Supercharged is the eighth album by the American soul/R&B group Tavares.[2] It was produced by David Foster, Benjamin Wright and Bobby Colomby, and released in 1980 on Capitol Records.[1] Supercharged is similar in style to the group's previous album Madam Butterfly, although not as highly regarded at its predecessor. Lead single "Bad Times" reached the R&B top 10 and #47 on the pop chart, the group's first showing on that chart since "More Than a Woman" in 1977. Supercharged made #20 on the R&B chart and #75 on the pop chart.
