know!! It really became famous after it was reworked by the British synthpop duo Soft Cell in 1981. Let's watch and listen to the 1981 hit first:
