It Only Takes a Minute: A Lifetime with Tavares

Lyrics from It Only Takes a Minute: A Lifetime with Tavares
All Music Guide Review
A mix of singles and album tracks from 1974-1980 that leaves off several hits ("More than a Woman," and for instance, is missing) in favor of some lesser-known tracks, although hits like "Remember What I Told You to Forget, " "Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel, " and "Bad Times" are here. The 1977 Best Of collection is still probably the best investment for a greatest-hits set, though this has a number of different songs. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide
