R.I.P. Alex Chilton

[Truckin]

Former Box Tops member Alex Chilton has died. Wasn't sure if this posted already. I did a search but didn't see anything on it.

Here's the link:

Also the frontman of Big Star. What a loss.

Not familiar with who this is, but any musician who passes is a loss.

We dont have a Big Star thread or a Box Tops thread......could explain why I am not familiar with Chilton.

Reckon I could do that. I know nothing about Big Star , the band Alex played in after The Boxtops. So maybe someone else can contribute a thread on Big Star?

I have read Truckin's thread for the Boxtops,,,we have another potential Bucky on our hands here.

Highly recommended it's in the 60's section.

I've just been getting into Big Star - I like what I've heard so far.
