The five-brother singing group Tavares may be best known for such up-tempo hits as the million-selling single "Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel," "More Than a Woman," and "Whodunit," but they first came to national attention with the luscious ballad "Check It Out." Their crisp vocalizing and clean-cut, young-men-next-door image made them favorites on TV shows starring Johnny Carson, Mike Douglas, and Dick Clark's American Bandstand. In 1974, Tavares also had the first hit version (number one R&B) of "She's Gone" written by the then relative unknown duo of Daryl Hall and John Oates. Hall & Oates scored a number seven pop hit with the song in 1976. The Tavares brothers â€” Arthur Tavares, Ralph Vierra Tavares, Perry Lee Tavares, Antone Tavares, and Feliciano Tavares nicknamed "Pooch," "Tiny," "Chubby," and "Butch" â€” started the group in 1964 as Chubby and the Turnpikes in New Bedford, MA. Their grandparents taught them traditional Cape Verde folk songs, while their older brother John schooled them on doo wop singing.

It Only Take A Minute Lyrics

Tavares

Ah, ha
Yeah, yeah
Ah, ha, yeah
Once an hour of the day
We threw at least fun away
Walk the streets half a year
Tryin' to find a new career
Now if you get a flu attack
For 30 days you're on your back
Through the night I've seen you dance
Baby, give me half a chance
It only talk a minute, girl
To fall in love, to fall in love
It only talk a minute, girl
To fall in love, let's fall in love
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Now in the unemployment lines
You can spend your life readin' signs
Waitin' for your interview
They can shoot the whole day for you, yeah
Now winter's gonna turn to spring
And you haven't accomplished a thing [Haven't accomplished a thing]
So baby, leave a little time
'Cause you never know what's on my mind, yeah
It only talk a minute, girl
To fall in love, to fall in love
It only talk a minute, girl, yeah
To fall in love, let's fall in love
Will you find yourself a few minutes [Fall in love]
Will you wanna fry yourself an egg [Fall in love]
Now you spare a few second, girl [Fall in love]
When you se, when you see a man beg [Fall in love]
Now he takes on time [Fall in love]
To go down to the corner store [Fall in love]
Well, what I've got in mind [Fall in love]
Give me 60 seconds, no more [Fall in love], oh
It only talk a minute, girl, baby
To fall in love, to fall in love
It only talk a minute, girl [Girl]
To fall in love, let's fall in love
Bom, bom, bom, bom, fall in love
Bom, bom, bom, bom, fall in love
Bom, bom, bom, bom, fall in love
Bom, bom, bom, bom, fall in love
Bom, bom, bom, bom, fall in love
Bom, bom, bom, bom, fall in love
Ooh, only talk a minute, girl, baby
To fall in love, to fall in love
It only talk a minute, girl
To fall in love, let's fall in love
Only talk a minute, girl (To fall, to fall) [Baby]
To fall in love (Yeah), fall in love
It only talk a minute, girl [Girl] (Come on now)
Fall in love, let's fall in love
