Alex Chilton (born named William Alexander Chilton, on
December 28,
1950, in
Memphis, Tennessee) is 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.
