BAND MEMBERS



BIOGRAPHY

Originally named Chubby and the Turnpikes, they started performing in 1963 , when the youngest brother was only nine years old. By 1973 they signed with Capitol Records , and soon began charting regularly on the R&B and Pop charts. Hit songs include "It Only Takes a Minute" ( 1986 ); "Don't Take Away My Music" ( 1976 ); "The Ghost of Love" ( 1977 ); "Whodunit" ( 1977 ) and "Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel" ( 1976 ). Their popularity ebbed with the fading Disco scene by the early 1980s.

In 1983 , Ralph Tavares stepped down from the group, and Tiny left in the mid 1990s, but the other three brothers continue to tour.

Their hit song "It Only Takes a Minute" is featured in the soundtrack of Konami 's dancing game Dance Dance Revolution 3rd Mix .
