On July 11, 1976 Tavares leapt from #39 to #23 on the UK Charts as their disco single "Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel" climbed to its eventual UK #4 peak. The single stalled at #15 on the US charts but hit #1 on the US dance floors and in the Netherlands. 

The curiously titled Roussos Phenomenon EP was the #1 single in the UK, thanks to "Forever and Ever", a song that shared its title with another 1976 UK #1 hit by Midge Ure led Slik.

  The brothers Tavares would top both the R and B charts and the disco charts with "It Only Takes A Minute", one of the most memorable US hits of the Summer of '75. Fun fact: in an earlier incarnation as Chubby and the Turnpikes, the New Bedford, MA band had future Aerosmith member Joey Kramer playing drums. 

  One of the best things about Tavares was their stage act. That came courtesy of the legendary Motown choreographer Cholly Atkins who also taught The Temptations, The Supremes and The O'Jays their dance steps.
