Tavares is a five-brother singing group formed in 1964 in New Bedford, MA. They are best known for the million-selling single Heaven must be missing an angel. The Tavares brothers consisting of Arthur Tavares, Ralph Vierra Tavares, Perry Lee Tavares, Antone Tavares, and Feliciano Tavares started the group in 1964 as Chubby and the Turnpikes. More than a woman was specifically written for Tavares and was issued as a single from the 11-million-selling Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. A greatest hits set, The best of Tavares, was released in fall 1977. On 1979's Madame Butterfly LP, the group worked with Philly soul arranger/producer Bobby Martin (the Manhattans, LTD). In 1994, Canadian label Unidisc released The best of Tavares revisited, which had re-recordings by the group of their past hits.
