Today is the 54th(!) birthday of Soft Cell singer Marc Almond, so put on your parachute pants and your skinny tie, it’s the Revenge of the 80s! Reaching number 1 in the UK and number 8 in the US, Soft Cell’s “Tainted Love” became one of the top selling singles of all time and stands today as one of the iconic songs of the 1980s. What most people don’t know is that their “Tainted Love” is a cover version of a 1964 soul song by the fabulous Miss Gloria Jones. Since the Soft Cell avalanche, the song has also been covered by Marilyn Manson and the Pussycat Dolls! Celebrate July Love with TomorrowPictures.TV!
