Everyone remember The Box Tops? I'm sure we all do, especially when you think of great songs like "The Letter", "Soul Deep" and "Cry Like A Baby". The Box Tops was a very talented group of guys from Memphis.
Formed officially as The Box Tops in 1967, the band featured Danny Smythe on drums, John Evans on guitar and keyboards, Bill Cunningham on bass and keyboards, Gary Talley on lead guitar, sitar and bass and 17 year old vocalist sensation and guitarist Alex Chilton.
Though only one number one hit (The Letter) came out of their career, they did indeed provide us with some very good music. In 2001 they played at the World Trade Center... and were a huge hit with the crowd, returning for 2 encores. To this date, they are still rockin'!
