Tavares Tavares

Tavares - Definition and Overview

Tavares is a soul music supergroup comprised of five brothers from Bedford, Massachusetts: Ralph, Tiny, Chubby, Butch and Pooch Tavares.

Originally named Chubby and the Turnpikes, in 1973 they signed with Capitol Records and soon began charting regularly on the R&B and pop charts. Hit songs include It Only Takes a Minute and Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel. Their popularity ebbed with the fading disco scene by the early 1980s.

In 1983, Ralph Tavares stepped down from the group, and Tiny left in the mid 1990s, but the other three brothers continue to tour.
