Tavares - Goodnight My Love • TopPop

Tavares (also known as The Tavares Brothers) is an American R&B, funk and soul music group composed of five Cape Verdean-American brothers. Born and raised in Providence, Rhode Island, they would later move to New Bedford, Massachusetts.
Tavares is:
• Butch - Feliciano Tavares, born 18 May 1948.
• Chubby - Antone Lee Tavares, born 2 June 1945.
• Pooch - Arthur Lee Tavares, born 12 November 1943.
• Ralph - Ralph Viera Tavares, born 10 December 1942.
• Tiny - Perry Lee Tavares, born 24 October 1949.
1975 turned out to be their most successful year chartwise, with a Top 40 Pop album (In the City), the No. 25 hit "Remember What I Told You to Forget", and their biggest hit, the Top 10 Pop/No. 1 R&B smash "It Only Takes a Minute", which was later successfully covered by both Jonathan King and Take That, and sampled by Jennifer Lopez. They parlayed this success into a spot as an opening act for The Jackson 5. KC and The Sunshine Band was also on this tour. "Minute" was followed by a string of hits: "Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel" (1976), "Don't Take Away the Music" (1976), and "Whodunit" (1977, another No. 1 R&B hit).

The Tavares brothers were never recognized enough.

[@joycealgofaidi8768]

Played as the last song of the night at most of the teen dances back in the 60's. Great memories!

[@sallysson]

Absolutely a beautiful ballad. This music needs to come back. You can't think about drive-bys and senseless killing when listening to this kind of music.

I have never heard this song by The Tavares! I have only heard the one by Jessie Belvin that my mother listened to. This guy made this version his own! He killed it!

[@nancywood9531]

Also recorded in 59 by Ray Peterson...beautiful version too. But Chubby knocked it out of park. Written by Barrh White when he was only a young teenager.

This is the one of best R&B groups back in the 60’s. I saw them as a young person in Toronto. They were amazing and funny they still are in my opinion. We are all getting older but the music from there is the best. Music makes me so happy

[@greatmusicneverdies6253]

The finest R&B group of all time!!!! Four of them sang lead vocals...depending on the song. 70% of them were by Chubby....followed by Butch, the falsetto specialist. No one, past or present, had better vocals....and their writing was great too!!! I am proud to say Chubby is a friend of mine!! A real nice guy....
