Z Cult Favorite/Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel - Tavares r

From 1976, what a simply great song. Always reminded me of Charlie's Angels with Farrah for some reason. Who else digs it?

Farrah??..lol..Yeah I can see a young 1977 Farrah shakin' her famous hairdo back in forth for a "Prell" shampoo commercial w/ that song playing in the background. Great tune and fantastic harmonies. These cats knew how to sing AND step. You're taking me back to the "American Bandstand" days when they used to play this song (lol)....On a side note, wasn't Butch Tavares married to Lola Falana?

Great song. I think about "Charlie's Angels" when I hear this song also.

'Tis a classic. They also had a cool live show. Speaking of Tavares, here's a song of theirs from the '80s - I think it's called "Words and Music". I just remember it having a cool falsetto part.

Which version of "She's Gone" is your fave? Theirs or Hall & Oates?

You're correct.

I had front row seats for a Lola Falana show at The Aladdin in Vegas some years ago.

2 interesting notes...
1) The bass player in the show was Francis Rocco Prestia (Tower of Power). eek
2) She split her spandex pants (in the crotch area redface) right in front of me. cool

I listed this song as one of my favorite disco jams.It's from Tavares' excellent 'Sky High' album,produced by Freddie Perren.I have it on vinyl.

I'm captured by your spell
you're a different girl,I can tell
when you're laying on my pillow,baby
above your pretty head,there's a halo
that's why I know
heaven must be missing an angel



music man,1976 was such an INCREDIBLE year for music!!

I remember the song "Words And Music".It's from 1983.

you are the words...you are the music

Tavares' version of "She's Gone" is wonderful,but I like Hall and Oates' original version just as much,so let's call it a tie lol

That's my song! I always envision rollerskating or ice skating to it.

There was a commercial in the 1980s on a local television station that was advertising the time that the reruns for "Charlie's Angels" came on. "Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel" was playing in the background. biggrin
