Don't Take Away the Music |
Tavares (also known as The Tavares Brothers) is an American R&B,
funk and soul music group composed of five Cape Verdean-American

Providence, Rhode Island, and they would move back and forth between
the two cities throughout their childhood. They are probably best
known for their 1976 hit "Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel". Members were: Ralph – Ralph Edward Vierra Tavares (December 10, 1941 – December 8, 2021) Pooch – Arthur Paul Tavares (b. November 12, 1942) Chubby – Antone Lee Tavares (b. June 2, 1944) Butch – Feliciano Vierra Tavares Jr. (b. May 18, 1948) Tiny – Perry Lee Tavares (b. October 23, 1949). |
