<p><em>KCRW’s acclaimed music documentary podcast, </em><strong>Lost Notes</strong><em>, returns for its fourth season. Co-hosts </em><strong><em>Novena Carmel</em></strong><em> (KCRW) and </em><strong><em>Michael Barnes</em></strong><em> (KCRW / KPFK / Artform Radio) guide you through eight wildly different and deeply human stories, each set against the kaleidoscopic backdrop of LA’s soul and R&B scene of the 1950s-1970s.

<p>This season of <em>Lost Notes</em> kicked off with the story of “Tainted Love” – and, more specifically, the story of its original singer, <strong>Gloria Jones. </strong>Despite a fascinating and wide-ranging career that stretched over decades, Gloria largely suffered the indignity of being a one-hit wonder who never even enjoyed having that one hit for herself. But as anyone who heard our episode knows, Gloria Jones was responsible for <em>so</em> much amazing music … with a life story to match.</p>
<p>Now, we conclude our season by hearing it all from Gloria herself, from the original recording of “Tainted Love” to her songwriting career at Motown and her life with Marc Bolan of T. Rex – as well as the 60th anniversary of that legendary and iconic song. Gloria sat down with Michael Barnes at KCRW in July of 2024.</p>
