@SW-User funny little fact... because their label is refusing to publish their catalog on sites such as iTunes, they have re-recorded many of their hits. Basically the ones you can hear on iTunes are essentialy covers of their own songs

@Deadcutie wow really!!

Not sure if it really qualifies as a cover since it was originally written for meatloaf for his bat out of hell 2 album, and when it couldn’t be fit in, celene Dion was given it... then meatloaf fit his version onto bat out of hell3

@SW-User The original was some obscure Northern Soul tune... one moment... yup, Gloria Jones in 1964. I don't think it even made the charts.

"Bedsitter", Soft Cell's other big hit, WAS an original, though.

@TheThinker Gloria Jones was a Motown artist at one point as well as the "Northern Queen of Soul". Just saying.🙂

@bijouxbroussard Now that I didn't know, thank you!
I actually do quite like her version but for me the Soft Cell version just edges it... that may be of course because I was 16 when it came out and I have a lot of memories tied up with it. :-)
