Aww, see! There you go!!! I'm in love with THAT song too! MY Gosh! If only artists' from the new school would put it down like that, radio wouldn't be going through such a dry spell. Rushes to youtube to see if I can find THAT one and hopefully, upload it! But, I'll try this one.

Dammit! It won't upload! But, I'm so feeling TAVARES right now.
They're such an underrated group, it's damn near a crime! Folks that don't know about them are truly missin' out!

My mom raised me well on music. Look like u know the good stuff.

I also think their version of She's Gone is miles ahead of Hall&Oates sappy version

paisleypark4 said:

Aww, let me tell you I just got through listening to that jam. And, yes! I love TAVARES version allot, lot more! I would post it to share it's beauty with the org, but I'm afraid it won't upload.
Your mother taught you well about music!

hear me out now (hear me out now)
I wanna make it as clear as I can

DawnD said:

You're referring to their 1983 single "Words and Music" and you're right....when I first heard the chorus of "We Are The World",I instanly remembered the Tavares song! Is that where Michael and Lionel got the inspiration from?

Ooh, the one on the far left has such a devine and heavenly voice! Though, they all sound wonderful! His (the one on the far left) stands out more to me.

SoulAlive said:

You know, my mother and I wondered the same thing. Excellent question!

SoulAlive said:

Thank you soul alive, you the man.

chewwsey said:

"Bad Times" this song has an Earth Wind and Fire vibe to it.

SoulAlive said:

you know what? you are right. I have a nice jazz version of this song. It also reminds me of a couple of songs from some doo wop groups from back then.

I like that song,too.It was one of their last big hits.

Hey SoulAlive, since you own all their records, any recommendations?
I love both 'Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel' and 'More Than A Woman'.
I also checked out 'Whodunit' on Youtube and loved it too.
These are songs from their 'disco years', but I'm also interested in hearing their pre-disco soul material, since that's what the group was really about, right?
