Gosh, I miss Alex. "The Singer, Not the Song." indeed, but of course Alex had exquisite taste. A human jukebox, with the purtiest voice.

[@johnmmjj3162]

He had such presence. His voice and guitar always stood out over the mix. He was always a Star.

Absolutely spotless delivery from AC ❤️

My belated brother loved TFC and got to know this band quite well (he was a Celtic supporter too),I went along with him to see them at the Lemon Tree, got backstage afterwards ,plenty booze & smoked hash with them. If I've told this story before STV ,forgive me , I'm the big 5 0 this weekend ....My old man brain is kicking in.

Thanks for posting this great collaboration. I confess to not knowing much about TFC with Alex, all in the zone.

Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it

Did you catch how LX threw the "Theme to A Summer Place" into his solo?

[@jourdanredden3190]

I always thought he was playing the organ riff from “Time is Tight” by Booker T. and the MGs. They’re similar.

[@DrMbutu]

@@jourdanredden3190 it’s definitely time is tight. “I've Never Found A Girl” has a writing credit for booker t

[@chasejohnston5240]

The original recording by Eddie Floyd has a guitar solo that quotes "Theme to a Summer Place". Definitely not "Time is Tight".

[@peterzang]

Brilliant. An amazing idiosyncratic guitar

So psyched you posted this.

@@ScottishTeeVee Yes, indeed! I'm from Memphis, so anything Alex Chilton (and Teenage Fanclub, for good measure) is fine by me.

Some damned good music, here. :)

Made for a nice chilled Sunday morn, great STV. Got to be more followers on the way, 💩 hot quality.

I'm a huge Big Star fan. Never really cared much about Alex Chilton's solo career. I'm also a huge Teenage Fanclub fan and I know they owe a huge debt to Big Star so these two talents playing together is obviously logical and it sounds pretty great.

[@jeffshoemaker2462]

I was lucky. The first record I ever bought as a 6 year old was The Letter, so I went with Alex on the journey of his life…as such, the solo stuff made sense to me when it happened. To play someone Daisy Glaze and then Bangkok would be a mistake. They’ll hate it, when they shouldn’t.

[@richalderson6069]

@jeffshoemaker2462 Alex was never predictable, he never did things the easy way.

[@jeffshoemaker2462]

@@richalderson6069 He certainly didn’t. Even I had issues with some of the later records, like A Man Called Destruction. They sit better with me now that I have gotten older. But I bought Like Flies when it cane out, and the 19 year old musical psychopath that I was was immediately sucked in. I sure do miss him.

[@BeatPatrol2024]

Do you know in which venue this was recorded ?

[@steelygray]

Very very nice, thank you for sharing this.

Perfect combo ❤

[@vadimtaver7234]

Great video and collaboration. What songs are these? I can’t find them elsewhere.

[@sebastienlebechennec3286]

These are covers. The first one is "I've Never Found a Girl (To Love Me Like You Do)", originally by the great soul singer Eddie Floyd. The other one is "My Heart Stood Still" written by Rodgers & Hart for a 1927 revue and later sung/played by Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Chet Baker, Bill Evans, etc.

Wow.
