Tavares Inducted into the Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame May 3, 2014

May 7, 2014 - PRLog -- The Tavares Brothers (all originals) perform worldwide on a regular basis.

“We’ll sing as long as the good Lord blesses us with good voices and good health, and the people still want to hear us,” said the 70-year-old Pooch Tavares in a phone interview last week.

He said Tavares plays about 50 shows a year, singing hits such as “She’s Gone,” “Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel,” “Whodunit” and “More Than a Woman.”

Pooch said he loves to sing, but didn’t especially like handling the business side of the group. Recently, though, Tavares got a new manager, which has freed him from those responsibilities.

“When I hit the stage, I’m a totally different person,” he said. “You get a lot of energy from the audience.”

"I sometimes have to travel to see Tavares but do, it is always such a great show brings me back to my greatest of times in my life, just a lot of fun, and like a fine wine these guys keep getting better and better, congratulations on their honor it is well deserved."  Carol M - Chicago


According to Bellaire, from their earliest days in the Fox Point neighborhood of Providence, it was clear the seven Tavares brothers were born to make music. They are recognized as pioneers in the evolution of R&B from the Soul era into the modern Funk and Disco movements of the ’70s and ’80s. They had over a dozen major hits and won a Grammy for “More Than A Woman,” their contribution to Saturday Night Fever. “But,” says Bellaire, “the best part of the Tavares story for me is not about how great they are or how successful they are. Everyone knows that. For me its about their journey.
