wow great music there. I wasn't aware of The Box Tops before...I read that his later band, Big Star, was a huge influence for bands like REM and The Replacements. He also produced the first Cramps album, 'songs the Lord taught us' is an essential psychobilly album.
 
Another sad loss...

A sad loss. I'm glad I managed to see the reformed Big Star (which included members of The Posies).
