Product Review

Digitally re-mastered and expanded edition. Following the success of their best-selling album for Capitol records, Sky High, the Tavares brothers (Ralph, Tiny, Pooch, Chubby and Butch) reunited with that LP's producer, (former Motown staffer) Freddie Perren for their 1977 set, Love Storm. The New Bedford, Massachusetts-based family quintet had been building a solid audience for themselves after signing with Capitol in 1972: after initial success as R&B hit-makers, Tavares began reaching mainstream record buyers in the US with their second and third albums.
