Tams (Original)

To hear it, you might think you just stepped into Motown. To breathe it, you smell a tropical breeze. To feel it, you let the rhythm grasp your body and whirl it into motion. To see it, is like an extravaganza of light and energy. But to experience it, you must say it... "I want THE TAMS"!!

The Tams were formed in Atlanta, GA in 1962. It's members were Joseph Pope and Charles Pope (founders), Horace Key, Floyd Ashton, and Robert Lee Smith. In the beginning, they sang and danced as a way of having fun and to escape their circumstances, hoping to make at least a little money. The current members include Charles Pope, his son Li'l Redd, Joe Jones, Mike Jones and Reginald Preston. Despite the unfortunate passing of "The Legendary Joe Pope", The Tams have continued to be as popular as ever. Forty two years after the group's formation, Charles and Li'l Redd continue to lead The Tams toward success. Fans clamor to see Charles Pope - Living Legend, and Li'l Redd - Fastest Feet in the South! And with a new generation of "Little Tams" coming along, Charles puts it best when he says "The Tams will NEVER die" !!
