Don't take away the music - Tavares

Five Cape Verdean-American brothers from New Bedford, Massachusetts formed Tavares in 1973. They were Ralph, Arthur, Antone, Feliciano and Perry Lee Tavares. In 1976/1977 they had three memorable disco hits, 'Heaven must be missing an angel', 'Don't take away the music' and 'Whodunit'.

'Don't take away the music' peaked at number 4 in the UK singles chart and number 3 in the Dutch Top 40. In 1984, Ralph Tavares stepped down from the group, and Tiny left in the mid 1990s, but the other three brothers continue to tour.

Found: August 9, 1997
Cost: 1 guilder
Tracks: 'Don't take away the music (part 1)' / 'Don't take away the music (part 2)'
