ALEX CHILTON, 59
Leader of the Box Tops
Alex Chilton died March 17th and was the lead singer of the great old 60s group, the Box Tops out of Memphis, Tennessee. Who says white boys can't sing soul?
He took over the lead vocals of the Devilles and at age 16 had the number one song in the country with "The Letter." i always thought a much older person sand it. How could a person so young have a voice like that?
The Box Tops had a string of hits in the late 60s to early 70s, most of which are favorites of mine: Cry Like a Baby, Soul Deep, Neon Rainbow, Choo Choo Train, I Met Her in Church and Sweet Cream Ladies (Forward Marchdied March.
Thanks For All the Songs.
