Aye carumba! We're on a roll with losing too many good ones. The Letter is such a classic. Always on my mind is eternal.

RIP. Thanks for the music.

First song ever tried by a bunch of jr high boys trying to start our first band. We really sucked, but it didn't matter. The jr high girls came to listen anyway.

Alex Chilton (RIP) indeed was only 16 when he led the Box Tops to this #1 hit.
Isn't that amazing ?
