Youtube fan here. I had a wish to here some Box Tops, in particular the song 'Soul Deep', but also like 'The Letter' and 'Cry Like a Baby'. Come to find out lead singer Alex Chilton died back in March after a sudden heart attack.

Wow! Live and learn. It's a shame, cause they were a really nice group.

Uhh...what about Big Star?
I think most people knew him for fronting that band more than anything else.
