My dad who was in Vietnam said this song helped him through that horrific time. He came home but was never the same. I’m happy he had something like this song to come home. Too bad he couldn’t find the peace he was looking for. He was too young gone at 51. To all the veterans thank you. 🙏

I left to serve my country during the Vietnam era, my high school sweet said she would wait for me. She left me for my brother, so after my tour I never went home, met a lady, got married. Then I received “The Letter” from my first love asking me to come home. I threw the letter away, never replied. I feel much better now it’s off my shoulders. Thx World The BoxTops…

Your post hit me. I was on a sub-tender during that era. My sweetheart and I were going to marry upon my return. I lost her to another when she went off to college. Shattered me. Still have a large box full of her letters. But I wasn't as strong as you. I had to find her, and a best friend did, on Facebook. Our lives went in different directions in cities miles apart. We've been emailing for 2 years now. She's married with a family, and I'm single. We will remain friends for the rest of our lives. I solute you sir, for your service. And it's a song like "The Letter" that makes one want to play it over and over.

Such a great song. The first time I heard this song was about 30 years ago when I was 15 and hanging out at the corner bar. There was a guy, Bob. He was a Vietnam Vet/POW and had vertical scars over his eyes. He loved this song to no end. Always asked me to play it. We'd sing it at the top of our lungs. He told me it reminded him of a better time.

I got to see Alex Chilton and the Box Tops in person at a dance hall in Iowa in 1968, I was only 16 at that time, I went with some buddies to see them perform, it was amazing, there was no stage,just a raised platform they were playing on, you could walk up to them only a foot or two away from them when they were performing, it was unreal, they were really cool and very friendly,and the dance hall wasn't packed with people either. Their live performance sounded perfect,and Alex sang so good! It was in the winter,with a lot of snow on the ground outside,their was a bar in the dance hall and everyone was having drinks, today a lot of younger people dont even know who the Boxtops were,they had hit after hit records, I'm glad I got to see them up close in person.

The 60's had some of the greatest rock and roll music ever. Back then the groups actually sang and played instruments. None of that AI stuff. What a fabulous time to be alive 😄👍👍👍👍👍🎺🎷🪘🎹🥁🎸💖💜💙💛💚❤️💝🌻🌹🌷🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I have so many memories connected to this song. When it came out I had just finished boot camp and ITR, at Camp Pendleton, and was awaiting orders. Spent a lot of my free time listening to the radio. This song reminds me of going home to Phoenix to see my girlfriend, flying military stand-by, any time I could get away. The Letter was also part of the soundtrack of our lives in Vietnam. Years later, I lived in Memphis for several years, and found out a lot more about The Boxtops, which was one of many garage bands that sprang up in Memphis in the 60s. A former member of the band started a restaurant chain called Huey's, which was one of our favorite places to go. The Boxtops were very young when they hit it big, and true to form, they got the wrong end of the stick in their business dealings. But they made an indelible contribution of pop music in the brief time they were around.

This song was on a 90 minute cassette mixtape of several songs my cousin Ronnie recorded to take with him to Vietnam, but he was troubled about going to fight in a war he was against since we lived in Northern California where, in 1967, was the home of the Anti War Movement and the Summer of Love! Ronnie was pressured to enlist in the Navy because his father was a highly decorated WWII Vet and was determined that his son should follow in his footsteps. Ronnie’s feelings were largely unknown to his brother Larry, his parents, myself, all our other cousins and relatives, and some of his friends at Cloverdale High School. In the end, he was caught between pleasing (placating) his father and going to Vietnam… which he was already legally committed to do after his father had taken him to the recruiting office to enlist when he was still only 17 (Being part of a large Navy Family, it’s just something we did)!!! I only knew Ronnie was unhappy about the situation, and he frequently expressed this to me, but I didn’t understand how deeply distraught he was becoming as his High School Graduation was getting closer, despite being 8 months away! Late Halloween Night, after he got off of work as the projectionist at the local small movie theater in Cloverdale, I can only imagine how he was feeling inside… the last Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other celebrations at home… because, he would be gone at least 2 years, if he made it back alive (in his mind) before he would be able to celebrate any of these holidays with his family again! He knew how disappointed and angry his father would be if he went to Canada, or dodged his legally binding commitment to serve, which he would have been arrested for- after the first day he would be considered AWOL!! So, while driving to his parent’s home late that Halloween Night in 1967, he made the decision to take his life by driving over, and then off of, the embankment of the Cloverdale Bridge (Old Highway 101) crashing down a steep rocky ridge into the frigid and fast moving water of the Russian River where he drowned after having been knocked unconscious from the impact. It was so late and so dark in that small town that nobody saw what happened until early in the morning when someone saw the signs of an obvious collision off the northern approach to the bridge span coming from the northern part of town and heading southbound at a fairly high rate of speed (in a 25 mph zone) to make sure he didn’t just land on the rocks there… I’ll never forget every detail that led to his suicide- since I was the only family member who knew how Ronnie really felt, and hearing this song just transports me back to that time and causes those memories to just reverberate, yet it reminds me of the warm friendly character Ronnie was and all the great times we had together!! Ronnie’s younger brother Larry was killed on his motorcycle in Germany by a “Ghost Rider” flying down the wrong way of the Autobahn at a high rate of speed, and without any headlights on, which was considered a daredevil kind of prank for young German drivers who were usually intoxicated. But this activity was considered almost common since they even had a name for the deadly prank, and the people who were driving! My other cousin Larry was stationed in the US Army over in Germany. But there wasn’t much of him left to send back to his parents in 1977. Just around 10 years after his older brother Ronnie had died. Larry was buried at the Fort Presidio Army Base Cemetery in San Francisco, California, and in a spot that looks over the entire western part of the SF Bay, near the Golden Gate Bridge. He was given full military honors at his burial. Their parents were shattered after having lost their sons to steel, rubber, asphalt, and having US Military commitments!! I’m reminded of Larry by this song since we wrote each other often… and I’m reminded even more about Ronnie because it was the first song on his mixtape, and because I really miss all the letters we never got to send to each other… and after over 55 years, it’s also about all the missed times we never got to spend with each other as we grew older… I never could bring myself to tell Ronnie’s father what he really thought about going to fight in a war he despised as much as his friends all did back then! I don’t know if it’s fortunate that Larry never went to Vietnam, having waited a few years after it ended before he decided to enlist in the service. And I’d like to think he did it to make up to his father for what Ronnie couldn’t serve… So their father never knew what Ronnie sacrificed to avoid going to Vietnam, and by my not saying anything, it would never spoil his perception of Ronnie’s death as anything but accidental!!! So I have no regrets for staying silent!!!

Wow. This was a heartfelt read. I am so sorry to hear about Ronnie. I am much younger (having been born in 2004) but I just can't even imagine the inner turmoil that your cousin must have felt. Knowing that the war shouldn't even have been fought in the first place but also wanting to make your dad who is basically your hero at that age happy. Thank you very much for sharing this.

We would have have maybe heard more of Big Star if Alex would have given in the fact he sang best when he used the same soulful voice they made him use on the Box Top recordings.

Reggie Young of American Studios in Memphis, TN is the guitar player you’re hearing on both of those recordings. Not to disparage Gary, but Reggie should be getting those accolades…

Remembering Alex Chilton born on December 28, 1950. He was an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, and record producer best known as the lead singer of the Box Tops and Big Star. Chilton's early commercial success in the 1960s as a teen vocalist for the Box Tops was never repeated in later years with Big Star and in his subsequent indie music solo career on small labels, but he drew an intense following among indie and alternative rock musicians. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Chilton

@msherer260 8 ай бұрын
He was only successful with the Box Tops because the producer had him use a soulful style voice, which he would not do later.

One of my favorite songs that I'd hear when riding in my dad's truck when he'd take me to work as a kid. I had to have been 4 years old, but this is up there with "Bus Stop" by the Hollies, "Classical Gas" by Mason Williams, "Spooky" by The Classics IV, and "Little Red Riding Hood" by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs as some of my earliest memories.

Remembering Danny Smythe born on August 25, 1948. He was an American drummer and a founding member of The Box Tops, an American rock band. With the Box Tops he had major hits on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, such as the #1 hit in 1967, "The Letter", and the #2 hit in 1968, "Cry Like a Baby". By January 1968, he returned to school. After his time with the band, he studied art and was a freelance illustrator for advertising agencies. The original lineup of the Box Tops reunited in 1996. The cover of the band's album Tear Off! (1998) was designed by Smythe. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Smythe
