Just found this song, totally by accident. The 80's cover version is loathed with the fire of a thousand suns by a certain morning show radio host, but I don't think it's common knowledge that it was from the 60's. And the original version is damn good. Bumper worthy even. ;)

Well yes. I am surprised. :-)

The singer of the original is Gloria Jones and she was with T- Rex as background singer and keyboardist in the 70's. Also Marc Bolan's Romantic partner.

Yes, but was it a Tainted Love?

Unfortunately yes as she was the driver of the car in 1977 which took Bolan's life.

When I first saw the banner for this post I thought it has to be Tainted Love or Seasons In The Sun. I also had never heard the 1965 original which was the B side of My Bad Boy's Comin Home. It didn't even make the Billboard Bubbling Under chart.

Watch 'their' son give a heartfelt message during the celebration of T-Rex's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Marc was a superstar.
