Two Hearts by Phil Collins fell from 1 to 10 in 1989. Forever Your Girl by Paula Abdul fell 1 to 8 that same year. I don't know if there are other songs that fell further from #1 in the 80s though From #1 to #8: "On my own" by Patti LaBelle & Michael McDonald (7/5/86) "Bad medicine" by Bon Jovi (12/3/88) "Forever your girl" by Paula Abdul (6/3/89) From #1 to #7: "Don´t you want me" by The Human League (7/24/82) "Like a virgin" by Madonna (2/2/85) "Jacob´s ladder" by Huey Lewis & The News (3/21/87) "I knew you were waiting (for me)" by Aretha Franklin & George Michael (5/2/87) "Roll with it" by Steve Winwood (8/27/88)

Two more additions to the song "Tainted Love": Soft Cell Sometime in the early 70s. A ship that has crossed the Atlantic Ocean stops at a port in Great Britain. A sailor gets off the ship - looking for cigarettes. His problem: he has no money, so he tries to trade anything he owns for some cigarettes. The sailor meets a young DJ, Richard Searling, who agrees to a deal with him: Cigarettes for a record. And so the sailor gives the DJ a single. On it a song that is largely unknown in Europe. Some sailors have heard the song on the radio there on their trips to America - "Tainted Love" by soul singer Gloria Jones. Gloria Jones grew up as the daughter of a minister. No wonder she is brought up strictly Christian - so much so that she is not even allowed to put on makeup, not to mention kissing. Then she is discovered by a producer in 1964. One of the songs he has in mind for Gloria Jones is "Tainted Love". Because of her strict religious upbringing, the song is repugnant to her. But Gloria Jones was reassured: the song would only be on the B-side of her single "My Bad Boy´s Comin´ Home". Gloria Jones records the song. And her producer was right: hardly anyone was interested in the B-side - but not in the A-side either. And that was the end of the story of "Tainted Love" for the singer - if it wasn´t for the barter deal between the sailor and the DJ. Richard Searling is a DJ in a "social club" at this time. By the way, these "social clubs" still exist today. You only get in if you´re a member - and that costs money. But that also ensures that only those people who are interested really come. For Richard Searling, the sound of "Tainted Love" fits perfectly into the Northern English club scene of the early 70s. The North of England has kept a certain independence until today - also in the music. When Richard Searling put on the record by Gloria Jones, people went crazy about it. "Tainted Love" becomes a scene hit. Who doesn´t notice: Gloria Jones. In the meantime she earns her money as a background singer for Elvis Presley. She also writes songs for the Supremes and the Jackson Five. A few years later. The record company Phonogram Records has had enough. Soft Cell, a band they have under contract, still hasn´t landed a hit despite several attempts. Now they give Soft Cell exactly one more chance - either they make the breakthrough with their next single - or they get kicked out. The band consists of Marc Almond and Dave Ball. The Brits met while studying in Leeds. In 1980, they didn´t have enough money for their first EP. So mom has to help. Dave Ball´s mother goes to the bank and takes out a loan of 2,000 pounds. With this money, the boys produce their EP "Mutant Moments". And indeed: Mom´s investment pays off. Because now some record companies take notice of Soft Cell. Soft Cell slowly gains a foothold in the music scene and continues to release music. With their song "Memorabilia" they are able to land a club hit, but the big success is still missing. The two know that they have to deliver. Their next single must be something very special. And the boys are quickly sure: "Tainted Love" will be their salvation. The song sounds exactly like what they need. They provide their cover with a sound that is on the one hand modern and on the other hand warm. A mixture that works perfectly - the song will be a big hit. Gloria Jones is also thrilled. She likes the new version better than her original. She finds that Soft Cell have packed exactly the emotions into the song that were still missing. By the way, the singer and co-founder of the band, Marc Almond, started a no less successful solo career after the breakup of Soft Cell. David Ball started a more experimental solo career. He worked intensively with Genesis P. Orridge of Throbbing Gristle. Later he also released some techno records in England. In 2003 Soft Cell got together again and released the album "Cruelty Without Beauty". Gloria Jones A fatal night in September 1977: It´s already past midnight when Marc Bolan arrives at Morton´s Club in Mayfair, accompanied by Gloria Jones and her brother Richard. The mood is relaxed, and well after four in the morning the trio sets off for home. Marc and Gloria drive the Mini. The singer´s Rolls Royce has been loaned to Hawkwind by Bolan´s management that evening. Up to the narrow, humpbacked bridge, which leads over a railroad line on Queen´s Ride, the drive to Richmond passes without any special incidents. As Richard Jones will later report, he sees the tail lights of the Mini disappear in front of him behind the apex of the bridge. The very next moment a column of smoke rises, moments later Jones discovers the wreckage in the headlights. The Mini has crashed into a tree on the left side of the road. Jones already suspects that any help will probably come too late. In fact, Marc Bolan is dead on the spot. His girlfriend, unconscious and pinned in the driver´s seat, is hospitalized with a broken leg and jaw. Later, a court will determine whether the driver was impaired by alcohol or drugs. Gloria Jones, however, does not appear at the hearing. Instead, it turns out that the wheels of the car involved in the accident had been balanced and a tire had been changed at a workshop two days earlier. Loosened wheel nuts and significantly reduced tire pressure were also found - possibly the reason why Gloria lost control of the vehicle.

listenerwants2know - thank you for sharing that perspective on that fatal 1977 accident, which killed Marc Bolan. I read the Wikipedia article on Gloria Jones, which didn't mention the work performed on the car right before the accident. (We know Wikipedia, while very informative, isn't the be-all-end-all.) Great stuff re: "Tainted Love". 🙂

I know this is the 35th anniversary of this show and there hasn't been a 1988 standalone since May, but it annoys me that yet again a show that hasn't aired in over five years (8/2/1980, which had its one and only airing eight years ago) is skipped over for one that last aired four years ago.
