You Know,..........2006-05-03

These brothers deserve more credit than what they have received in the music world. Are they in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame? Classic bangers! Heaven... Must be missing an Angel. Missing one angel chil' cause you're here with me---Right Now. and Whodunit.......Who stole my baby. WHODUNIT. Everyone in the room looks shady. WHODUNIT. Who took my girl from meee, yeeah! CLASSICS. More Than a Woman.... More than a woman to me-BaayeeBay. Sooo many great singing groups are (unfortunately and fortunately) singing in Atlantic City, Vegas or wherever they can get a gig. And when they pass on, WE TOTALLY FORGET THEM! Damn Shame. Let's see what becomes of June Pointer's legacy and the Pointer Sisters. TAVARES RULES

A Long Time Coming.......2005-12-24

A lot of groups seem like overnight successes. The Tavares Brothers started out years earlier as Chubby and the Turnpikes. Renamed Tavares at Capitol Records they started with "Check it Out", covers of Rick Derringer's "Rock and Roll Hootchie Koo", and Hall & Oates "She's Gone". Their biggest hits came next including "It Only Takes a Minute, Heaven Must be Missing an Angel" and the cut that was used in the movie "Short Circuit" as well, "More Than a Woman". Johnny Five dances with Ally Sheedy. Alive! The same as this album is, music to make you come alive and get up and dance. Enjoy.

Seventies soul group popular in Britain.......2003-12-21

Looking at their chart history, it seems that Tavares were more popular in Britain, where they had four top ten pop hits, than their American homeland, where they had just one. Exactly why this should be so is not clear to me, but although Tavares were by no means the most important group of their era, they recorded some great songs.

This compilation includes all except one of their American top forty pop hits (Remember what I told you) and most of their ten UK hits, including a remix of Heaven must be missing an angel but not the original. While I would have preferred the original, the difference is not as dramatic as it might have been.

Heaven must be missing an angel, Don't take away the music, Whodunit and More than a woman (a track from the Saturday night fever soundtrack) were all UK top ten hits that made the American top forty pop chart. It only takes a minute was their only American top ten pop hit - it was a minor UK hit in 1986 having missed the chart, or maybe not been released, back in the seventies.

The mighty power of love (top thirty) and One step away (top twenty) are other UK hits included here, while Check it out was an American top forty pop hit. Other tracks include a cover of the Hall and Oates classic She's gone.

If you are interested in seventies soul music, Tavares are definitely worth a listen.

Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel.......2003-07-10

In reference to the first review, any "Tavares" recording is great!! No matter what. This person was dissapointed with the remake of "Heaven." If you are a true "Tavares" fan, you can appreciate whatever it is they recorded. I am a die hard fan and they are DYNAMIC!!

Not What You Think You Are Buying.......2003-04-17

One of my favorite songs on this CD"Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel" turns out to be a 1986 remake that does not sound like the original song that came out in 1977. It is an adulterated later version of the original song.The other songs on this CD are the otiginal 70s songs like "It Only Takes a Minute" and "Whodunit" which are great and make me give this an average rating,however I am strongly disappointed that "Heaven Must be Missing an Angel" on this CD is not the original version.
