The Box Tops - I Met Her In Church

[buffspringfield]

Alex was one cool dude, I assume he knew JESUS wonderful to hear, r.i.p. Alex see you soon in heaven brother

[destinyblue5]

Oh my God... this is sooo cool. I can't believe I have never heard it before. I wish there was a video for it. So awesome!

I hope this doesn't offend anyone: This guy Alex Chilton was So much better that Stevie Winwood.Sorry... Dave Mason , to me was the only thing remotely interesting in the band Traffic. Spencer davis group had 2 hits? Hello. Big difference. Like comparing the Moody Snooze to the band LOVE.

Lots of his vocal inflections remind me of Jesse Colin Young's style. I'm thinking this is where Jesse was influenced.

The American equivalent of Stevie Winwood, in that at such a young age both had such rich, amazing voices that were both instantly recognisable. The Boxtops were one of my favourite bands of the late 60s, thanks to Alex Chilton's superbly distinctive vocals.

What a great group! Alex you will not be forgotten!

 Alex Chilton -rest in peace

[JSG1951]

RIp Alex Chilton!!

[nilsdrew]

so sad to hear that the lead singer died recently in 2010 .

Good group. The great band was the Replacements. And the Replacements or Paul evidently got ideas from Alex a la Date to Church which is much better with a great keyboard swirl. Alex even looks a little like Paul here.

My grandfather wrote this song!

RIP Chilton.

This spring will be the time when the dead rock stars (I speak of the real true stars) will outnumber the living ones. Chilton went last week, and Johnny Maestro from The Crests ("Sixteen Candles") followed him yesterday.

RIP all of you.

His voice really comes out with such clarity and conviction that really enhances his sound as well as the others members instruments. You have one of the best sounding sites and definitely music from one of the best groups ever!!!.

Great Group. They did so many I liked. I have this one somewhere. Great to hear them again!

Thanks
