A common misconception. Gloria Jones, (the girlfriend of Marc Bolan of T-Rex) released it in the later 60s. Download it - It's just as good as the soft Cell version IMO :)

No 5 - Phil Collins

Hello Ice Princess are you there. It is not often that I do these quizzes and I am intrigued about the answers of this quiz. I too believed that Soft Cell was the first to sing Tainted Love. Please respond....... :'(
Subject: Re: Mel says it's Quiz time! (10 left)
Nope! Gloria Jones definitely did it first... I have it on an album.
