"I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it."
Thank you, Marty we did!
I thought that song was Go Johnny Go
Remarkable song for 1964!
@bjgould83......Although Gloria Jones did record 'Tainted Love' in 1964 - it was actually released in 1965.
I am digging the original. Love the soulful vibe of Gloria's voice.
This is the first time I'm hearing this version, wow. One of my favorite 80's songs was a remake.
This is the original song.
FYI - Gloria Jones joined T-Rex in the 1970s and became romantically involved with T-Rex's singer Marc Bolan. They had a child together named Rolan Bolan. When Marc Bolan died in a car accident on September 16, 1977, it was Gloria Jones who was driving the car that crashed into the tree.
New por me too
@@RaBob wow never knew that. Tragic that Marc Bolan died so young like many talented artists. Also sad that the accident stopped Gaynor's career through injury and caused her such financial and obvious emotional hardship. I read she is running an orphanage and their son Rolan Bolan seems pretty down to earth.
@@TimonKaiPumpa the dancers are so beautiful and doing swing so good
I'm really impressed by this original version What a great song
Really impressed that I went a whole day without gay intercourse ❤
The video is better...no contest. This version of the song is awesome!
🎉❤🎉
Born in 85, I grew up with my mom in Detroit, she listened to nothing but 90s R&B, Blues, and Motown classics - yet I completely forgot about this original or simply never knew. I was playing GTA San Andreas on PS2 emulation just now and this song came on, and its by FAR the best version, hands down! Theres something dark'n'moody about a lot of 60s chord progressions while also keeping that bounce that makes you indecisive on whether you want to dance or close your eyes and let the music wrap around your brain. I love it!
The 60s Version was in San Andreas?
Ain’t no way I reading all that old head 😂😂🎉❤
I never knew this was the original version. Only learnt about it via BBC article about Wigan Northern Soul 50th anniversary at Casino club. I thought it was an 80's song. Love it.
Original version of songs are the best
Agreed 👍

Excellent! It’s the first time I have heard the original.
I'm so glad more and more footage is coming out around her performances. She deserves it!
Killer looks and a voice to go with it !
Agree 100%
This is the original 🤗🤗🤗
Heads are bouncing and hairs are flying! Metal prelude. x)
I kept thinking, how dizzy are these back up singers/dancers getting?
A Northern Soul classic.
The Queen of .....
Wow, I had never heard this version before. And what a fantastic video! (I remember my mom dancing in the 1960s similarly to the dancers in this video. Good, wholesome fun, dancing together in the kitchen to the radio.)
Those background dancers were putting in WORK!
the lack of bras certainly made this very memorable
What they not even on beat that looks a mess.
@@MrRaulstrnad makes up for x
'Gloria's' lack of femininity i guess 🧐🤔
@@tamarasmart6694the video is not well synced it seems, but any way im captivated, they seem to love the job.
60s soul motown best music ever
This is absolutely incredible.
Love the part in all versions.
"Don't touch me please.........
omg, yes, and same lol. I did a slightly modified version, changing ".the way you tease" to "the way it feels" - among some other changes to make it a bit more personally depict a truly tainted love I was desperate to get away from. It was kinda good, but I never quite got the alliteration to click just right, and shelved it. Hearing this version for the first time in so long makes me realllly wanna start covering it again, but probably unchanged.
masterpiece
What???
Somewhere in a basement, closet or corporate/tv vault there is original footage of Jones doing Tainted Love. Will it ever see the light of day?
Gloria Jones had one hell of a voice
I flipping hope so!
fabulous dancers
How this is not in a Quinton Tarantino movie I don't know, brilliant song
Thats what i thought too

Wow... I love her voice. I think this is better than the one from the 80s! I never knew that was a cover!
@bohuslav5019...........In 1964 Gloria Jones launched a solo career as a 'Soul' singer after being reasonably successful as a Gospel artist. She teamed up with legendary songwriter and producer Ed Cobb, and released her first solo single, "Heartbeat Pts 1 & 2''. The song did well and resulted in Jones attracting a lot of interest. She embarked on several tours and did a number of TV performances.
Still in 1964 and after switching record companies to 'Uptown' [a subsidiary of Capitol/EMI] but retaining Cobb as her songwriter and producer - Jones recorded arguably one of the most significant and sought-after singles in popular music history. That record was 'Tainted Love' - and its impact was phenomenal.
Although actually released in 1965 on her new record company's 'Champion' record label, 'Tainted Love' literally exploded and cemented Gloria Jones's status as the undisputed 'Queen of Northern Soul'. I was a devoted Northern Soul fan from 1972 until 1978 - and I have never ever known a record that has had the same impact as 'Tainted Love'.
And I was even lucky enough to hear it when it was very first played on the Northern Soul scene in 1973 by acclaimed NS DJ Richard Searling at the ill-fated Va-Va's nightclub in Bolton. It literally blew the roof off! Sadly Va-Va's was raided by the police and closed down in July 1973 after only a few months. [I was there that night!]
Searling had the only copy of 'Tainted Love' in the country at that time, so we had to wait until September of 1973 to hear it again. Now according to Gloria Jones herself, the record was brought over to England by a soldier in the US military and he 'swapped' it for some cigarettes with a British guy - who then took to a local Soul Club and got the DJ there to play it.
With respect to Ms Jones this is a complete myth. Searling [who like many of the top NS DJ's regularly went over to the US to scour little known record companies for records that he could play] found a copy and brought it back to the UK. However, Ms Jones states that she didn't really enjoy recording the song. [coming from a strict religious background, the song's 'subject matter' was very risque].
Whatever the case 'Tainted Love' again exploded on the Northern Soul scene when Richard Searling became resident DJ with Russ Winstanley at the infamous 'Wigan Casino' and got the chance to play it again. Once more, it took the roof off and its association with the Casino was permanently established.
As with many of these extremely rare NS records [an original 'general issue' copy of 'Tainted Love' on the Champion label fetches approx £300 - and a demo copy will set you back closer to £500] it was massively 'bootlegged' as NS fans clamoured to get their own copies.
Although absolutely monumental on the NS scene and one of the most beloved Northern Soul 'anthems' ever - very few people outside of the NS scene knew anything at all about the record. But that all changed in 1981 when Marc Almond and David Ball - who had formed synth-pop band, Soft Cell and were regulars at a Sheffield nightclub - heard the record and released a version.
It went straight to Number 1 in the UK pop charts and became the 'best-selling UK single of 1981'. Ironically, Gloria Jones's original version still remained almost completely unknown by the vast majority of the British record-buying public. Despite this, Ms Jones enjoyed further success by releasing the excellent 'Come Go with Me' LP [on the Uptown record label] in 1966.
I have an original copy of the LP and the title track ['Come Go with Me'] also became a huge favourite on the NS scene - particularly at Blackpool Mecca. [Jones who had gained a degree as an advanced level classical pianist - accompanied herself on the record which gave the song a very polished and accomplished delivery.
Personally, I actually prefer 'Come Go with Me' to 'Tainted Love'. But don't misunderstand me! 'Tainted Love' was a phenomenon and Gloria Jones' original version pisses all over Soft Cell's! Get a copy of Gloria Jones's original version, put it on your turntable, crank up the volume and I promise you - it will blow your f**king socks off!
Almost all great pop songs are covers.
QUE BESTIALIDAD DE VERSION !!!! Suena bárbaro para esta época ...u s versión INFINITA !!!!! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This version is currently being used on a commercial on UK TV
Makes you think! A great song ...much better than ANY cover!
Truly bonkers! what an eye opener..... this video is but what an amazing song
Adelantada a su tiempo, version fantastica.
DEFINITIVAMENTE adelantada a su tiempo, no suena a nada de los años 60.
Se seguirán sorprendiendo de la cantidad de versiones originales que no necesitaban ningún cover...
@@luispylramirez1347la verdad que si , yo no tenia idea que la version de los ochenta era un Copia 😢

✨MAGNIFIQUE✨
Love this song! =)
Soft cells version is amazing but this is another level!
First timer here. How did I miss this lady.
~ What a shame I am not a lip reader, but I imagine these folks are dancing to Heartbeat not Tainted Love. Both classics. Honour & respect to living legend, Gloria Jones.
Cheers, DAVEDJ ~
I think you are totally correct, I love both songs but yeah not Tainted Love.

She definitely not singing in sync, if this song at all. Even the body language is inappropriate for ‘Tainted Love’. I think you are on to something there. I noticed that it seemed odd but it wasn’t until I saw your comment that I realized what it was about it that was off the mark. Thanks!
Record dubbed over Heartbeat from Hollywood A Go Go show, wonder if they dubbed Night Owl over Bobby Paris from same show😉
Girls background dancers just killing me!
Northern soul stomper for sure, nice edit
The 60s and the 80s...very intertwined.
Для 1964 года - просто супер. Опередили своё время на все 100 % !
大好きです
This song is so sick, and the original is my fave, very fierce!! Thanks GTA SA, even my 15 yo self thought this song kicked so much ass
Timeless
This song was written by Ed Cobb of the Four Preps. Cobb also wrote a number of hits songs for the band The Standells, such as “Dirty Water” he’s also credited with Rihanna’s hit song “SOS”.
Sweet! learn something new everyday! 2020 much better than soft cell
Who else is here from KRCW's Tik Tok. Ohh ... I like the original!!!
Wow!
Wahou ! Je ne savais pas!
Gloria Jones went on to become Mark Bolan's wife, she was actually driving the car when it crashed.
No they were not married. Marc had been married to a girl called June Child but was divorced.
He and Gloria were in a committed relationship and shared a son, Rolan.The mini had been serviced a few days before and when inspected after the crash was found to be faulty. On this basis because a manslaughter charge could not be brought against her, only driving under the influence was left. She had returned to the US. Incredibly back then, that was not a charge persued often.
those were the days, my friend
❤❤❤
I like the music
Opoon dah
Yo pok odo opo yo
This song was definitely DECADES AHEAD OF ITS TIME. That beat, that tempo & those hooks are DEFINITELY New Wave & don't belong in 1964. Musical prophecy.
@Scimmia - It was epic for sure but pop music in each decade is generally characterized by certain stylistic, melodic & compositional conventions which is the reason 60s music has a certain "sound" & "feel" to it & the same applies to 70s, 80s & 90s pop/rock. Heavy Metal sounds different from Punk Rock & New Wave sounds different from Grunge so it's most definitely NOT nonsense. It's in THAT sense that I wrote that this song by Gloria Jones was "ahead of its time" because it doesn't seem to fit with most 60s music in terms of style, tempo & composition & if your knowledge of music & your ability to appreciate changes in social & cultural history are too limited to understand that then I truly pity you.
@Scimmia - Just sharing an opinion & expressing a viewpoint. It's called "free speech". Best regards.
It was of its time. Music today is shit.
Just amazing
Better a thousand times than any other version.
Most of the good versions of anything are about equally good; namely, a thousand times better than I could do.
As a general rule whenever anyone says one version is better or worse than another version they’re wrong.
I like the Soft Cell version better. But, that's my opinion.
@@jeremymenchacaAnd that's fair enough. In my opinion, it's impossible for a cover to be better than an original, for obvious reasons.
if your cover competes with the original, you're doing something wrong. the point of a cover isn't to copy an existing song, it's to take it in a new direction
while i'm personally not a fan of soft cell's version, it makes something new out of something old, just as a cover should, and i respect that
From 60s anthem to 80s New Wave !
First class . Keep the faith
Wonderful!!
Ooooh amazing ! Great 👍
driving a Elegant or Premier in Downtown or Market listening this masterpiece👏👏
I’m a 1980s kid but I like Gloria Jones’ version of Tainted Love too. #GenX
This version was better than her 1976 remake!
Beautiful
I love this song! When I'm cleaning up I throw my old school on and this is my first song on my playlist then It's Deep Shadows by Little Ann followed by Etta James (Live) I'd rather Go Blind!
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away, I've got to
Get away from the pain you drive into the heart of me
The love we share seems to go nowhere
And our love's not right
For I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night
[Pre-Chorus]
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you (Now I run)
The tainted love you're giving
I gave you all a girl can give you
Take, not give
And that's not nearly all
[Chorus]
Tainted love (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love
[Verse 2]
Now I know I've got to
Run away, I've got to
Get away, you don't really want any love from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And who think love is to play
Well, I'm sorry, I don't play that way
[Pre-Chorus]
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you (Now I run)
The tainted love you're giving
I gave you all a girl can give you
Take, not give
And that's not nearly all
[Chorus]
Tainted love (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love
[Verse 3]
Don't touch me, please (Please)
I cannot stand the way you (Tease)
I know you a-hurt me so
If I do not pack my things and go (Oh-oh-oh)
[Chorus/Outro]
Tainted love (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love, oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh)
Tainted love (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Talking 'bout the tainted love (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Talking 'bout the tainted love (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Talking 'bout the tainted love
Wow just brilliant thank you, to think Sir Richard Searling found this on a warehouse floor
To think a label put this as a B side
1964. Perhaps the arrival of the Beatles, and the fact that this was on the back end of the Motown Sound era, denied this song the fame that it deserved. This version is much more up beat than the Soft Cell version, which seems rather dark and angst-filled. That being said, both versions are quite enjoyable.
The best coreography
I just found out about the original after all these years.
I'm sorry - I don't pray that way. Classic

The OG.
Gloria Jones...Marc Bolan from T Rex forner girl friend..They had a child together before his tragic death in 1977...

Do you think Gloria is a true xx chromosomed woman? Google the name and check out the recent photos 🤔🤔
She drove them into a tree

Never heard this original, didn't even know it existed lol.
There's serious headbanging lol. 🤘
i finally reached the original.
Tainted love - soft cell is prob the best song I’ve seen that covered this
Btw I meant by soft cell
W💙W!!! Soft Cell’s version SUCKS compared to the original!!
@@djknox2 - lol!!! The GoGo boots were the best.
Interesting original. I like the remake much better but each reflects the sound of it's time. Nice bop anyway!
Covid version goes *don't touch me please, I cannot stand the way you sneeze* 🤧
Keep the faith ✊
Хореграфии - Но=ль
Но Как Всё таки - Это Потрясающе Великолепно (Настоящие Женщины...там.... формы.......... ммммммммммм...........)
Did not know this is a remake
Holy shit I’m getting goosebumps
WOW I was born in 1965 😲 didn't know this was the original?
I like both the 1965 & 1981 but the 81 I enjoy more, it's more enhanced with more musical instruments 💞🔥💞🔥💞🕊️

Que canción tan grandiosa la original, aunque prefiero la copia de Soft Cell, sim embargo ambas son de lo mejor
The famous Soft Cell version has stayed one of my least favorite songs of all time since I was a child. I was so mad when I discovered that it was just a cover and that the original was really fun and good. Gloria Jones Im so sorry those guys and their synths happened to you
Na minha mente só vem GTA San Andreas. muito boa essa música.😁😎🙌
Algum Brasileiro(a) gostava desta musica jogando GTA San Andreas mas nao sabia o nome da musica ou da cantora dê um like! ❤
-O mais engraçado é que essa musica vicia! Kkk
master sounds 98.3
Listen to “Heartbeat”, by the same artist.
I don’t know what SONG the background dancers were dancing to but it wasn’t tainted love.
Yes is not Tainted Love, Gloria was singing Heartbeat on the original video.
fun fact she was the driver of marc bolan's mini when he's died
I didn't know!!
