The question says the original Tainted Love ...which was not by Soft Cell. Theirs was a cover version and is probably the one that most people remember for obvious reasons.
As previous noted in other answers Tainted Love was composed by Ed Cobb and ORIGINALLY recorded by Gloria Jones in 1964.

stop saying Soft Cell!!!!!! Listen to the guy before it was Gloria Jones in the 60's. It was a big Northern Soul record then in the 80's the Soft Cell guys covered it in the Electro style for which it is best know! Then Manson did nothing to it and released it 20 years on practically...
