The Tavares Brothers should be in. Definitely. But , sadly, given the "Hallowed Hall's" shameful snubbing of classic R&B artists in recent years, don't hold your breath.

*****TAVARES*****

These 5 brothers have charted internationally, with hit singles in the UK, Australia,Canada,and The Netherlands, as well as in the U.S., where they've had some 27 Pop and R&B Chart hits. They've also had numerous hit albums as well.

When Hall & Oates originally released their song "She's Gone", it flopped. It took Tavares to finally make the song a hit,outcharting H&O's original and becoming a #1 national R&B Hit to boot ....it's success prompted H&O and Atlantic Records to re-release THEIR version of the song ...where it then finally became a Top 10 hit.

Believe me, Bill, I'd rather see Tavares getting in this year than H&O. By far.

Roy,

Yes, Tavares, great band, more R&B than disco, with a few cool hits in the mid to late 70's. Scored a #10 on Billboard Hot 100 with "It Only Takes a Minute", and a #25 with "Remember What I Told You to Forget"/"My Ship", both in 1975. Had the #15 hit, "Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel", and a #34,"Don't Take Away the Music" in 1976. "More Than a Woman"#32, and "Whodunit" at #22, charted in 1977. All are excellent tunes. Total, they had 12 Top 10 Billboard R&B chart hits, with 3 of them reaching #1.

Tavares should be in rock and roll hall of fame

Today is my birthday and I have been listening to Tavares all day long. They should also do an unsung of them. They made the best songs.
