- Tavares (also known as The Tavares Brothers) are a successful American R&B, funk and soul music group, composed of five Cape Verdean-American brothers from New Bedford, Massachusetts.
More Than a Woman song information:
'More Than a Woman' is a disco song written by the Bee Gees (credited to Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb for the soundtrack to the film Saturday Night Fever.
The soundtrack includes two versions -- one by the Bee Gees and the other by Tavares. Both versions are featured in the film as well. The song has also been done by various artists but in different forms. The Bee Gees did not release this song as a single (though in Italy it was a Top 10 hit), yet it has remained a staple on radio and one of their best known songs.
An abridged live version of the song performed by the Bee Gees is available on both the DVD and CD versions of One Night Only. The performance is from 1997.
The song has also been included on Bee Gees compilations such as Tales from the Brothers Gibb and Their Greatest Hits: The Record. The very first UK pressings of Their Greatest Hits: The Record featured the song with a mastering fault, with the audio noticeably dipping to the right briefly during the first verse. This was corrected after several thousand copies had been distributed.
British boy band 911 covered the song in 1998. Their version reaching number two on the UK Singles Chart.
An acapella style version of song is sung by the Jonas Brothers in the film Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian where they portray cherubs.
Hong Kong band, RubberBand, covered the song in their 2011 album, Dedicated to.... This was the first time RubberBand released an English track.
Not hating on the Bee Gees version but this version is my favorite. This is a great example of how the same song can be interpreted and performed.
Kudos to the Bee Gees for including this version on the soundtrack.
I think you mean stolen and white washed
@@niamcfoy1662 the bee gees wrote the song and included the tavares version on the mega hit soundtrack.
I like this and Yvonne elliman the best I don't like bee gees too much
I love this version better than The Bee Gees version.
THE TAVARES VERSION IS THE BEST❤
Chubby Tavares sings with his golden voice.
Tavares's version won a Grammy Award.
which one was "Chubby?" EDIT: ok he's the guy who resembles the mom. Its funny how there is the really OLD looking one in glasses, probably the oldest, then the others all pretty-much look alike. Are they all still with us? LOVE this New England Quintet!
@@Jgeneraledger23I didn't know that they were from New England. Thanks for the info.
Such an underrated group
I don't think....they were very successfull
Wasn't it always thus? I loved them though and still enjoy listening to their tunes. I bought Heaven must be missing an Angel with my pocket money in the 70s ❤

I don't think Tavares ever got the credit they deserve ...
Jim mallan exactly!!!! Tavares is as good or great as their is in genaeral!!! I seen them live 3 times they were always dynamite!!!! Bad Boston boys, me Brooklynboy!!! When their was one baby!!! Later!!🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🐘🐼🐬🐕🐳🐖🐅🐄🐻
Totally agree!!! They were/are absolutely terrific! What great memories they bring back. Some of the best music ever!
You havent figured out why? Because it was black group. Sorry let the truth be told. A white group selling 'soul' was more profitable than a black group. Still is today. It is called culture vultures! I dont care if the Bee Gee composed the original track, the sound was soul which influenced disco.
Celia Smith amen sis. It’s a damn shame. Elvis was a prime example. He even said it himself “all I have to do I sound and dance like a black man, and I’ll be rich and famous.” And he stole from little Richard and others.
Brov/Sis you don't happen to be related to the Tavares family? hence your name lol?
They truely deserve much more credit than they really do !!!!!!!
Tavares. Marcou. Minha. Infância. Eu. Era. Feliz. E. Não sabia. Bela. Nostalgia. ❤. Felicidades

Yesss.
Me too!
The flute riff gets me everytime.
It is Beautiful!
Bee Gees AND Tavares fucking nailed it with this song, love both versions the same amount for different reasons.
Oh, the memories… I was the DJ at our local skating rink back in high school in the 70’s, and this song is one of several that take me right back to that time. Love it!
Wonder years
Why did it have to end ?
Bela pergunta, eu também gostaria de saber, pois que bom seria se não acabasse.
R.I.P Arthur Pooch Tavares who sung this song way better than the Bee Gees. Condolences to his family and close friends. Luv you forever❤❤❤ 💐 💛
I agree. Pooch was better. Politics. Thank goodness they played Tavares' version during the key moment of SNF when Tony danced with Stephanie in the dance studio and realized he had a crush on her. They're from Springfield, Ma. and saw them perform live several times in the Latham, NY area. Never a bad performance.
@theearl1477
You are so lucky to attend their concerts. I just wished I've seen other artists than the Whispers, Ray Goodman and Brown and the O'Jays. I never went to see anybody else. Tavares is one of the greatest Soul groups in the music industry. Thanks for sharing your comment. 😊
Their music never gets old ❤️
best song and version on the whole album...yes.. an album.....
I love both versions,
But the Tavares added a
little more soul.
chris wright i think I read Bee Gees wrote this for Tavares but they recorded their own version slower for the movie.. but Tavares was in their minds when it was written. Great stuff
True
tavares version of this song i prefer but it's true ,the disco era wouldn't be complete without the bee gees.
A little more..? A whole...
@@peterpagliaro1835 i disagree, the Bee Gees jumped on the disco bandwagon tears years after disco ecploded. Luckely for them it worked
The Tavares - My dad's cousins. I remember listening to them when they first started. Back in the 8-track days. We'd listen to them over and over again.
Sad day today after hearing that Ralph passed, his legacy will live on forever in his music. Thanks for the memories.
2 versions of this song that are just amazing....take your pick they are both awesome in their own way
It's the flavor of the opportunity zoom meeting video games or something like the mountain to be surprised how much do you charge for the decimals for the opportunity
Your right both versions are awesome I can't separate them both versions are equal to each other
Nah Tavares version hands down
The Bee Gees knew that. Their version (along with their version of If I Can't Have You) was never released as a single for that reason.
agree!
Another member has passed recently. Just wanted to shout out to the brothers your music will be with us always. Heartfelt thanks
I was born in 1993, I so wish I had been alive in the 70's, music was amazing and life seemed so good and free
It was❤
TRULY IT WAS THE MUSIC STAY IN YOUR SOUL A LIFETIME 👀
It was a great time to be a kid & a teen. Bygone era.
It was definitely
Listening to this classic, there is an ache and longing for my youth...
What true words you have written... 😪
For years this was my favorite version.
And it is still mine fav
I never get tired of this song.....I swear it is timeless!!
I don’t know how old you are IAm 62 this year it’s because it’s home school in the 70s my brother best music in the world 😢😅😊👏
This song will never fade away, it's sure pure, such a piece of excellence.
Ditto for Saturday night fever the movie
Love Tavares and The Bee Gees; what an excellent collaboration !
I remember dancing to this back in 1980! Man.... Where has the time gone?
Can’t wait to jam this at my reception 🍾🔥🥰🥰🤴🏾👸🏽💍💍💕🤍🤍💕💕
Real Shiiii😂😅
This is one of those times that I would say both versions are the winners!
That badass bass guitar... I've played guitar for 37 years, but this is one bass guitar, I've made it my business to learn, above all others; next to Lenny Kravitz's "Believe," and Elvis Presley's "The Wonder Of You."
Tavares 1 one of the best 70s singing groups ever from my husband's home city new Bedford mass
This is the version I grew up with. I love it so much! So nostalgic!
I was 4 years old when my father listen to these songs. And I discovered "Disco Mudic" and Tavares!🙎🏻♂️
@@chiefxx8259 You are right!👌🏼
Que saudade, tinha 17 anos, hoje estou com 63.
Best version. Bee Gees sang it with squeaky voices...they sounded more like a woman.
Да, Барри слишком много использовал фальцет. Это вредило звучанию некоторых песен и, в конечном итоге, Барри фальцетом испортил свой прекрасный натуральный голос😢! Очень жаль!
It's very rare for me to like a cover, but this is one of those exceptions where it surpasses the original 👍👍👍👍
This is real music !
Real Music exactly💯
Que recuerdos😍❤️
Yeah
Barry gib es el compositor osea es de los bee gees
@@AnimeMixKissOficial es por eso que en película de Jhon Travolta la tocaron los Bee Gees?
Maybe one of the better love songs ever!
Tavares are a gifted disco group.
More than a woman phenomenal.
Tavares version is the best.
Hab's zuerst in einer englischen Kaserne gehört . Als ich völlig verkatert nach einem tollen Besäufnis wach wurde und es i jemand auf voller Lautstärke hörte .
Ich war begeistert ❤
I love both versions. The harmony is great.
They both are great and memorable. I love each equally.
I like Taveres's version better.....It's got more feeling & soul added to it! ;)
+Wade Torres, I agree with you up to a point. Tavares's version is better because it has more feeling, soul, and energy to it, but the BeeGees's version is better because its more of a romantic song and really puts one in the mood. But, that's my humble opinion. :)
Me too. It's not so nasally. 🤓
To me they are so wonderfully different that it's like 2 different songs so i never look to compare them. Both Just great!
MrAitraining That's a great thing to say. Never saw it like that. They are like two different songs and it is hard to compare them. I love them both, but it is refreshing to see another way of looking at them.
The Bee Gees have obnoxious voices that is hard to tolerate but the production of "More Than A Woman" in the Bee Gees is better. It has a better String section and they have congas with a Rhodes piano adding a more interesting harmony.
I remember when I was about 7, The Tavares came to Philly and they visited WDAS. They were taking phone calls and requests. My cousin managed to get through and put me on the phone to talk to them. They couldn't believe how old I was. I requested this song and they dedicated the song to me. Memories. One of the greatest groups of all time.💖💖
Face to face romance. No computers or dating sites. Good old days of discos and bad aftershave 😁
Exactly. Actually had to have some game for in person meetings. Duh are people today
Tavares Version Rocked
Love this version!! Bee Gees are good, but this is the best version with more Soul and smooth harmonies!!
I agree a little more so a little more Harmony and a great band amazing band.
POR DIOS QUE MÚSICA,NUNCA MÁS SE REPETIRAN ESAS DECADAS,CON ESA MÚSICA QUE TE HACE VOLAR
A fabulous group of "brothers"
It is very difficult to choose, I just love them both
It certainly is
It's a tough call
Don't choose. Love them both. Two different styles from two talented groups.
david henson No. Happens. Happens.
Absolutely
Full of energy. Even that last fading out "Yeaahh.."
Simply put, this song is BEAUTIFUL. P-E-R-F-E-C-T-I-O-N. Always makes me HAPPY whenever I hear it.
Man i remember my uncles would listen to this song while getting ready for the disco clubs, man i wish i could have been old enough to join them in that era
I do this actually. Lol
you miss a good time ray
My maiden name is Gomez, however my Grandfather was Filipino. I am Spanish and Puerto Rican on my Mom's side. Born in Brooklyn...drove by 2001 Oddesey, "Do the Hussle"...
At 63 I still do some DJ-ing, but always retro stuff - not the excuse for music in the current charts. I have done some mixes for a local venue and have been surprised - not by those of my generation who are pleased to hear it all again, but by millennials who have said how they are loving it, and how much it beats today's stuff, with its autotune "voices" and electronically enhanced tracks by people who might look very pretty, but have little talent. Today everything is geared towards age, beauty and above all, money for the producers. IMHO programmes like 'X Factor' and Britain's Got Talent' suck. Back in the 60s, 70s and 80s, people could really sing. My apologies to the exceptions today, but you prove the rule, I am afraid. Great post Frank and thank you.
My Maiden Name is Gomez, my Uncles also spent time in Red Hook, B'klyn. Columbia Street. They owned bars "social clubs".
Damn these guys can harmonize!!
Listen to those violins, the harmony in their voices! Priceless, OMG!!!
What can i say? Nothing! This is a pure nugget. Thanks for all Gentlemen, we had such a lovely cause of you all. God bless!
The Bee Gees version is good....but Tavares' version is HANDS-DOWN tops!
So so true.
Pero la de Tavares es mucho mejor.
Hi Tee H. 1 think you are right. steve m.
I agree with this comment 100%
Tee H you got it Hun!!🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🐘🐼🐬🐳🐕🐻🐅🐄🐖
Tavares rules this song.
Better than The Bee Gees, as we enter the 2020's
El grupo Tavares siempre estará entre los grupos preferidos,sus canciones me transporta a épocas de Oro de mi vida y eso no se olvida ,Excelentes cantantes .Su música vive en mi corazón.
THE SOUL IS STILL IN THE SONG!!
It's nice that both versions of the song were in 'Saturday Night Fever.' Back in the 70s, people used these songs to escape from the depressing issues and harsh realities. With this virus destroying so many lives, all of a sudden, I am understanding very well why these songs were so important in the 70s.
This version is far more soulful than the Bee Gees pop version. Tavares did a great job on this version. This is far better to me.
Remember listening to Tavares during my disco days in the 70's. Lived in Queens but use to travel to Long Island on the weekends to the clubs. They were better times. Can't remember the club we use to go to but Tavares was the group .
Hola soy Gloria de Chile y tengo 62 años yo soy de esa. Onda La disco no soy muy experta en Ingles pero trate de entender lo que Ud quiso decir Un gran abrazo de acá de Santiago de Chile y deseando algun día conocer los Estados Unidos de América
Right on!
Right on Michael - don’t understand what the other chick is saying
@@gloriagonzalezparedes9057 Saludos desde Houston, Texas. yo tengo 46 años y este tipo de musica ya estaba pasando de onda cuando naci pero siempre quede impresionado y hasta la fecha me gusta escucharla.
Tavares...classic music NEVER goes out of style.
O ano era 1977, eu com 15 anos, filas enormes para assistir o filme: OS EMBALOS DE SÁBADO A NOITE e nos fins de semana, discoteca de garagem com essa e outras músicas maravilhosas, fui mto feliz nessa época e hje, só saudades e recordações desse tempo Mágico!😥💜❤
E hj vivemos um culto a mediocridade. 😢
Vc descreveu a minha vida estamos no grupo de risco kkkkk
@@vilsonalves6944 Vdd kkkkk
Fato vdd
Rest In Peace Mr Ralph Tavares.
The big 'froes and the matching suits, the immaculate vocals. Yep, it's the Tavares, one of the finest soul units in history. 👌
Wish I could bring the late 70s back.
I will help. Lol 😲
Brings back such sweet memories, love them......
Who's listening in 2019 as me?
Me, ever since I was a 22 year old Air Force Sergeant up till now
Right here, partner!
Me too
Me........60s 70s and 80s had the best music EVER.
Eu estou.
I always thought Tavares was better than The Bee Gees especially doing this song. No doubt about it!
Festival de Viña del Mar 1979 , exitazo en Chile !!!!!
It's normal to compare, but both versions have their own uniqueness and musical expression. I must admit this version makes me want to dance in my tracks!
The 70s were a great time to be alive. We sure had a lot of fun that i will never forget. The dancing and the music was always great and people were a lot happier.
And the world was a whole lot safer.
Joseph Puzzo Yes it was a lot more sane and people still had morals.
I'm from Czech Republic and I sign your comment in its entirety, I love this time these songs, I'm 40 years and I love this time and always go back to it using songs 70let.Všechny you greetings from Czech, bye
yes the mid to late 70's were great and then when the 80's kicked in it just got even better ,, and yes great times and people were really happy .. merry Christmas and happy new year
Your right.. again .. spot on..
1977 and Saturday Night Fever, and my favourite musical film ever, every song a classic, must say Tavares version is pure disco and the group still going strong now albeit one member.
I'm listening to the group also! Both Tavares and the he Bee Gees sound great ❤!
The best version
I like both the Tavares and Bee Gees for this song. Good Times in the late 1970's.
Y love two versions Are ungetables.I love this song.Tavares ,and Bee Gees..I love both songs.
This is the version I first heard and fell in love with. The tune just hits better this way compared to the original. Ah....so good to bear this again
Man, both versions are just timeless and brilliant. This one and Bee Gees'.
Amo essa versão !!!
Essa é a original versão é bee gees
I’m happy this song exists
Night fever; what music
Saudades de um tempo que não volta mais
Verdade mara só quem viveu esta época maravilhosa cheia fe amor e paz sabe o que digo!
Até que enfim encontrei um comentário em português, é isso aí Mara tempos únicos que realmente não voltam mais só saudades no coração.
@@aluisiosilva9585 Estava assistindo ontem nos Embalos de Sabado a Noite, quando tocou essa música, as lagrimas escorreram em meu rosto...
@@campineiro77 eu fico emocionado também com estas preciosidades daquele tempo maravilhoso ,só que eu choro por dentro.
Muito show
I love the Brother Gibbs but this version is awesome !
Tavares version much better vocally, passionate. Known these guys since New Bedford, MA👍
Heard this version in a casino, I quit gambling because I hit the jackpot of covers
Es la música de mi juventud de las disco cuando fiebre del sábado noche los Bee Gees creo que la mejor época de mi vida los primeros amores. Creo nunca la música fue tan buena como en los setenta.
Hola Rafael soy Gloria de Chile y tengo 62 años y como te podras dar cuenta yo también viví esa época la de los grandes de la onda Disco a mi también me recuerda my época de juventud los primeros Amores las fiestas de los Sábados los amigos y muchas cosas más
Si, me gusta mucho de las chicas Argentinas anios 70!!😍
Comparto lo mismo que tú sabes la mejor época los setentas.
Yo en esa época era un niñito de 5 años empezaba a tener uso de razón y entre mis recuerdos más entrañables está toda ésta música disco fantástica y hasta la fecha ,me ha acompañado toda mi vida
This was, by far, the best song of all fantastic songs from "Saturday Night Fever". I was hugely surprised that it was only a minor hit.
+frankie hunter, LOL, it was a BIG hit with me. Still love it as much as the first time I heard. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE both versions.
People didn't know what they were witnessing and listening too
If I remember this was a big uk hit
It wasn't only a minor hit,it was no.1 in America and top 5 over here
Love both versions 😘😘
Brilliant, what a band. you can even hear the words.
Miranda , I’ve always loved you and your music and this song reinforces my sentiments.
Década de 70, deixou com certeza, muita recordação!! Essa é uma das músicas. Saudades!!!!
1977 OU 1978
I have the Saturday Fever soundtrack on cd. It's a great track. I love this version! John Travolta and Karen are practicing their moves in this scene. Love the movie as well!
Sarah Thomas OMG Those were the good ode days not a care in the world do you agree?
great movie
I Have The Saturday Night Fever Album And Movie On DVR.
I have 'Saturday NIght Fever' on 8 Track! Ok, I bought it only a few years ago on Ebay, but it is still in its original cardboard sleeve ; )
I'm watching Saturday Night Fever for the 100th time since a child. They are practicing to the song now. Thats what brought me back yet again!!! I must say I do Love both versions (Smile)
Happy innocent days at the weekly disco!
I love both versions of more than a woman bee gees was great but damn tavares rocked this song you can feel the power and soul .
THANKS I LOVED TAVARES AMAZING GROUP
