Biography
Alex Chilton (December 28, 1950, Memphis - March 17, 2010, New Orleans) was an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. He fronted *The Box Tops* as a teenager, scoring a number one with 'The Letter' in 1967, then co-founded *Big Star*, whose albums '#1 Record', 'Radio City' and 'Third' defined power pop and influenced generations of alternative musicians despite poor initial sales. His later solo career was wilfully eclectic and deconstructive.
