Indeed. Formed in Providence, Rhode Island, U.S. by four Tavares brothers after the disbanding of Linda & The Del Rios. Originally named Chubby And The Realities, but changed it after Capitol Records suggestion. They were backed by the musicians of Quinn Harris's Preachers. After some singles at Capitol Records in the late 60's they were renamed Tavares adding their fifth brother Victor Tavares to their line up.
Ooooohhhhh! Hahaha. How cool is that. I'd never heard of this group til I discovered this music months ago on youtube. I suppose I like them no matter what.
KuttyJoe Good EAR, That’s because it IS Tavares. Here is the history of the Tavares Brothers including this incarnation as The Turnpikes from the Rhode Island musical Hall of Fame I just found on the Internet. First heard this tune which brought me here today on Brother Wayne’s Lost and Found show on WMBR.org, today Thursday, September 10, 2020, listening on the web to his Waynesday show yesterday September 9. www.ripopmusic.org/musical-artists/musicians/tavaresturnpikes/
