THIS IS THE TRUE STORY OF

FELICIANO “BUTCH” TAVARES: FROM NUMBER ONE TO NUMBER NONE UNTIL NOW

O Editor’s note:

deteriorated.

ver the past two decades Tavares fans wondered, “What ever happened to them”, and why did they disappear while their number one hit single, “Penny For Your Thoughts” was at the top of the charts with numerous prestigious accolades, not to mention receiving a Grammy? A story of betrayal and control was brewing but never revealed until now. While fans of Tavares worldwide enjoyed the obvious success of the group, Feliciano Tavares, a.k.a. Butch, was in creative limbo.

But Feliciano “Butch” Tavares never displayed what he called a slave mentality. He was committed to moving on once the decision was made to leave Capitol Records, while still at the top of their game. Despite those facts, his decision altered the destiny of one of the most successful groups of the period. The decision to leave created adverse consequences for everyone.

However, “Butch” was never one to be daunted by trials or rest on his laurels.

After writing the title song for their third album “IN THE CITY” it appeared that he was well on his way to becoming the writer and artist. But his philosophical approach didn’t fit the image that the company had in mind for the group. Butch, found himself in a creative funk of sorts and wondered if this was the end of his dream. Tension began to build. He felt his ambition to become that true Artist, not only the singer of songs, but the writer of them as well, were being somewhat ignored. But that was not the only issue.

He felt at the time that the money the group was making was being controlled by management and tried to address the issue, but with no results. In a bold move, he decided to take matters into his own hands. He brought-in his accountant to audit the group’s books. It was intended to bring attention to his concerns, and he wants to be clear. In no way was he suggesting that there was any misappropriation of funds; he just didn’t like the way the money was being handled!

And from that point on, his relationship with management

HIS DECISION TO LEAVE THE LABEL WHILE AT THE HEIGHT OF THEIR SUCCESS DESPITE THE FACT THAT HIS DECISION ALTERED THE DESTINY OF ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL GROUPS OF THAT PERIOD HIS INTEGRITY UNFORTUNATELY MANIFESTED ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES FOR ALL INVOLVED.

Today, he and his brothers Pooch, and Victor, who by the way was the lead singer to their very first hit “Check it Out,” have new and relevant music being played on the airways written and that was produced by Butch and his friends. He is already feeling the love and support of the fans (old and new ) that wondered what in the world happened to Tavares and what is Tavares Now doing? This is the true story of Feliciano “Butch” Tavares: From One To Number None, UNTIL NOW. The group formed from 5 brothers, and achieved an American dream. Erected from Cape Verdean roots, their musical heritage led them to the status as one of the greatest R & B groups of all time. Along the way, they worked with major recording artists such as Jerry Butler and Brenda Lee Eager, as well as Freda Payne, all who had hit records. They worked with top groups including the Temptations, Ike and Tina Turner and the O’Jays, and many others. Their career reached stellar heights during the 70’s and 80’s. They rode the crest of success resulting in 8 singles on Billboard’s Top 40, 12 singles on the R & B Top 10 chart, 3 dance chart hits, 10 hit albums, and won a Grammy for their recording of “More than a Woman.” On the soundtrack of the ‘Saturday Night Fever, ” the movie starring John Travolta, garnered more than 28 million sales, and was recently certified as 15 times Platinum. This led to world tours as headliners, dozens of appearances on major television and radio shows as musical guests, notably on Soul Train hosted by Don Cornelius, and induction into the Cape Verdean heritage Hall of Fame 2006.

By Carmelita Pittman After such an impressive record, and after two decades their fans have wondered why did they disappear?

According to Butch, there were a collection of circumstances that explains what happened. As he recalls, when he and his brothers were first introduced to Capitol Records they were given a tour of the building. Many stars such as Frank Sinatra, and of course, the Beetles had a floor named after them. Yet, the very recording artist most responsible for that building being built, namely Nat King Cole, an extremely talented singer and musician of African descent, remained noticeably missing from the roster. Outspoken, Butch was quick to ask, “Where is the floor named after Nat King Cole?” This

HOLLYWOOD WEEKLY 21

got their record executives attention, all while at the height of their success. Although his decision altered the destiny of one of the most successful groups of that period, his integrity, unfortunately, created adverse consequences.

The group decided to follow his lead and eventually signed with R.C.A Records. The group rose to the occasion hitting the charts running with their first number one single called “Deeper In Love” from the album appropriately called “New Directions.” Written and produced by Leon Sylvers from the popular family group called “The Sylvers” it featured Butch on lead vocals. The follow up song was called “Penny For Your Thoughts.” It was written by Kenny Nolan and produced by J. Center with Butch and his brother Pooch commandingly singing the lead vocals. It was nominated for a Grammy.

And just when you thought that it couldn’t get any better the company released their third chart topping single entitled “Words And Music.” The group also expanded their horizons releasing their first video.

So with all the success the group was enjoying, Butch couldn’t see any reason not to approach the label regarding his music as he as almost certain that his destiny had finally arrived, but

PHOTO: MADDOG PHOTOGRAPHY

But Butch is not the type of individual to be put in a box, and another situation emerged along the way. Although the other brothers were content with receiving a weekly per diem he wasn’t. Butch didn’t like the way the money was being handled. He wanted it known, as far as he was concerned, he didn’t need anyone to handle his affairs. After he finished a show, like in the past, he wanted his share of the profits like before they had management. But to his dismay, nothing changed. So, in a bold move, he took matters into his own hands and brought in an accountant to examine the books.

Unfortunately, there were executives at the record label who took offense, but Butch didn’t care. He wasn’t suggesting that there had been any misappropriation of funds, only that he didn’t like the way the things were being handled. He informed management that he didn’t want a partnership and that he was totally capable of handling his financial affairs, but again no change. Butch demanded his money! But to no avail.

Butch then informed the group that he was leaving Capitol, because of the unresolved issues. He didn’t see the opportunity for growth musically and that to him was unacceptable.

HIS DECISION TO LEAVE THE LABEL WHILE AT THE HEIGHT OF THEIR SUCCESS DESPITE THE FACT THAT HIS DECISION ALTERED THE DESTINY OF ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL GROUPS OF THAT PERIOD HIS INTEGRITY UNFORTUNATELY MANIFESTED ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES 22 HOLLYWOOD WEEKLY

him from further success, by those with their own agenda.

He questioned, “was it because he and his brother Pooch sang lead and management weren’t exactly seeing eye to eye?

Perhaps if their song crossed-over it would have given Butch too much power considering the internal struggle that was going on? Perhaps the label was not ready for him to achieve the recognition that had been bestowed to Hall and Oates?

“With that success I then approached the gentleman, and I use the word “loosely,” that was the head of A & R, to listen to what I was writing. I was very confident that I was finally going to realize my long awaited dream. But to put it bluntly, he said that he did not want to hear music that I had written. I should be satisfied with our current success. Then I reminded him of the deal that we struck from the inception and he said, “WELL, I LIED. I should have put it in writing. I don’t want to hear it.” With that being said, Butch restrained himself, and stormed out. Butch told him “If God keeps me alive you’ll hear from me again”, as he left.

“Who leaves with 3 number 1 hits? You have to believe in something higher than yourself.” He placed his faith in the higher power most of us call God. He did not know where his actions would lead to but his beliefs were not to be compromised. However noble that was, it led to his brothers being dismissed from R.C.A., as well.

it wasn’t to be. Butch, however, is never being one to shrink in the face of adversity and he continued to dream. He also wondered how their hit, “She’s Gone” written by Daryl Hall & John Oates from their album, “Abandoned Luncheonette” released in 1973 but covered by Tavares in 1974, suspiciously did not cross over to the pop charts! Hall and Oates, seeing Tavares’s failed attempt to cross over, enjoyed much more than success, and they become pop icons. He thought perhaps his militant stance speaking out on issues of the day involving social and political consciousness might have prevented the

Yet Butch recalls early memories of being favored as a youngster with his brother Ralph and Pooch which drew envy from some of his siblings. He references Joseph and the coat of many color’s from the Biblical story. In the Biblical story the brothers were envious and deceived Joseph and sold him into slavery, yet he rose to the most prominent position in Egypt and actually rescued his brothers and family from the famine. His father, who loved him rejoiced after reuniting with him and the brothers, were forgiven and blessed with land and wealth. He talks of his youth and his unfair treatment of one of his brothers. After his admittance of wrong doing to that brother, the two brothers resolved their issues. They are now working together and both are actually involved with the new music that’s out now. He and Pooch expressed their support for their brother. “After almost losing Pooch to an serious illness a few years ago, it makes it even more gratifying to be able to have him still with us. I’m feeling so blessed to sing and share another lead vocal with him. It means the world to me.” Pooch and Victor signed to Butch’s newly formed Record Label called “Ear Candy Record Label. Feliciano “Flash” Tavares, is a father of the 7 boys, John, Ralph, Arthur (“Pooch), Antone,( ‘Chubby”), Victor , Perry Lee (“Tiny”) and Feliciano Jr. Although Butch left the R.C.A. label he is now back on the scene forming the New Tavares with his two brothers, Arthur “Pooch” and Victor. Having been on the roller coaster of life, he stayed true to his childhood dreams and belief in God. He says,” a true artist is one who sometimes eats chicken, but HOLLYWOOD WEEKLY 23

ONE OF HIS SONGS IS: Ghetto Prince Me Born one of 10 me Roughneck boy I see Came up in the Hood Always tried to be good For a friend shed a tear Walked the streets with no fear For a friend I would die in the truth there’s no lie,

sometimes he has to eat the feathers.” The new song on the Ear Candy label which he founded is entitled “I’m in Heaven 24/ 7.” The first time it was performed on stage he and his brothers received a standing ovation At first, the audience was hungry for familiar hits and when Butch started talking about new music the audience started to boo. Butch responded by saying, “ we’ll start to sing the song and if you don’t like it we’ll stop and sing any song you want to hear.”

ABOUT FENCES

roy Maxson (Denzel Washington) makes his living as a sanitation worker in 1950s Pittsburgh. Maxson once dreamed of becoming a professional baseball player, but was deemed too old when the major leagues began admitting black athletes. Bitter over his missed opportunity, Troy creates further tension in his family when he squashes his son’s (Jovan Adepo) chance to meet a college football recruiter.

“Being trusted by a director like Denzel inspired us to do our best work. We just couldn’t stay away from the set and the magical work Mr. Washington was doing.”

Jovan Adepo

Constanza Romero

“One of the reasons that this is so perfect is because August [Wilson] had written the screenplay for this movie, and of course, it took forever to make it.

Sometimes I think that it was just waiting for Denzel.”

AMERICA’S LARGEST ANIMAL CIRCUS CLOSES AFTER 146 YEARS, ADI CALLS ON ALL CIRCUSES TO END WILD ANIMAL ACTS America’s largest animal circus closes after 146 years, ADI calls on all circuses to end wild animal acts Animal Defenders International (ADI) has welcomed the announcement by Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus to close its animal shows from May, citing declines in ticket sales after earlier announcing a ‘mood shift’ among their consumers .After decades of exposing the cramped, barren conditions with long periods of time tied up and chained with no freedom of movement and a brutal training culture, ADI believes that public opinion has ended the suffering.

Modern audiences now have many entertainment options and do not want to see shows where animals are made to suffer for a few minutes of entertainment.

Jan Creamer, ADI President, said: “After decades of exposing the suffering of animals in circuses behind the scenes, we are pleased to hear that Ringlings has finally bowed to public opinion – it was a mistake for them not to see the trend away from animal shows to human-only performances over a decade ago. Circuses can survive without the animal performances.”

Studies of the use of wild animals in traveling circuses show that in the circumstances of a traveling show, circuses cannot meet the needs of wild animals. Animals are confined in small spaces, deprived of physical and social needs, spending excessive amounts of time tied or chained up, shut in transporters and unable to move around.The abnormal, stereotypical behaviors seen in circus animals, rocking, swaying and pacing, indicate that they are under stress and not coping with their environment. ADI’s video evidence has shown how these animals are forced to perform tricks through physical violence, fear and intimidation.

ADI has led the campaign to expose the suffering and educate the public around the world, providing video evidence, prosecutions and expert reviews. 34 nations have reviewed the evidence and taken action to end traveling circus performances. Across 27 states in the US, 66 jurisdictions have already decided to either ban or restrict the use of wild animals in traveling shows, due to concerns about public safety and animal welfare.

ADI is supporting Representatives Ryan Costello (R-PA) and Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), who launched Traveling Exotic Animal and Public Safety Protection Act (TEAPSPA) in Congress last November. The congressmen have concluded that ending wild animal use is the only practical approach to deal with public safety issues and inspection and oversight problems repeatedly cited by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG).

ADI is active worldwide to end the suffering of captive animals in commercial use: animals used in entertainment – film, television, advertising, circuses and sport or leisure such as hunting or for products such as food or fur. Replacement of animals in scientific research; funding and promotion of non-animal advanced methods.

ADI investigates, produces evidence and reports on the scientific, legal and economic issues for each case study, recommending solutions. Information is distributed to the media, public and officials. Where ADI’s evidence has been a catalyst for change, we collaborate with governments to conduct large scale seizures or rescues of wild animals in captivity and relocate them to forever homes – back to their natural habitat wherever possible worldwide movement to end use of wild animals in traveling shows.
