Today, Alex Chilton died. Legendary vocalist of The Box Tops, Big Star, and numerous solo ventures, at age 59, way too young to leave us. Imagine, at age 16, he was an internaional star of what some say was a two hit wonder, The Box Tops.Great soulful voice.
"In my opinion, Alex was the most talented triple threat musician out of Memphis -- and that's saying a ton," said Replacements frontman Paul Westerberg. "His versatility at soulful singing, pop-rock songwriting, master of the folk idiom, and his delving into the avant garde, goes without equal. He was also a hell of a guitar player and a great guy."
