I bought a 3 piece suit that was made in Italy from Australian Merino wool. It took me 12 months to pay it off in installments. On with my suit into my 1956 Ford Customline and off to the cabaret. I looked and felt a million dollars. We had it all,back then, but the world was too stupid to realize it. If I ever get to heaven I want to live in the 50s, 60s and 70s, have a nice simple girl with no tattoos and just have fun again.

Oh, I thought I wasn't a good dancer, but compared to the guys in this video I was pretty good. Still can't think of the song without imagining carrying a wooden M-14 in a cloud of dust; the 16's hadn't reached training yet, we got those in Vietnam.

We came in 2nd. Good times. Back then we did a dance called, "The Skate". A lot of these teens in this video are doing that dance. "The Skate" became popular after "The Boogaloo".

He passed away over 10 years ago , i hope and pray the Lord receives him with open arms and that his Mother is also there to receive him , his Mother passed away when he was 6 years old and it did effect the way he looked at life. And so being one of his only earthly brothers , i hope our Lord GOD in Heaven receives him with open arms. 1955

"The Letter" was a Monster Hit in '67 - so influential on other blue-eyed Soul and R&B bands who would follow, particularly, Creedence Clearwater Revival - yet The Box Tops were still Memphis teenagers when they recorded this gem. Lead singer, Alex Chilton, has been often-immitated, but rarely equaled.

This is from my young memory of hearing music. I think this song is the first one that I know and remember from Elvis Presley.

Just love the dancing - so much better than any vastly overproduced and costly music video these days.

1967; straight outta American Sound Studios in Memphis, with a 16-year-old named Alex Chilton on lead. The perfect song for when you mistimed the backtiming into the news at the top of the hour; fading anywhere from 1:30 till the song ends at 1:57. Joe Cocker covered it in 1970, with a completely different arrangement, and it hit again. As for AB, it was still on weekdays in some places on ABC; no dirty dancing allowed back then.

and Rich Malone was guitarist on the original recording but he had to move with his parents to Calif before the song was released.

"Did you know that "The Letter" by The Box Tops was a minute and 58 seconds long? Means nothing. Nil. But it takes them less than two minutes to accomplish what Jethro Tull takes hours to not accomplish!" Phillip Seymour Hoffman's fantastic monologue in Almost Famous took me here...

On the commercial flight taking me to Nam, summer of 68', there was a headphone set up that had about a dozen songs on it.This was one of them. I played those songs over on over most of the way. A few months later I was on a stretcher headed back to the USA.
