Tavares (group)
Tavares (also known as The Tavares Brothers) is an American R&B and soul music group composed of five Cape Verdean-American brothers. Some were born in New Bedford, Massachusetts, and Providence, Rhode Island, and they would move back and forth between the two cities throughout their childhood. They are best known for their 1976 hit " Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel". History The brothers, whose parents were of Cape Verdean descent, started performing in 1959 as Chubby and the Turnpikes when the youngest brother was nine years old. P-Funk keyboardist/architect Bernie Worrell briefly joined the group in 1968, while attending the New England Conservatory of Music. Future Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer appeared as the drummer with the group in a later incarnation called The Turnpikes from the fall of 1969 until September 1970, when he was invited to join Steven Tyler's band. He was later replaced with drummer Paul Klodner and bassist Steve Strout, which gave them a tight, punch ...

Boyband
A boy band is a vocal group consisting of young male singers, usually in their teenage years or in their twenties at the time of formation. Generally, boy bands perform love songs marketed towards girls and young women. Many boy bands dance as well as sing, usually giving highly choreographed performances. South Korean boy bands usually also have designated rappers. Most boy band members do not play musical instruments, either in recording sessions or on stage. They are similar in concept to their counterparts known as girl groups. Some boy bands are formed on their own, but most are created by talent managers or record producers who hold auditions. The popularity of boy bands has peaked three times: first in the 1960s to '70s, with e.g. the Jackson 5 and the Osmonds; the second time during the late 1980s, the 1990s and the 2000s, when acts such as New Kids on the Block, Take That, Backstreet Boys, Boyzone, NSYNC, Five, Westlife and Blue dominated global pop charts; and the ...

Once You've Tasted Love
"Once You've Tasted Love" is a dance song by boy band Take That. Written by Gary Barlow and produced by Duncan Bridgeman, "Once You've Tasted Love" was released on 27 January 1992 as the third single from the band's debut album, '' Take That & Party'' (1992). It peaked at number 47 on the UK Singles Chart. Critical reception ''Music Week'' wrote, "Irrespressibly bouncy with a sheen borrowed from PWL, it's actually a fairly decent song, but it tries a little too hard to steer a middle course between being a pop record and being a dance record, so could fail to realise its full potential. A tighter mix, geared in either direction, could do the trick." Simon Williams from ''NME'' said, "The synth-mungous likes of 'Once You've Tasted Love' and 'Promises' are amiably crass hi-NRG rompalongs, sort of Kajagoogoo gone Italian House." Music video The music video for the song was shot on a low budget in a warehouse. The band is shown performing the song against a white backdrop. Track ...
