Now this really confused me. This is the song I played to as kid on the drums, (like 12 or 13 yrs. old, a 45 record, that I still have and drum to).

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqkCotxAueM"]YouTube- The Box Tops - Soul Deep[/ame]

Which I believe (?) was the flip or "B" side to this famous song of theirs:

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-z8RCfnWPOo&feature=related"]YouTube- The Box Tops - The Letter (1967)[/ame]

And I looked at his biography and saw he was only 59 when he passed away?! Confused some more I was? THEN, I saw when this song became a #1 hit, HE WAS ONLY 16 years old! DAG!! That explained THAT mystery! What a voice and what "soul" this kid [then] had!! Unbelievable!

(And here I thought the 45 I played to THEN was kind of an "oldie" that my older sister had!)

THEN there is this well known song from the Box Tops with him singing:

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVY691ObVJE"]YouTube- The Box Tops - Cry Like a Baby[/ame]

Which I can still hear this from the "Sweet Shoppe" jukebox, where all of us kids hung out and played pool and pinball - actually where my parents had met! (Kind of like a Happy Days Place back in the 50's, but the same guy owned it until he was like 100 yrs old. Bless you Ray Lee!!) Smile

And an all time favorite song of mine, (if you give me bells, chimes, etc... I am VERY HAPPY)!

R.I.P. Alex!
