RIHANNA'S SINGLE SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE OF SAMPLE

Pop star RIHANNA is convinced her hit debut single SOS is successful because it features bits from the classic song TAINTED LOVE.

RIHANNA at the 2005 Music Upfront held at B.B Kings blues club. New York City, USA - 13.09.05

The song was recorded in the 1960s by GLORIA JONES and again in the 1980s by SOFT CELL.

The 18-year-old was born in 1988 and admits she wasn't familiar with either version.

She says, "I didn't know the song very well before, but I did my research when we were recording SOS."

'Tainted Love' by Soft Cell and 'S.O.S.' by Rihanna
