Box Tops - I'm Your Puppet

[WickedTornado]

I have always loved this song, but until 5 min. ago...have never heard this version from the Box Tops. I think it's magnificent. I love that guitar meandering around in the background so easily...and as someone else mentioned..love the bells. Those bells seem a lost art in music. Does anybody know if these are studio musicians playing on this, or is it the true Box Top lineup? And if this singer truly was a teen when recording this....he must have had a lot of miles on his soul. joel in tucson

What a great, soulful version from a young white boy from Memphis!

I just bought The Letter in vinyl today. It cost something around 2$.... Now I'm looking forward to fixing my mom's old record player :D

[strebis6]

@bluekitteneyes Where did you buy it from?

[bluekitteneyes]

@strebis6 a man on the street that sold old books and some other vinyls...

I have only just heard about Alex's sad passing, maybe because I live in Britain and he was not so well-known here as he was in the US but I always loved his music, it reminds me of my schooldays -my friends and I thought he was quite a looker and his voice was awesome -thanks for the memories Alex -you had soul man !

Alex'a voice- a teenage kid here- was capable of so many things- so rich and powerful in this lovely song. RIP

[mbpulley]

A lovely grown-up song with a deceptively straightforward melody.

[sftrajan]

a really nice version of this song-- RIP Alex

[mbrand19971]

Love this cover rendition of that song that I'm hearing now that's better than the James & Bobby Purify.

This is the best version of this song, love the bells they use. Boxtops were GREAT!
