  • The Box Tops were a Memphis rock group of the second half of the 1960s. They are best known for the hits "The Letter," "Neon Rainbow," "Soul Deep," "I Met Her in Church," and "Cry Like A Baby," and are considered a major blue-eyed soul group of the period. They performed a mixture of current soul music songs by artists such as James and Bobby Purify and Clifford Curry, pop tunes such as "A Whiter Shade of Pale" by Keith Reid, Gary Brooker and Matthew Fisher of Procol Harum, and songs written by their producers, Dan Penn, Spooner Oldham, and Chips Moman. Vocalist Alex Chilton went on to front the powerpop band Big Star and to launch a career as a solo artist, during which he occasionally performed songs he had sung with the Box Tops. The Box Tops' music combined elements of soul music and light pop. Their records are prime examples of the styles made popular by Moman and Penn at American Sound Studio in Memphis. Many of their lesser known Top 40 hits are considered minor classics; these include "Neon Rainbow"; "Sweet Cream Ladies, Forward March"; and "I Met Her in Church. " As rock critic Lester Bangs wrote in a review of the group's Super Hits album, "A song like 'Soul Deep' is obvious enough, a patented commercial sound, yet within these strictures it communicates with a depth and sincerity of feeling that holds the attention and brings you back often."
  • The Box Tops var en amerikansk popgrupp bildad i Memphis, Tennessee år 1966. Gruppen bestod av Alex Chilton (sång), Gary Talley (gitarr), John Evan (orgel), Bill Cunningham (bas) och Danny Smythe (trummor). Efter att ha kallat sig The Devilles ett tag innan bytte man 1966 namn till The Box Tops för att inte förväxlas med en annan grupp som hade samma namn. Medlemmarna i gruppen var unga kompisar som knappt hade studerat klart. 1967 släpptes gruppens första singel som också kom att bli deras största hit The Letter. Den låg etta på den amerikanska Billboard-listan i fyra veckor. Efter succén gjorde gruppens producent vissa saker som ledde till konfunderingar inom gruppen. Han började spela in låtar med endast några och ibland bara sångaren, Alex Chilton i The Box Tops och andra inhyrda studiomusiker. Två av medlemmarna fick då nog och gick tillbaka till studierna. År 1968 kom gruppens andra hit, och den sista riktigt stora, Cry Like a Baby (tvåa på Billboard), men Chilton hade visat stort missnöje med materialet som producenten gav gruppen och bröt sig kort därefter loss från honom. Dock blev det inga stora hits och två år senare var The Box Tops historia. Andra singlar från gruppen var Neon Rainbow, Choo Choo Train och Soul Deep. Chilton och en till ur Box Tops-gänget gick en tid efter detta med i det psykedeliska bandet Big Star.
