Its very difficult comparing this with the Frankie Vallie version. To me this is a poor version, Simon Cowell may say Marc made it his own. But a poor second in my book.
Not Soft Cell's best but great to see Leeds boys paying homage to Frankie Valli. This song was a standard when I was growing up in W. Yorks. when I was older I went to the Warehouse in Leeds - just as Marc & Dave were hitting the big time - exciting times
@katenightly Thanks for sharing. What a dull place this would be without the wit, imagination, insight, elegance and all-round cleverness of people such as you.
I'm not crazy about Soft Cell, but I have always thought that he has one of my favorite voices. It sounds to me like the '80s, and I can't seem to avoid doing a slight impression whenever I try to sing anything.
Amazing,Marc Almond is totally an original master of soul &music,one of the best voices in the music world,im 25 and i look to him as my idol,cant wait to see him in December at Shepherds Bush Empire,and this video is gold,there is art in this song,but one thing is sure it aint falling apart!!
let me put the record straight this not a great version............. but wait untll you hear pulps version oh! my god ...................needless to say dont cover a classic boys
Dear Marc - this is not his best v ehicle, but he still has "it". Check out the live performance of "Traumas, Traumas, Traumas" (The Tube 1985) on you tube. Classic. What a great Englishman.

The beat and bassline is superb. marcs voice just places the "soft cell" label on it. what more could you possibly want?
people say about pulps version. hmm, play them both to a group of 50 people and see which one has the biggest reaction. who will get up and dance!!
soft cell music has always been catchy and stays in your mind for years and years.
