Chris GoldenHOST
Two in a row on Golden Oldies.
Chris GoldenHOST
The first was Tavares, Five Brothers.
Chris GoldenHOST
Yeah, Five Brothers are Tavares.
Chris GoldenHOST
They were originally called, uh, Chubby and the Turnpikes when [laughs] they started in 1964.
Chris GoldenHOST
I wonder who Chubby was.
XDHOST
And it's a lovely message as well.
XDHOST
And that would be Tavares, I believe is how you say the group's name.

Tony KirilukHOST
I would put the band Tavares solidly into the soul category for the majority of their career and also for the majority of their 1978 album called Future Bound.
Tony KirilukHOST
This was the sixth album of this band's career, but there's also no doubt that Tavares felt perfectly happy to throw on straight-up disco songs on each of their three albums from 76 through 78.
Tony KirilukHOST
And Future Bound is best known for their cover of the Bee Gees song More Than a Woman.
Tony KirilukHOST
Both the Bee Gees and the Tavares versions of this song both appear on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.
Tony KirilukHOST
But it is the Tavares one that Kott actually released as a single in America, and it went to number 32 on the pop charts.
Tony KirilukHOST
Tavares also placed their version of More Than a Woman onto the Future Bound album, hoping to enhance the sales of their own personal release.
Tony KirilukHOST
The Tavares version of More Than a Woman also crossed over to go to number seven in the UK.
ChristyHOST
More disco music coming up.
ChristyHOST

Joe MardinGUEST
When She's Gone became a hit, it was after they left the label and Sarah Smile became a hit and Atlantic re-released She's Gone.
Joe MardinGUEST
And the song was covered by Tavares and all these people.
Joe MardinGUEST
She's Gone has a fascinating journey.
Joe MardinGUEST
Yeah.
