Feliciano (Butch), Perry Lee (Tiny), Victor, Antone (Chubby), Arthur (Pooch) i Ralph Tavares tenien els seus orígens familiars a Cap Verd, i van aprendre les seves primeres nocions musicals del seu pare, Feliciano (Flash) Tavares i la seva mare Albina Gomes, que van formar part de l'emigració de Portugal i Cap Verd a les zones pesqueres de Nova Anglaterra.
Flash Tavares va fusionar la música tradicional de Cap Verd i alguns ritmes nord americans, creant un estil propi. Albina Gomes era cantant en bandes importants de la regió, d'estil jazzístic o llatí. La música era ben present a la llar del set germans Tavares, que ben aviat van crear diversos grups (The Del Rios, The Tunrpikes, etc.), fins que l'any 1972 van enregistrar el primer single com a Tavares, per Capitol Records, que contenia Check It Out i The Judgment Day. Va arribar al número 5 de la llista de R&B.
Però al llarg de la dècada del 1970 els estils musicals procedents de la població negra nord americana es popularitzaren en tots els sectors de la població i arreu del món, raó per la qual els grups afroamericans van poder fer el salt a les llistes d'èxits generals. La irrupció de música per ballar a partir de 1974 va oferir un espai musical que la banda va saber aprofitar.
L'impuls definitiu va ser quan Freddie Perren va deixar la Motown després de compondre pels Jackson 5, i el 1976 va arribar a la discogràfica Capitol i es va fer càrrec dels Tavares, pels que va fer els seus dos primers números 1 de les llistes de música de ball, Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel i Don't Take Away The Music. L'any següent (1977) van incloure la seva cançó More than a woman a la BSO de Saturday Night Fever.
