Soft Cell are an English synthpop duo who came to prominence in the early 1980s. They consist of vocalist Marc Almond and David Ball on synthesizers.
The duo is well known for their 1981 worldwide success - a significantly reworked cover version of Gloria Jones' "Tainted Love".

In addition, the band also had four UK top 20 albums between 1981 and 1984.
