Greatest Hits by Tavares - DeepRiffs

COMPILATION

The Dutch collection The Best of Tavares more or less lives up to its name, gathering 16 examples of the group's funk/disco sound, including "It Only Takes a Minute," "Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel," "More Than a Woman," "Never Had a Love Like This Before," and "She's Gone." This compilation has a virtually identical (though reshuffled) track listing to Capitol Gold: The Best of Tavares, so it may not be of much interest to American Tavares fans, but nevertheless, this is a strong collection of hits and album tracks.
