Alex Chilton (Memphis, Tennessee, December 28, 1950 – New Orleans, Louisian… Read Full Bio ↴Alex Chilton (Memphis, Tennessee, December 28, 1950 – New Orleans, Louisiana, March 17, 2010) was an American songwriter, guitarist, singer, and producer, best known for his work with the pop-music bands The Box Tops and Big Star. Chilton's early commercial sales success in the 1960s as a teen vocalist for The Box Tops was not repeated in later years with Big Star and in his indie music solo career on small labels like Last Call Records, New Rose, Razor and Tie, Bar/None, and others, but he did draw a loyal following in the indie and alternative music fields.
Chilton said in the September 1994 issue of Guitar Player that he considers himself a "musical performer, not a songwriter" and that some of his songs sound only "half-baked" to him. Nonetheless, his compositions have been performed by a number of artists, including Teenage Fanclub, This Mortal Coil, The Bangles, Wilco, Graham Coxon, Garbage, Tom Bradbury, Son Volt, Counting Crows, Elliott Smith, Jeff Buckley, Superdrag, Evan Dando, Cat Power, Yo La Tengo, Placebo, Xiu Xiu, and His Name Is Alive. The Replacements wrote the song Alex Chilton in his honor on their 1987 Pleased to Meet Me album, produced by Jim Dickinson in Memphis.
On March 17, 2010, Alex Chilton died of an apparent heart attack in a hospital in New Orleans. He was 59.

Who in the world could ever cut the Stones on one of their greatest originals and also play an even nastier guitar than Keith Richards? You have the privilege of looking at him smoking a cig. Alex, we all miss ya.
John Cooper
I’m still looking. Closest I’ve heard or seen anyone come close was Johnny Winter. This here is a swing & miss.
David Carpenter
One of the Stone's best records, but I like this version even more.
Sharrose
I love anything by Alex
Coogan
This is garbage dude
john s
I was lucky enough to see him live on one of his infrequent sojourns,and I can honestly say the guy marched to his own beat which is why some people will never get him...I don't necessarily think he was a genius,but he certainly was a one of a kind,and that's good enough for me
Eugene Davies
The, most talented overall musicial figure, to ever come out of Memphis....bold statement i know...but its TRUE.
Pra Daswani
he was not a genius he was God.
Juicesus Maximus
When the cover is better than the original. I believe he was 19 when he did this.
Spencer Coe
@Karen Drugs and alcohol isn't what killed him. The book about him "A Man Called Destruction" suggests that he only really dealt with drugs in the late 70s and drinking until about the mid or late 80s. I think it was more the fact that he smoked 4 packs of cigrettes a day for like 25 years.
