In 1967, the Box Tops went all the way to #1 with, “The Letter, ” thanks to lead singer, Alex Chilton. The 45 on Mala Records is worth no more than $15.00. In 1968, the band reached #2 with “Cry like a Baby.” Chilton said his singing voice was not his natural voice but a result of too much drinking and lack of sleep. He left the Box Tops in 1970 and formed Big Star, which was commercially unsuccessful but a heavy influence on bands such as R.E.M. In 1979, Chilton went solo and recorded the album “Like Flies on Sherbert.” Released on Peabody Records, a copy is worth up to $350.00 today.
