Tavares

The five-brother singing group Tavares may be best known for such uptempo hits as the million-selling single "Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel," "More Than a Woman," and "Whodunit," but they first came to national attention with the luscious ballad "Check It Out." Their crisp vocalizing and clean-cut, boy-next-door image made them favorites on Johnny Carson's and Mike Douglas' talk shows, and on Dick Clark's American Bandstand. In 1974, Tavares also had the first hit version (number one R&B) of "She's Gone," written by the then relatively unknown duo of Daryl Hall and John Oates. Hall & Oates scored a number seven pop hit with the song in 1976.
